All eyes on the CWC because the Raumdeuter deserves a proper sendoff.
With Thomas Müller’s tenure at Bayern Munich coming to a close very soon, the attention is towards all the titles he can bag with the club before his departure. Müller’s legacy at the club is unforgettable — he has played a pivotal role in the club’s history. The trophies play testament — he is the second most decorated German player with 33 trophies after Toni Kroos. This statistic is however subject to change, with Kroos’ retirement last year after bagging 34 trophies.
However to Müller, titles do not mean everything. Per FIFA and @iMiaSanMia, he spoke on the upcoming Club World Cup. “It’s not about titles. The title is just the piece of metal you get when you win the competition. But that’s not what makes you happy,” he stated.
Further elaborating, he said that the journey matters more. “The journey there is what excites me. It’s about constantly taking on the pressure, both physically and competitively – and winning,” he said.
Looks like the Raumdeuter still enjoys winning but he just wants to do it in style.
He explained his excitement about this tournament. “The attraction [of the competition], of course, is that it’s a World Cup. In this format, it feels a bit more like a World Cup,” he described.
It goes without being said that all eyes will be on the CWC as it will be one last dance. For, the most unbelievable statement is now the truth — Thomas Müller will be playing his last game at Bayern Munich at the age of 35 years. The same age where the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Yann Sommer, Manuel Neuer, Robert Lewandowski and Luka Modric were considered to still play at near-full capacity. Hell, they all bagged trophies at this age. One can only wonder what could have been, for it is only possible for us to enjoy the little time we have left with our own one club man.
