In Bayern Munich’s 2-0 win over Freiburg, Thomas Müller got here off the bench and scored a objective to cap off his 710th look for the membership in all competitions. Among the numerous people who congratulated Thomas on this monumental achievement is none apart from his former accomplice in crime Robert Lewandowski. Here is what he mentioned (Bayern’s web site by way of @iMiaSanMia):

Thomas was fascinating in some ways as an attacking accomplice. He’s the right multitasker. He speaks virtually your entire recreation and offers instructions. But that by no means distracted him from discovering the optimum free house for himself. I’ve solely seen that with him; he’s totally dedicated to the staff. And though he talks a lot, we nonetheless understood one another with out phrases within the decisive moments; that’s one other factor I actually appreciated about Thomas: one look, one motion, and the opposite is aware of precisely what’s about to occur.

When I take into consideration our relationship, two phrases come to thoughts: distinctive and trustworthy. He’s the sort of teammate you might solely want for, who can also be blissful for his teammates from the underside of his coronary heart. I can nonetheless bear in mind the unimaginable recreation once I scored 5 targets in 9 minutes in opposition to Wolfsburg. When the sport was over, I hadn’t even realized what had simply occurred. Then Thomas got here to me and mentioned: “You have just achieved something unique, people will still be talking about it in 20 years. Please enjoy it and let people celebrate you”, after which he pushed me in direction of the followers within the Südkurve.

Speaking of celebrations: He also can give it his all and set the tone. We celebrated one among his birthdays collectively in “H’ugo’s” and that night was positively one among my finest “Müller moments”. I hope that Thomas’s intelligence and data will change into the inspiration of his favorite membership after his retirement. Because I’m sure: FC Bayern is the way forward for Thomas Müller – and Thomas Müller is the way forward for FC Bayern”.
