Bayern: Rekord-Müller delivers on - did the prominent grandstand guest in Cologne see that too?

Bayern star Thomas Müller has just set a record - that should not have escaped the prominent grandstand guest in Cologne.

• After their 4-1 win in Cologne, FC Bayern Munich are still at the top of the table.
• Thomas Müller has now set his own best.
• Hansi Flick has a large part in this.

Munich - The occupation of the grandstand usually has little or no influence on the performance of a soccer player on the pitch, a grandstand guest on Sunday in Cologne's Rund around might not have been quite as uninteresting, especially from the perspective of Thomas Müller . We're talking about Marcus Sorg , assistant coach of Joachim Löw and thus also an ally of the Müller-Verbanners from the DFB . And what Sorg (and thus Löw) saw in this way speaks once again against said spell.

Bayern Munich: Thomas Müller with record

The reason: Müller shone. This time not as a goal scorer, like nine times this season, but as a template provider. Nothing new in a season in which the no longer international has now even set a record thanks to his two assists in Cologne. Müller has already prepared 14 goals in 22 league games, such a value has never been seen since the start of detailed data collection in the 04/05 season. He even acted as a template provider 17 times across all competitions, thereby achieving 26 scorer points.

Values ​​that are not hidden from his teammates. “Thomas always has an eye for the teammate, that is known. And he can put the players in good positions. He has the right nose and knows how to make a decision, ”said Manuel Neuer after the final whistle in Cologne. Hansi Flick also has a large share in the Muller Festival. There are 15 goal appearances in the past twelve league games - exactly those twelve games with Flick as head coach.

Thomas Müller (FC Bayern Munich): "I'm trying ..."

Müller himself took it relaxed as usual. "I try to be a cog in our functioning system," said the 30-year-old after the game in the interview zone of the Cologne stadium. “It is well known that I have an eye for the person next to me. But I would also have liked to have scored myself. ”The 2014 world champion came to the end twice in front of FC goalkeeper Timo Horn in a promising position, but failed.

In view of his current figures, this should only disturb him marginally. The fact is: With the 14 league assists, Müller even set his own best. In season 17/18, Müller put on 13 goals in 29 league games. It could have been even more on Sunday, after all, the original Bavarian put on seven shots on goal by his team. The best miller ever? The numbers speak a clear language. Whether the Löw sees it that way is another story ...
