WHY Thomas Müller is the world's most underrated player | THE RAUMDEUTER
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- Thomas Müller is one of the most unique players in world football. He’s so special, they had to invent a position just for him: the Raumdeuter. He’s also one of the few footballers who’s clearly not afraid to be himself. For all his goofball antics, and his hard-to-define style of play, plenty of people forget just how good he is. But the World Cup and Champions League winner isn’t just one of modern football’s most unique attackers, he’s clearly one of its best. Is he also the most underrated out there? Tell us what you think...

"Thomas Müller can’t beat you with his close ball control. He can’t beat you with his pace. And he can’t beat you with his dribbling skills. He just beats you"-Uli Hesse
Very well said 😂
...with his mind
ohh nice one, very well said
Who the fuck is Uli Hesse? Do you mean Uli Hoeneß?
One of the most iconic statements on a player :D
Thomas Müller will be a top-tier coach one day, that's for sure.
him getting angry in bavarian...legendary😂
Yes and that's why I play football after I recovered from a severe injury
Edit: and I'm german (Bayern Fan)
🤤if i think about him as bayern coach
@@jasperbernd3621 Yo bro you good braingasm? Footgasm? ballgasm? Assistgasm? Thomgasm?
Hope so
Excellent, naturally gifted, hardworking player and a good, humble person off the pitch. The one and only Raumdeuter.
Dele Alli comes close.

What else would you expect from Thomassist Muller!
@@rajkumarmalla5901 He did not come up with that tbf
Players like him don’t get the appreciation they deserve because they are not flashy.
they are not aesthetic enough for kids. since they don't dribble and do faint fake shoulders they arent appreciated
@@celestialrex551 true and then they talk about fucking neymar a clown
White Middle European Football players are just not interesting for some reason. You have to be exotic, you need a "came from a poor country and now im here" image. If Neymar was a normal white player his market value would probably half of what hes "worth" now and if Mueller or Lewandowski would be from Argentina or Brazil they would be worth 2x more. But this shows that market value is not = skill value anymore
Inzaghi who have common ability on positioning also don’t get appreciation he deserve
And that is the thing that makes them so sympathetic to me
When we were sperms, we had luck finding the egg cell. Müller interpreted the room and did that on purpose.

Not the most most technically gifted players but definitely one of the smartest ones he just knows how to use his skills effectively like no other.
I wouldn't say he's not the most technically gifted, he's just not as easy on the eye as some others.
@@juuglord8509 What I mean is he does simple things effectively
@@lps2013 that requires a good level of technicality
@@rajivkothur6407 he means flashiness
@@jc12szn he said not technically gifted so..
He is the most German thing ever. He is literally Germany in a man.
More like Bavaria in a man. But since foreigners always think of germany as Bavaria only I guess you are right 😄
He ain´t even German bro. He´s from Bavaria
Yeah sadly one of a kind tho
Thomas Müller is also in combination the most used german name

