Criticism of ex-national coach Jogi Löw? FCB star Müller draws a particularly bitter EM conclusion

Thomas Müller was nominated for the national team by national coach Joachim Löw especially for the EM 2021.

The FCB star's EM conclusion is bitter.

Munich - Thomas Müller * is known for clear and open words.

At FC Bayern, the 31-year-old often speaks plain text after the game when things don't go so well - which, admittedly, rarely happens with the German record champions.

But it looks different with the DFB team!

Therefore, Müller spoke up just a week after leaving the European Football Championship *.

"We had big plans before the tournament," said the offensive player in his newsletter: "The team I came across had the quality, the will and the work ethic to reconnect with old successes."

FCB star with a bitter EM conclusion

The original Bavarian was called back to the national team together with Mats Hummels shortly before the European Championship * after national coach Joachim Löw * had sorted out the two and Jérôme Boateng at the beginning of 2019.

There was no more space for Boateng in the EM squad.

“As a team, we wanted to achieve zero in the back and improve significantly in the standard situation.

So far, so good, ”continues Müller and then draws a bitter European Championship conclusion:“ In the end, we only won one game out of four matches.

We lacked the necessary effectiveness at both ends of the square.

With our endeavor to remain without conceding a goal through a rather wait-and-see, compact defensive strategy, we have de facto failed. "

Boom!

Can you understand that as a criticism of Löw's tactics?

About the end against England Müller writes: “The game against England was Spitz on the button.

Both teams have almost neutralized each other with their five-man chains.

When the game goes like this, the one who scores the first goal often wins. "

"Have de facto failed"

Müller himself had the mega-chance to equalize after the 1-0 win by Raheem Sterling in the 82nd minute.

But he pushed the ball freestanding past the Three Lions box.

"And then I had this much-quoted moment in the 82nd minute at Wembley to turn everything upside down again," he writes: "Who knows what would have happened afterwards ... that was extremely bitter."

Müller is particularly annoyed “that we didn't manage to bring back the enthusiasm of the fans for the national team to a greater extent because of the early departure and the appearance”.

You have "great players, but there is still a lot of homework to do," said the 106-time national player.

Müller wrote nothing about a possible future in the DFB team.

From August the national coach will be called Hansi Flick, under him Müller flourished again at Bayern.

It is quite possible that Flick will continue to rely on the services of the veteran.

Meanwhile, a DFB newcomer recently described the first minutes after the EM-Out in the cabin.
