My qualities not in demand at Bayern, says Muller
Bayern, Aug 27 (IANS) After not being able to start for Bayern Munich in the last match against SV Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga football championship, a disappointed veteran German forward Thomas Muller on Sunday said his qualities were not in demand.
“I don’t know exactly which qualities the coach wants to see, but mine seems not to be 100 percent in demand,” Muller, who appeared as 73rd minute substitute in Bayern’s 2-0 win over Bremen, was quoted as saying by Fox Sports.
However, the German football champions coach Carlo Ancelotti clarified picking up Spanish midfielder Thiago Alcantara ahead of Muller was a part of the tactics and it has nothing to be with form.
“We tried to play the game using the wide areas more and to have more possession in the middle, for this reason, Thomas didn’t start the game. He went in during the second part of the game and did well. It was only a technical decision,” the former Real Madrid coach said.
Muller has made 259 appearances for Bayern Munich since 2008 helping the club win the Bundesliga title six times.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
