It was not an easy first game as Bayern’s manager for Vincent Kompany. Wolfsburg defeated Munich prior to the 65th minute. Thomas Muller changed everything when he went onto the pitch and removed a piece of paper from the coach’s underwear.

Kompany’s hint helped: Bavaria won. And Thomas joked after the match that the inscription on the piece of paper had managed to smear: “Everything was already a little blurred. You know, it’s often very hot in the machine room.

Finally, the head coach laughed about the long-suffering note:

“Well, it worked! So Thomas can continue to put my notes in his underpants. A sheet of paper is the easiest way to deliver my instructions to the players. But it’s true that the scene was funny.

“Muller is an example for young players who should always believe that dreams come true. Look how many matches he played, how many he scored, how many trophies he won. Who could imagine such an outstanding career when he was just starting out? And this is far from the end of his journey.”
