Hello everyone! It’s been a while since the last edition of “Thomas Müller’s Monthly Musings”, the last of which was way back in March when Thomas Tuchel was still Bayern Munich coach. I’ve had a lot happen in those six months, but now we’re back! In the build-up to the September edition of this series (which gets published on Müller’s birthday), you can catch up on the editions we missed by reading their syntheses here:
July 2024
Germany had just gotten into the quarterfinals of the Euros after a strong group performance with wins against Scotland and Hungary and a late draw against Switzerland, before beating Denmark 2-0 to bump into Spain in the quarters. Müller recapped those games and highlighted the harmony of the team and called for the full support of Germans and fans of the German NT across the world.
August 2024
Bayern were in South Korea at the time for a preseason tour with new coach Vincent Kompany and in this edition, Müller wrote about how excited he is for the 2024/25 season, why dietary fiber is important in your diet, and partnered with Erding Thermal Spa (where he filmed two “ThoMats Challenges” with close friend Mats Hummels). The promo coincided with the Spa’s 25th anniversary where if you bought items from the spa, you get prizes and a chance to meet Müller himself.
Looking for more thoughts and analysis on the current state of Bayern Munich under Vincent Kompany? What about four key storylines to follow after international break? Or…what about why Jamal Musiala snubbing by the Ballon d’Or committee might create some longer-term issues for the Bavarians? Great, then we have you covered with this latest edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works — Weekend Warm-up Show! You can get the podcast on Patreon, Spotify, or below:
