Podcast.

Hi Graham's nice to hear you.

I want to start off by telling you, when I told people I was interviewing Thomas Mueller,

they said, I love Thomas Mueller. He scores so many

goals for the best teams in the world, but he moves like an ordinary person out on

the field. He looks just like me. How do you feel when people say that you move

and look like an ordinary person on the field and not a world-class football player?

Yeah, I can understand what they think, but yeah, in soccer are much more details to know to win games to be important for your teammates so they cannot

understand why this guy moving as a normal amateur maybe when you want killing,

can survive at this top level. And my biggest strength is a good position game, good movements without ball,

what my team needs from me,

and not the pure technical skills like shooting.

My shot is very good, my passing is good, but I think at this level I am playing the players maybe do it a little better

this detail skills. Yeah more than any other top player in the world in my opinion, you seem to find different ways to score with your head, with your legs, with other body parts.

You also find space in the box to do good things. How did your playing style develop through the years?

I don't know how but of course each trainer told me something different in detail and then of each trainer I had

Louis Vangal, you're in Pepcordiola. And then of each trainer I had, Louis Angar,

you're Anpagl, and Pep good yola,
