Thomas Müller is currently explaining the bitter defeat against Bremen - before there is a loud interruption.
Munich - The game against Werder Bremen really had enough potential for frustration for Thomas Müller: First, the original Bavarian had to sit on the bench again - and watch his colleagues play 65 extremely poor minutes while being bundled up.

Thomas Müller has to explain Sané Tuchel's instructions
Then he was finally allowed to go.
But on the pitch, what was initially needed was less his footballing quality and more his communicative quality.
Shortly after being substituted, he first had to explain to the stubborn Leroy Sané the new role that Thomas Tuchel had intended for him as part of the switch to a three-man chain.
The left-footer didn't agree with this at all and reacted with derogatory gestures.
With Müller on the field, Bayern got better - and developed more power towards the goal.
But the ball didn't want to go behind the line.
It remained a bitter 0-1, which Tuchel rightly described after the game as a “big setback”.
After all, leaders Bayer Leverkusen are now seven points away (with one game more).

Lethargic FC Bayern loses at home against Bremen – “Too little life in it”
The mood was correspondingly bad.
In the TV interview after the final whistle, Müller reprimanded his colleagues.
When he answered questions from journalists in the mixed zone, he seemed like the FCB team on the pitch: tired, sluggish and with little fire.

“There wasn’t enough life in it,” he criticized his team’s performance.
“It was only after 70 minutes that we realized that we had a lot to lose here,” he stated.
Once again, the Bayern team showed the discrepancy, which Tuchel had already discussed several times, between good training performance and a strangely uninspired appearance in the game.
Bayern phenomenon leaves Thomas Müller perplexed – Schlager hit finishes him off
Müller is also perplexed by this phenomenon: "Actually, I only know it the other way around: we don't like to train, but we're keen on the game." Suddenly Müller stops his remarks as Werder defender Niklas Stark is in a great mood with Malle music blaring loudly around him Corner bends.
The party hit “Dicht im Flieger” is ultimately too much of a good thing for Müller – he breaks off the interview.
With a pained smile, he sighs over his shoulder: “Now you realize: it
(the victory, editor's note
) was important to them.” A sentence that his teammates can easily take as a dig.
