Thomas Müller gave a detailed look at Florian Wirtz’s career choice. In an interview with the German daily South German Zeitungthe former Bayern Munich executive believes that the German international would undoubtedly have benefited from a more favorable sporting context by joining the Bavarian club. “Sportingly, it would probably be easier for him at Bayern”analyzes Müller, evoking a perfectly structured environment to support high-level German players.
But the Munich legend immediately qualifies his remarks by emphasizing the media weight specific to Bayern. According to him, the constant exposure and daily pressure make the situation much more complex when performance does not keep up. A factor which may have weighed in Wirtz’s decision to opt for Liverpool, a prestigious club, but where the attention around foreign players remains, according to Müller, less overwhelming than in Munich.
