Thomas Muller sets Bayern Munich target for next season

Bayern Munich forward Thomas Muller targets Bundesliga and champions league glory for the new season.

Munich, August 1: Bayern Munich superstar Thomas Muller has welcomed the capture of James Rodriguez and Corentin Tolisso by the German champions and has insisted that the two new signings can help Bayern to achieve their goals next season.

Bayern Munich managed to retain their Bundesliga title convincingly in their first season under Carlo Ancelotti but the Italian boss still made a number of big signings this summer to make the Bavarians compete on all fronts.

Thomas Muller has insisted that he will enjoy the competition for places with the arrivals of James Rodriguez and Corentin Tolisso as he views them as colleagues, not as competitors.

The World Cup winner had a disappointing season last time out compared to his usual standards and many see James as his replacement in the starting XI but Muller is not worried about it at all.

The 27-year-old has admitted that the extra quality will be useful when chasing down major honours and insists he has no qualms over the role he will play.

He told the media: “It doesn't matter to me if I'm the goalscorer or the playmaker. I want to help the team but I think the expectations are very high. So I need to score goals so that people are satisfied.

“Normally Bayern want to win everything we play. So it's not about titles in the future but it's all about being the best in every game and every training session and every competition. We want to win everything."

“It's always something in between. I think both players are very good. They are both good characters. We've spent the last week together so we can look out for each other and have fun.

“On the pitch, they are both very important and have good qualities. They show it in every training session. So it's more play together than a competition with each other."
