Louis van Gaal is not kind of a manager who easily gives up on any player of his choice that is why despite continuous refusal from hosts of sides, Dutchman tries untired. Bayern Munich duos Thomas Muller and Mario Gotze are two such players who have recently been in the news for their apparent aspire towards the league giant even though they never revealed anything in public. Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has now clearly refused to entertain any offer from the Manchester side – no matter what the price tag may be. Actually, he believes there is no price which can justify players like Muller or Gotze and as far Gotze is concerned, his transfer rumors could be powered by lack of his presence in the first team last year and for that reason he could have reportedly been in touch with number of sides including Red Devils and Juventus but Rummenigge is determined to retain their players in the side. Rummenigge talked about them during a press meet at PR event in Munich on Thursday where he said, “Louis van Gaal is very stubborn, but there is no price for Thomas Muller. He has informed the club that he wants to stay, and wants to assert himself here. If there’s no new initiative from him, it’s the end of this story.”
Team coach Pep Guardiola also copied his boss statement and explained his team’s composition in upcoming season along with other players, he said, “I have known it for two, three weeks. Thomas will stay, and Mario will stay. He was our best player against Barcelona, the best fighter. Everything. But Xabi needs midfielders who pass the ball back to him. We had players who chase the ball, who run. I don’t doubt Xabi’s qualities. He needs a full squad. I want the best for Xabi.
“I want the best for the team. That’s sometimes because of the opponent, or sometimes it’s how well they have trained, or how they got along with their teammates. Yes. When someone does not feature in the last game, and trains well, then they have a chance. It’s always about what is best for the team. I sometimes make many mistakes, and sometimes fewer mistakes, but I always play with the players I consider best for the team at that point. They all deserve to play. They all trained well, and when they don’t train well, they are not good for this club.”
