Ball – Departure of Muller and Lewandowski: “We don’t know what to expect without a player who scored between 30 and 50 goals” (Bayern Munich)

Bayern resisted as best they could, but Lewandowski left Bavaria and signed for Barcelona. The departure of the Poland international leaves much to be desired: Muller has no problem facing him.

“All parties decided that Lewandowski should leave the club. There were reasons for that. But of course we do not know what to expect when a player who has always scored between 30 and 50 goals per season is not on the field.”

Muller emphasized the good understanding he had with the reinforcement now The Blaugranaof which he was a teammate for eight…very titled seasons.

“Leo and I had a great and special bond on the pitch. It was something that developed, and it didn’t come as soon as he arrived from Dortmund. In the end, we understood each other with our eyes closed, and we had a good sense of where the other was and how it was,” he told the German newspaper.

Without the usual partner in attack, the Munich ace signals a new era. “We wouldn’t play with 10 just because Lewis left. Of course a lot of balls were going to him. Now there will be chances for the other players. Our goal shouldn’t be to sit here and then, at the end of half a year, we continue to say we have a problem”, club officials warned.

In this sense, Sadio Mane signed from Liverpool. “To form a duo with him like you did with Lewandowski? Things might be very good between us, but it’s still too early to say. Sadio is a good person who smiles a lot and is very successful. Feel comfortable with us, you’ve been to Salzburg and got to know the area. He’s a player in absolutely fine shape. I will say this: If I played for several years with Jurgen Klopp, we can assume that the high pressure and the pressure on the back are phrases that you have certainly heard”, concluded Muller.
