‘Too busy winning trophies’: Dier shares funny Müller story | OneFootball

Former Bayern defender Eric Dier revealed an amusing story from his time in Munich after his move to AS Monaco. In the podcast Fozcast – The Ben Foster Podcast, he reported on a typical Thomas Müller moment at Säbener Straße.

Dier described a conversation he overheard between Müller and coach Vincent Kompany. "The facilities at Säbener Straße aren't that great. And one day, Müller had a conversation with Kompany that I heard directly behind them. Kompany asked: Have the facilities here always been so bad? Thomas replied: 'We were too busy winning titles, we never paid attention to the facilities...!'"

Kompany confirms the story

The anecdote didn't go unremarked for long. At the press conference before the cup match against Wehen Wiesbaden, Bayern coach Vincent Kompany confirmed the episode: "I can confirm this conversation. That was, of course, a real Thomas Müller answer. Within a second and a half, he already had the answer ready... it was a funny conversation."

The Belgian emphasized at the same time that the infrastructure has since been improved: "That was a year ago, since then we've invested a lot. Thomas said that, but he also helped a lot to get it moving in the right direction."

Improvements at Säbener Straße

Kompany made it clear that Bayern have long been working on the training conditions: "It's better now than it was before, that's positive. And if we can get even better, we'll try."
