Bayern s long article pays tribute to Mueller: The textbook of running is not found, and goals sometimes violate the laws of physics

July 7th Bayern stopped in the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup. This game is also the last game Thomas Mueller played for Bayern. Bayern’s official website released a long article to pay tribute to the club’s legend.

The full text is as follows:

In Germany, it is effortless to find hundreds of people named Thomas Muller. Among the club's about 400,000 members, 90 are named Thomas Muller. Among them, one of them has been wearing Bayern's jersey for the past 25 years, excited fans, and is one of the greatest players in football history, as famous as legends such as Beckenbauer, Gad Muller, Sep Meyer, Heness, Rummeniger, and at the same time "ordinary". He is one of us.

His existence is unique, a club legend, and a Bayern flag. His way of running is not found in any textbook, and his goals sometimes seem to violate the laws of physics. Muller has never been a football prodigy like Messi, nor is he as pure as Ronaldo. But on the court, the reason why he is special is his ultimate efficiency.

Thomas Mueller has won the triple-champ twice, is the world champion, and has won the championship 13 times - because he can always send the ball to the goal, even using any part of his body when necessary. This endless ambition and absolute will to win not only infected every teammate, but also ultimately led the entire team.

Born in Weilheim and raised in Parr on Lake Amher, Muller brings a trait that almost disappeared in modern football: reality. Mueller never pretends to be himself, he is what he is: simple, direct, humorous, occasionally refutes, but always sincere. This Bavarian enthusiasm, wit and charm can both let people down and refresh.

He is a fully devoted person who is not only loved by Bayern, but also popular elsewhere in Germany, because he represents family-like warmth, down-to-earth humor and unconditional sense of identity. "Miasanmia", these values ​​are also the cornerstone of his Bayern club.

Muller has never been the fastest one, nor has he ever had the most delicate footwork. He would not pass his opponent with three fake moves, but his honor cabinet is filled with various trophies. Rummenigge once exclaimed: "Thomas has brought all his abilities to the extreme." The coach who discovered Mueller said: "No one can foresee that Mueller's career will be so brilliant. If someone said he had expected it, he must be lying."

Muller is a perfect combination of instinct, wisdom and endless will. No matter how tense the situation is, he can always maintain a real ease and pleasure. This trait has inspired him to move forward repeatedly in major games. He always seems to know where the ball will go before it realizes himself, and he has a strong intuition and lightning judgment on the situation in the penalty area.

As a keen shooter, Mueller stands out with his understanding of the game, extensive experience and courage to rush into dangerous areas. He can discover and use the space that others cannot see. Former German coach Loew once commented on him: "If Messi is a magician, then Thomas is the magic hat: you never know what surprise will pop up inside."

In the heavy rain in Milan, Muller completed his 163rd Champions League match for Bayern, tying Messi's record. In front of him, there were only Ronaldo in 183 games and Casillas in 177 games. Guardiola once said that Thomas Mueller represents a rare quality in today's football world: other shooters will run to the fans or celebrate after scoring, while Mueller runs to his teammates to hug them.

Muller never sees himself more important than the game. He can ridicule himself and speaks as direct, natural and efficient as his style of playing football. He showed us: You don’t have to be a talented player since childhood, as long as you have the heart, mind and firm will, you can achieve all goals. In an era when some professional players seem dispensable, Mueller is a unique existence.

Thomas Mueller became a legend not only because of his elusive and extraordinary skills, but also because he always maintained his true nature. He shows us that great dreams can come from small villages and achieve them by character, diligence, meticulousness and willpower. Thank you for playing for Bayern Munich for 25 years, Thomas Mueller.