So true, such a joker

He proves brain is more useful than technique , many players are really techniqual but arent even near him in the game
Make no mistake, Muller is a blend of both. Watch Bayern train and you will see his technique is as good as anyone else's. His style is not very aesthetic, that's all.
Yes and that's how my friend will get a better season after I recover from my broken (Meniskus) I'm always thinking on the tactical side of the team but my leg got fucked after we played to get a new record without losing
But after I got injured we lost 4 to 3
Nah, technique is more useful, that's why there are very few players like him (high intelligence, average execution) while there are many high class players with (questionable decision making but quality execution)
@@greaterthanharrowk1679 Muller has quality execution. International level.
I love when Muller celebrates a goal, he just starts yelling/screaming like he's angry lol . also if someone doesn't rate Muller they don't know football IMO
Its a bit hard to rate muller for some people cuz his role its so rare
he shows just the pure joy and emotion. no dumb running towards the corner flags when there are not even fans lol. Just shouting out his feelings and party with the teammates
@@philipplederer1406 Definitely this, and maybe this is also a way for him to save some energy for the game :D
like he did for his 2nd goal against barca
He celebrates like a boy playing at our nearby ground. Nothing fancier about him. I love it.
Barça fan here! Thomas Müller is extremely under appreciated.
Would you take him on Barça today??
@@dwkickoff That is Joan Laporta's decision.
@@dwkickoff But, if, I was given the authority, then, I obviously would.
Having a Thomas Mülleresque player among our ranks would make it impossible for opponent teams to man-mark Messi effectively. Thomas Müller is one of the assist Kings of Europe. With a finisher like Ansu Fati or maybe Sergio Agüero (if Agüero does leave Man City in a free transfer) Thomas Müller would be almost as lethal in a Barça shirt at par with {almost at par with} how lethal he has always been in a Bayern München shirt. We may not have a Lewandowski here at the Camp Nou, but, we surely can make things fall in place.
@@Yajna007 Well, we all know Joan Laporta reads our comments 😉
@@dwkickoff Hahaaha!! Maybe he didn't used to read comments a decade ago when he let Samuel Eto'o go to Inter Milan only for Inter to win the Continental Treble that season (and oust us from the Champions League Semi Finals stage). Maybe Laporta has changed his habits 12 years later.
Dude represents the ideals of his club like no other player. Müller is FC Bayern.
Getting businesses with a slave worker state as quatar?
Maybe .........
Bayern is muller
@@alkatrasz5338 Better than being owned by Qatar.
@@VivekPalat sure, working with the nazis was also better than being owned by them.
@@scyz3242 the financial situation and the tactic of buying the best players of the rival teams weren't even the point here. Good job.
I never got why Muller was so highly rated so I decided to watch just him during the 2014 World Cup. I literally tracked him during the Germany games cos I was kind of annoyed at how highly rated he was… after watching him for just one game I understood immediately why he was so amazing. His movement and positioning is really up there with the best I’ve seen.
He played so hard! Even getting battered in some instances and he just kept pushing!
Agreed, back to back score 5 goals in world cup
Ditching Müller was the last nail in the coffin for Löw.
Think he'll be back with the Euros?
@@dwkickoff Hope so. Doubt it because auf Löw's ego. M
For almost every manager who did that. Ancelotti and Kovac both dropped Muller to the bench, and after that they didn't last long. Any successful coach must have the support of Muller else they will fail.
Literally anyone who has Müller as an option but ditched him or didn't know how to use him literally make a mistake.
@@dwkickoff Maybe he comes back in the Euro, because its Löws last Tournament and he needs the best Players. And Müller is actually the Best German Player. It would be STUPID to leave him home.
I wanted to be a footballer when I was a kid but my brothers kept telling me I was already not skilled enough to become one (aged 9). I wished I could've watched this video back then. Thomas Müller would've been the perfect role model.
How old are you now..... Jamie Vardy became professional footballer at 25 yo
If you was discoraged simply by your brother there is little chance you can make it. I believe a lot of people told Muller or Vardy the same thing but they did't give up
Ball control is half the rent in soccer
Play simple. Good control. Must have good vision.
Being 2 or 3 seconds ahead is exactly what defines Messi.
Even if Muller seems less comfortable with the ball than Messi. His quick decision-making is as equal in my eyes.
Müller is just Messi with less footballing, technical talent and a higher motor. He also doesn't need the ball as much as Messi. Their brain operate similar but Messi uses it in combination with his on the ball skills to make the best decisions on the ball while Müller uses it to make the best decisions off the ball. Ronaldo is similar when you think of purely scoring off the ball. In fact every world class player has exceptional positioning and spatial awareness. In my opinion that is the biggest and most important quality of a football player. If you are just a genius on the ball but nothing else you are Ben Arfa.
@@ballislife9924 Perfectly summed up bro
Right!
I agree. Christian Eriksen, now in Man. United has the same skills.
and unlike messi he isn't a self-centered asshole
Or a system baby
I think Thomas Müller & Hansi Flick have a good chemistry in between them, which helps Müller on the pitch.
Hope flick chooses German national job. He will make Germany great again. And stop the embarrassing results by Low🙈
@@kieffer4615 was gonna say that. But, respect for löw
Then imagine when flick takes over how well he'll play
@@kieffer4615 he´s on his way: five games - five wins...
Thomas is national treasure of Germany. I hope he wins the Euros this year.
never ever will they win the euro this year, maybe in 3 years time. he has still 2 chances at least.
They will make a comeback with flick but löw is finished.
Too old
@@peterlustig6888 he is 31
@@DislikeFRIDAY given that its Loew's final tournament and a chance to write his wrongs I think they'll play even harder.
Müller , Özil and Klose were such an intelligent & powerful offensive trio for Germany.
Just watch their 3-0 victory over the netherlands in a friendly match in 2011. Their combinations were world class...
One of the most likeable players, so hardworking and successful but still humble
Even as a Dortmunder: Müller is awesome. As a person and as a football player.
His ThoMats videos are super funny competitions with Mats Hummels. Dortmund is the best competition to Bayern in the Bundesliga, but you can be friends off the pitch.
0:37 Müller Said if one is always lucky, then it's ability
Das hat er vom Hermann Gerland, der ihn auch lange trainiert und gefördert hat .
Jau, falsch übersetzt
I remember seeing him (and the other youngsters) at the 2010 World Cup, especially in the 4-2 win over England and thinking he was a pretty good player then.
I love the guy, both for his personality off the pitch, and for his intelligence on the field. Sometimes you don't need to be an Adonis to become a Football god.

