Tuesday went off the rails with the brewing controversy rising (or not rising) between Bayern Munich and membership legend Thomas Müller.
Earlier than both of the 2 large Müller tales broke, nevertheless, Mario Basler had some ideas on Müller’s scenario on the membership…and also you would possibly wish to learn them:
Thomas Müller’s heyday at Bayern Munich is over. Not less than that’s how Mario Basler sees it.
“I feel Thomas Müller can be on the bench subsequent yr,” mentioned the ex-pro in his podcast Basler ballert. “Bayern produce other younger gamers within the place of the veteran that the file champions need to let play there.”
However Basler warned the Munich bosses to proceed to contain the veteran: “In any other case he might be the loss of life caller within the membership.” As a result of Basler is definite that Müller has “quite a lot of energy” within the membership: “It’s a must to attempt a number of issues with him, as a result of Thomas Müller is the one who can flip off a coach’s water. If you happen to ignore him, he rapidly goes to Tegernsee.”
Rattling…that’s harsh. Anyway, let’s proceed:
What is supposed is: Müller would then complain to Honorary President Uli Hoeneß, who nonetheless has nice affect in Bayern within the background.
Basler sees Müller in a very totally different function: He’s prepared as an assistant coach. That’s why Basler advises Bayern: “You simply have to speak with him correctly earlier than he goes to Tegernsee.”
I’m not within the locker room and Müller shouldn’t be in my contact record, however what I do know is that he’s a proud veteran who has achieved many nice issues for the membership throughout his profession. If he believes that he can nonetheless play, he would possibly simply wander as much as Tegernsee, however I don’t suspect he’ll get a lot assist there as of late.
The brand new entrance workplace has to take a stand sooner or later — even when Uli Hoeneß tries to use some stress. We thought the brand new bosses would go down with the ship for Julian Nagelsmann, but it surely seems that they are surely satisfied that Thomas Tuchel is the savior for the following era on the membership. They can’t flip again now…not for any participant, even a membership legend.
Actual Madrid may very well be proposing a swap deal involving former Bayern Munich star David Alaba to Juventus for Dušan Vlahović:
Actual Madrid would possibly suggest a part-exchange deal to signal Dušan Vlahović from Serie A membership Juventus, with David Alaba going the opposite means.
In line with a report by Italian outlet Calciomercatoweb, Dušan Vlahović stays the topic of curiosity from Actual Madrid. And the reigning La Liga champions are prepared to supply a part-exchange deal to signal the Serbian striker from Serie A membership Juventus. Such an association will see 30-year-old utility man David Alaba heading the opposite means.
Vlahović is reportedly off of Bayern Munich’s switch record, however as they are saying, something can occur.
It has been one other loopy week for Bayern Munich as rumors are flying in all places and followers are typically centered on subsequent season whereas the 2022/23 squad is embroiled in a title chase.
These are clearly loopy occasions and that’s precisely why Bavarian Podcast Works is right here — to assist type via the mess like Luke Skywalker in that trash compactor throughout Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.
Per the norm, there’s a lot to speak about, so let’s get to it:
- The most recent Sadio Mane drama.
- How Lionel Messi throwing a grenade into his relationship with Paris Saint-Germain may lead FC Barcelona’s Robert Lewandowski again to Bayern Munich.
- The official nail within the coffin on that Harry Kane rumor and why I’m beginning to come round on Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic.
- A take a look at the “leaked” record of Bayern’s plans for every participant in the course of the low season.
In order for you some perception as to how critical Manchester Metropolis’s Erling Haaland is about his craft, try this quote from teammate Jack Grealish.
“Haaland’s the perfect professional I’ve ever seen. His mindset is one thing you gained’t see once more. He does every little thing. Recovers. Fitness center. 10 hours of remedy a day. Ice baths. Weight loss program. That’s why he’s what he’s. However I swear I couldn’t be like that,” mentioned Grealish. “I’m not as profitable as Haaland. He’s scored extra this season than I’ve in my entire profession. But when he did what I sometimes did he could be like: ‘F****** hell I really feel horrible in the present day’. I’ve a launch that’s totally different to this.”
