‘Angry’ Mueller blasts Loew for ‘bad taste’ Germany axe vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Thomas Mueller on Wednesday said he was “angry” over Joachim Loew’s “bad taste” decision to axe him and Bayern Munich teammates Jerome Boateng and Mats Hummels from the Germany squad.National coach Loew flew to Munich on Tuesday to tell Mueller, 29, Boateng and Hummels, both 30, that their international careers are over.“The more I think about it, the more the way it was done, makes me angry,” said Mueller in a two-minute video message posted on his social networks.
Earlier Wednesday, Bayern chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said he was “irritated” that Loew dropped the bombshell on Tuesday — a week before the crunch Champions League home game against Liverpool and in the midst of the Bundesliga title race.“We consider the timing and circumstances of the announcement, both to the players and public, as questionable”, wrote Rummenigge in a joint statement with sport director Hasan Salihamidzic.
The 59-year-old Germany boss has been under pressure to make sweeping changes since his side crashed out of the 2018 World Cup in the first round.Mueller, Boateng and Hummels were at the core of the side which won the 2014 World Cup, but the trio were off form during poor displays by the entire team in Russia last year.
Former Bayern and Germany midfielders Lothar Matthaeus and Stefan Effenberg have also questioned Loew’s timing.
