Kovac's latest comments increased the tensions after he said Mueller would get its playing minutes "when there is need." The coach might have chosen misleading words but in the end, triggered off further unrest. Mueller reports a crisis-meeting between coach and him has taken place.

Mueller said he didn't expect to lose his place in the line-up to that extent as things worked out well last season, scoring nine goals and delivering 16 assists. Now Mueller is complaining about a negative trend.

German international Joshua Kimmich appears like the spearhead of a pro-Mueller fraction calling him "the biggest identification figure since Bastian Schweinsteiger and Philipp Lahm." It is near impossible to think of Bayern without the Bavarian original, the 23-year-old commented praising Mueller's uNPRedictability.

Mueller, joining Bayern at the age of ten, is one of the rare performers making their way from youth teams to the professional squad. Currently, he is only accompanied by left-back David Alaba.

Mueller is Bayern's great joker and known as an influential factor when it comes to the team's general atmosphere. Fans and teammates regard him as irreplaceable.

Mueller and his wife run a horse stable near Munich and seem to have dropped anchor for life. Mueller might speculate for a pay-rise and is demanding more attention by Kovac.

The forward might take into consideration if Kovac is going to survive as Bayern coach longer than the end of this season. That will highly depend on the success achieved on the international stage. Many say Mueller is a vital factor when crunch-time is approaching in the Champions League next spring.
