After reviewing the summary video of the match against Union Berlin, Thomas Muller exclaimed many times because of the opportunities he and his teammates missed.
The German striker joked that he and his junior Alphonso Davies could be given a few more matches off by Julian Nagelsmann to study more shooting, thereby finishing more accurately.
The missed many opportunities were perhaps Bayern's only minus point in last weekend's destructive victory over Union Berlin in the Bundesliga.
Famous sports magazine 11 friends, Bayern will then dominate the Bundesliga in the familiar way: With just one press of the button, all the hopes and dreams of all the remaining opponents will be lost in a cloud of smoke.
In fact, the away team Union Berlin, when visiting the Allianz Arena, is not in the best physical condition when they have to play 4 matches in 10 days. Meanwhile, Bayern had a week off before the match.
However, that did not make the "Gray Tigers" victory underrated. During his break, Nagelsmann shared that the team often met to discuss and remind themselves of what is important and what needs to be strived for at the current stage.
Perhaps Nagelsmann will finally make a decision on the team's starting lineup from now until the end of the season, which is 4-2-3-1. In this formation, Muller was returned to the top position in midfield, playing right after Eric Maxin Choupo-Moting.
On the right wing, the support of defender Josip Stanisic has helped Kingsley Coman become more free. Davies played right behind Jamal Musiala on the left wing, causing the pressure to be pushed evenly on both sides.
Maybe Muller is no longer as agile as before, Nagelsmann always prefers fast, strong players, but the case of the German striker is very special. Despite his age, Muller's concentration, leadership and enthusiasm have never declined.
After the match, Muller himself warned that Bayern should have more such performances from now until the end of the season. It was also a message to Nagelsmann that this formation and playing style are fine and should be promoted. Of course, Muller remains the centre of the squad, at least for now and for the end of the season.
The Bundesliga championship race this season is still not open to group separation as all 4 leading teams still have a chance to win the championship, even losing each other's positions after only 1-2 rounds. However, once Bayern have returned and focused on each match, it is difficult for the remaining 3 opponents to overcome.
The common point of the 4 top teams in the tournament is to stretch their efforts throughout the European arena. At the most severe stage, the thickness and depth of the "Gray Tigers" formation will be effective.