Haaland is a marvel. Positive, he’s naturally gifted along with his measurement, pace, power, and total expertise, however he’s all the time working to get higher and goes to nice lengths to care for his physique.
And sure, Grealish is a celebration boy…however he’s fairly rattling good as nicely.
In order for you only one cause to be just a little hesitant about Bayern Munich’s potential pursuit of an Eintracht Frankfurt striker (Randal Kolo Muani), there appears to be a pattern the place gamers at that place for Die Adler go on to battle elsewhere.
Luka Jović and Ante Rebić (who principally performed as a part of a striker tandem in 2018/19) are a pair examples of gamers who haven’t gone on to achieve the heights that have been anticipated, whereas Sebastien Haller has been…okay. One other participant who went on to not precisely be nice after leaving Eintracht Frankfurt is André Silva, who’s out of favor at RB Leipzig.
Now, Silva desires to go away this summer time, which might be a good suggestion provided that Crimson Bull Salzburg attacker Benjamin Šeško will becoming a member of Die Roten Bullen this summer time:
Bild reviews that RB Leipzig striker André Silva desires to go away RB Leipzig in the summertime as he has develop into sad along with his sport time.
The 27-year-old has spent most of this season coming off the bench for Leipzig and when he has performed he has not reached the degrees he did at Eintracht Frankfurt the place he scored 45 objectives in 71 video games. In Silva’s two years in Leipzig, he has scored 26 objectives in 94.
The scenario is more likely to worsen for Silva as Crimson Bull Salzburg’s Benjamin Šeško is to affix Leipzig on the finish of the season. Leipzig are getting ready for the departure of Silva as new Leipzig sporting director Rouven Schröder was at Bayer Leverkusen vs Union Saint Gilloise scouting striker Victor Boniface.
At one level, Bayern Munich had curiosity in Silva. Bayern Munich wants a striker. May issues rekindle on that entrance?
Bayern Munich is winding down its 2022/23 season and is doing every little thing it probably can to proceed holding on to the league lead.
Over the weekend, Bayern Munich was unconvincing in a 2-1 win over Werder Bremen and, nicely, we’ve quite a lot of ideas on the place the workforce is popping out of that. Let’s check out what we’ve on faucet for this episode:
- Ideas on the Werder Bremen match together with Thomas Tuchel’s choices, Jamal Musiala’s current struggles, the stable displaying for Ryan Gravenberch, and why sure gamers is likely to be getting an extended look as of late.

Actual Madrid might pose a problem to Bayern Munich’s effort to ink Eintracht Frankfurt attacker Randal Kolo Muani:
Actual Madrid and Bayern Munich are chasing the signature of Eintracht Frankfurt ahead Randal Kolo Muani, who has scored 20 objectives in all competitions throughout his first season in Germany.
Furthermore, Manchester United might additionally shift its focus to Kolo Muani if it can’t safe Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane, Inter Milan’s Lautaro Martinez, or AS Roma’s Tammy Abraham (per 4 4 Two):
Manchester United have three ahead choices listed earmarked in a case deal for Tottenham striker Harry Kane is unachievable – Kolo Muani, Inter’s Lautaro Martinez and Roma’s Tammy Abraham.
West Ham United is relying on a nine-figure return on a sale of Declan Rice:
West Ham are set to demand £100m for Declan Rice this summer time.
Arsenal FC seems to be within the lead for Rice at this level, although many followers want to see Bayern Munich get entangled within the bidding. Personally, I like Rice, however not for that form of cash and I’m not within the camp that believes Bayern Munich completely wants a midfielder this summer time at this level.
Issues have been troublesome for Bayern Munich currently; not even Thomas Tuchel (regardless of his questionable selections) can deny that. Right now was yet one more day of exhausting work, grind and careless errors however Bayern gained and made it two consecutive wins — the opposition groups have been quite poor in each the video games however you possibly can solely play the fixtures the DFL units within the order they set them.
