In this year’s World Cup, Germany had to be eliminated from the group stage. The four-time world champions could not make it to the second round in a battle of equality with 4 points from one win and one draw. With this, the team could not qualify for the knockout game in two consecutive World Cups. And so, Thomas Muller saw the end of his career.
There will surely be many changes in the German team after the World Cup. Müller himself is doubtful whether he will get a chance to play in the country’s jersey again. But his achievement for the country is also excellent. He scored 44 goals in a career of 121 matches. This forward’s career also has happy memories like winning the World Cup for the country. However, this year’s World Cup has brought disappointment for Muller like the last World Cup.
In an interview after the World Cup ended, the star said, “Maybe this is my last World Cup. We enjoyed every match, every moment together. Every game we played with heart on the field. Everything was done with love. Sometimes tears are of joy, sometimes of pain. Now I have to think of something else. Thank you all for your support.”
However, despite the team’s lack of success in the last two World Cups, overall Muller’s World Cup record is worth remembering. From 2010 to 2022, he played a total of four World Cups. Where he scored 10 goals. He also won the award for the best emerging footballer of the tournament after showing his best success in the 2010 World Cup.
Müller also made an important contribution to winning the World Cup in 2014. But he could not finish his last two World Cups at all. Mueller would like to forget the memory of Russia and Qatar. The failure of the party is accompanied by its own failure. Maybe he will not be seen again in the next World Cup. On the other hand, rumors have started that Muller may retire from football due to the failure of the World Cup.
