The 33-year-old striker immediately shone with the opening goal of goalkeeper Alexander Schwolow, from a classy cushion after a teammate’s back pass.
Mueller played the entire match against Schalke and proved to coach Thomas Tuchel that he is still very important to Bayern. This old general is the player who launched the most shots towards the opponent’s goal with 7 attempts to shoot, including 3 times the ball hit the target. Besides, the German star also had at least 2 delicious passes to his teammates, but were unfortunately missed.
In an interview with Bild after the “Gray Lobster” great victory over Schalke, Mueller excitedly said: “I am happy to have scored a goal to break the deadlock for the home team in this match. The feeling is fantastic. I will work harder to help Bayern finish with the Bundesliga title in 2022/23. You have no idea how much I love this team. My heart is the red color of the Bayern Munich shirt.”
Previously, there were rumors that Mueller began to feel bored when he was repeatedly banished by Mr. Tuchel on the bench recently, and intended to find a new destination in the summer transfer window this year. After this rumor appeared, a few teams from Saudi Arabia and the US immediately made a statement that they wanted to sign the German player.
