Thomas Müller becomes clear after FC Bayern's defeat against Werder Bremen.
The world champion has a lot to complain about with Munich's game.
Munich – That was nothing in the Allianz Arena this time: FC Bayern unexpectedly lost against Werder Bremen (0-1) and is slowly but surely under pressure in the Bundesliga with a view to the championship.
FC Bayern loses against Werder Bremen: Thomas Müller becomes clear
Due to Munich's defeat (41 points), league leaders Bayer Leverkusen (48 points) are within seven points.
The German record champions can do better in the catch-up game against Union Berlin on Wednesday evening (8.30 p.m., here in the live ticker).
Nevertheless: The bankruptcy against the Hanseatic League is a clear setback.
Which is why, among other things, Thomas Müller at DAZN became clear afterwards.
The world champion criticized the entire FC Bayern team for a “sluggish performance” and poor body language.
“We were far too sluggish and lifeless,” said the 34-year-old attacker.

Thomas Müller: Bayern star saw “not enough fire” against Bremen
Joshua Kimmich, Leroy Sané, Harry Kane – all of the top performers fell far short of their potential against the courageous running of the Hanseatic League.
“There was simply not enough fire,” said Müller: “We begged for it a bit.” What he was possibly alluding to: when the former Munich player Mitchell Weiser conceded a goal (59th minute), there was a lot of resistance throughout Bayern’s defense small amount.
“Bremen put everything into it,” said Müller logically.
Even with the first supposed goal conceded by the young striker Justin Njinmah (25th), “we didn't behave well either,” explained the world champion and said that every player “has to question themselves.
That was a big slap in the face for us."
The Upper Bavarian demanded: “Everyone has to try to push their teammate.
Not with blah blah, but with body language and decisive actions.” Müller wasn’t the only one who was very critical after the bankruptcy.
Defeat against Werder Bremen: Joshua Kimmich and Thomas Tuchel are served
Joshua Kimmich criticized his colleagues for a passive appearance, “when you see the way we lost today,” said the 28-year-old Swabian in the mixed zone of the stadium.
“You could tell that the people of Bremen were hungrier than us.
And that must not happen to us at this stage.
You have to question the approach.
You could see throughout the game that we were too static.
You don't get the feeling that we know what's at stake," said the national player: "Especially now with the situation in the table, it's incredibly important for us to win every game.
And we have to broadcast that too.”

Thomas Tuchel was also served.
The Bayern coach complained: “We didn’t play for 70 minutes like a team that wants to play for the championship.
We did this for 20 minutes.
We were sloppy both in structure and in defensive duels.” Bayern have to do better on Wednesday.
Otherwise, the pressure in the championship fight becomes very high very quickly early in the year.
