Thomas Mller listed amongst greatest ever

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo might well go down as the greatest players in history, but Hansi Flick said Thomas Mller is worthy of his own place in the annals.Mller has won virtually everything there is to win for Bayern Munich and Germany since bursting onto the scene in 2008, including a record 10 Bundesliga titles and the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The 31-year-old has produced 214 goals and 218 assists across 581 appearances at club level, despite being neither pure centre-forward, second striker, attacking neither midfielder nor winger.In Mllers own words, hes a Raumdeuter (a space interpreter)someone who exploits space in the same way Messi uses his left foot, or Ronaldo his athleticism to outwit opposition defenders.According to FlickBayerns 2020 sextuple-winning head coach and Germanys 2014 World Cup-winning assistanthes a phenomenon.Read Also:Lewandowski crowned Bundesliga Players bestThomas doesnt always do everything right in the game, but he gives you a lot more to be excited about than not, the 56-year-old told Bayern members magazine, 51.There are times when he goes out to the corner, where he shouldnt be, loses the ball and a counter-attack comes out of it. I almost had to laugh and had the feeling that he was doing it on purpose, to annoy me a bit and to get the adrenaline pumping again.You cant always grasp his playing style, but you cant quantify what he brings to the team and the club either. Hes always positive, has the energy levels of an 18-year-old and spurs on all the players.You can only take your hat off to what he has achieved in his careerits unique. There will never be anyone like him.
