Premier League stars are flogged like mules according Bayern's Thomas Mueller
Posted Sunday, February 23, 2014 by Dailystar.co.uk
BAYERN MUNICH star Thomas Mueller has written off English clubs chances in Europe, saying: You play TOO MUCH.
HE’S CREAM CRACKERED: Ozil shows the strain
His straight-to-the point verdict comes at the end of a bad week when Arsenal and Manchester City both lost Champions League matches to Bayern Munich and Barcelona respectively.
In Germany and Spain the top clubs enjoy a mid-winter break while in England clubs carry on regardless – with Arsenal’s German ace Mesut Ozil looking KNACKERED in recent weeks.
Mueller, one of the Bayern scorers against Arsenal and a close friend of Ozil, said: “It’s not easy for Mesut because you have to play so many games – I don’t know how many games he has played for Arsenal without having a break.
YOU WORK TOO HARD: Bayern star Thomas Mueller thinks Premier League stars need a winter break
“In the Bundesliga we have just had a month off.
“In England it’s very hard to be a professional footballer.
“You have many more games than we do in Germany. But I hope Mesut has good games for Arsenal because he is a friend of mine and I know how good he can be.”
Mueller also believes the sheer number of games English clubs play is a massive drawback when it comes to the big summer tournaments, like the Brazil 2014 World Cup.
“When England get to World Cups they look a bit tired,” he added.
“The body can recover but the head’s a another story."
