Thomas Müller: I don't see any natural mechanism that could slow Bayern down

FC Bayern's Thomas Müller spoke to the club's magazine about the future of his team.

Recently it's been said the league will only be exciting if FC Bayern have a car crash - Thomas Müller won't be doing any favours behind the wheel...
"I'm not the only one behind the wheel, but the answer is of course: no way! As competitive athletes, we're always very motivated - and we at FC Bayern are punished in public if we 'only' win 3-0. The expectations here are so high they spur you on all the time.

I don't see any natural mechanism that could slow us down. In the coming years, I assume FC Bayern will always get between 75 and 85 points each season. That means if another team wants to become champions, they have to be able to beat that score. We will not drop in quality. We have a working power steering, and I'm the lane keeping assist Müller."

What's it like being the face of FC Bayern?
"I have to disagree. I am one face among many! Of course, my face is often portrayed in public because it suits the club well in terms of sport and the Bavarian man. But we have so many great personalities at Bayern, I don't see myself as being special, because that's just not true. But it's clear I'm happy to stand for everything FC Bayern stands for."
