On August 17, in the first round of the German Cup, Bayern Munich advanced with a 4-0 victory over Ulm. In this match, Mueller contributed two goals and one assist, becoming the biggest contributor to Bayern’s advancement.
After the game, Mueller commented, “We were very serious on the field; of course, this doesn’t mean there were no mistakes. The team is working hard to demonstrate the results of our training over the past few weeks on the pitch. My physical condition is good, and I felt great on the field, completing what was expected of me, and I am satisfied with my performance. If you look at our off-the-ball training and the way we contest for ball possession, you’ll notice that we are significantly stronger in these aspects than last season. I am satisfied with the team’s performance, although there is still room for improvement.”
In the previous season, Bayern failed to win any titles in the Bundesliga, UEFA Champions League, German Cup, and German Super Cup. This season, Bayern is eager to turn things around and reclaim their dominant position in the Bundesliga. A four-goal victory in the opening match is also a good start for Bayern.
