"Müller doesn't play against Manchester because maybe he's too slow.
Then Müller doesn't play against Hertha because it might not be his game.
Now Müller isn't playing against a team that's in secure midfield.
When does he play if not today?” asked the German record international in the analysis before the game.
Thomas Müller: Lothar Matthäus sees problems with coach Thomas Tuchel
"I think there will be problems between Thomas Müller and Thomas Tuchel.
Thomas wants to play in the last two or three years of his career.
He can't be satisfied with this situation," said Matthäus on the
Sky
microphone: "I'm surprised that he's not there from the start again." No Müller in the starting XI?
Why?
"That's the question I'm asking myself.
That is the crucial question.
If so, it must be the Müller game today," said
Sky
commentator Wolff-Christoph Fuss.
Bayern coach Tuchel also justified
his decision against Müller in the starting eleven at
Sky .
“Everything is Thomas Müller games.
I'm a big fan of Thomas," said the 49-year-old coach.
"We have a few decisions to make.
Thomas can always start for us.
The broad positions with King (
Kingsley Coman, ed.
) and Serge (
Gnabry
) are not really his positions,” explained Tuchel.
Now Müller isn't playing against a team that's in secure midfield.
When is he playing if not today?

Müller on the bench is "a tough decision, but Bayern Munich has it," said Tuchel and said: "Of course he doesn't like it.
I know what I have in him.
Everything is fine.” How will things continue for Müller at Bayern?
Before the Bremen game, Matthäus had even brought a possible departure of the club idol into the debate in the summer.

Thomas Müller: departure from FC Bayern in the summer a scenario?
"If you do an analysis after the season and the coach explains to both the team and those responsible what he wants and imagines for the coming season, it would surprise me if Müller suddenly became a regular player again," wrote the TV Expert in his Sky column: "And then the point has probably been reached where he at least takes a very close look at the transfer market, not to say goes.
Because he doesn't do that."
