Bayern Munich star Thomas Müller has been through this situation before at Bayern Munich.
A new coach, new players, a new style of play…Müller understands how to navigate through these treacherous waters.
“Everything is being put to the test. It will be an interesting few weeks and that is exactly what makes the business work in the end,” he told Sport1. “It’s a very dynamic situation. Everyone has to prove themselves, everyone has to show themselves in a new way. We have a new coach, many new players.”
Müller and his teammates are being guaranteed nothing as Vincent Kompany and his superiors look to push the club into its next generation, while also changing — or at least modifying — some of the locker room culture.
The season will prove the new regime right or wrong, but Müller and his mates will have to be flexible and adaptable — or they could get left behind.
