What will become of Thomas Müller?

Yes, because Müller has something ahead of all attacking players

Hansi Flick has put together an exciting squad for the World Cup. And many are now looking forward to the youngsters Jamal Musiala and Youssoufa Moukoko. But no one knows whether they can consistently perform their current top performances from the Bundesliga on the big stage. It’s different with Thomas Müller. Flick knows exactly what he has in him. Müller is 33 years old, extremely experienced, dangerous and feared by defenses around the world. This not only puts him a little ahead of Musiala or Moukoko, but all other offensive players in the German squad. And that’s why he has to be in the starting eleven at the World Cup.

After Mats Hummels was not nominated, Flick urgently needs leading players in his starting lineup anyway. Müller is someone who always gives his all, intervenes in tricky situations, puts himself in front of his teammates in TV interviews, but also speaks up clearly when something doesn’t suit him. It’s rare, but it’s very important for a team.

There is another Müller advantage: It can be used extremely flexibly. He can play on the outside, as a hanging striker or in the center of the attack. In addition, he is not at all vain, but simply plays where the coach puts him. It’s very clear: Flick can’t get past Müller at all in this tournament.