I see what you did there!😉
@@yannick245 Ha, I'd forgotten that the Lampard goal wasn't given 😅
Thomas Muller is the reason why i loved soccer and Bayern Munich
if you write "soccer" you never loved football in the first place
Muller plays well for Bayer munich but not for national
team.He doesn’t have the chemistry ,his play is average.
Hard to see him on the pitch.His presence is not
there.Dosent fit in!
@@aeugenx3297 are you really going to say someone doesn’t love something just because they call it something else
@@scyz3242 yes
11 years ago I declared him as the smartest player in the world, I think he still is
messi is probably slightly more intelligent. but yes Müller is a footballing genius.
@@ichmagheringway89 nah I think Muller is smarter Messi just has more ability
@@dagotowka9191 fair enough well we definitely know messi has more ability but a lot of his ability also comes from his intelligence.
but the fact that Müller can cover up sooo much ground just by being so intelligent is incredibly impressive
@@ichmagheringway89 Nah Messi is not even close to be as intelligent. He even forgot to pay his tax!
He's the reason I started taking interest in football, Bundesliga
Now that Flick is taking the Germany job I hope we can see him return to the national team
Löw said that’s possible that he nominates him for European championships.
I think Müller plays a high IQ game. Definitely one of the smartest footballers at the present.

Thomas Müller is the world's most underrated player
Yeah I agree with you
Can we say he is one of the greatest German players ever?
Yes we can!
Yes but we can‘t forget Franz Beckenbauer, Gerd Müller, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Miroslav Klose, Phillip Lahm, Lothar Matthäus, Fritz Walter, Rudi Völler etc.
He ist one of the greatest german players, you are right
Ye
@@mtbmacher_aaron6429 Rummenigge, Neuer, Kahn, Podolski...
Like a Bavarian fan ... I appreciate what Muller does in the pitch for our team... Every Bavarian fan know that Muller someday he will take the duty and he will be our Bayern Munich manager... Coz he is the most intelligent player we ever seen... Mia san Mia ❤️❤️
Μuller is the brain and the heart of Bayern
Kimmich is the heart also
@@marvin.westerhold But still all Kimmich knows comes from Muller. He is the big leader! And further more, he is NOT a true Bayern-boy! I still love his skills and his person, but in a few years he is in Madrid or somewhere else. He is NOT a Bayern by heart.
He's my favorite German player ever and absolute legend of the beautiful game. He's very unorthodox, highly intelligent and work hard for the team.
The 3 goals against lyon he didn't scored or assisted but his movements opened spaces for others to score
That's what he always does. His runs create room for his teammates to score too even if he doesn't touch the ball.
Bundesliga tax
@@mikepeters5549 It was UCL 😂😂
He's one of the best players of the last 10 years. Arguably top ten. Massively underlooked
Behind the scenes it's already decided that Müller will return to the DFB team for this summer's EURO.
I Hope so
There are two possibilites, Löw brings him back in a bet to win his last trophy with Germany to at least cleanse his name a bit after these last two years of failures, or he will insist in not using Müller because of his ego and he wants to win without him to prove he was right all along, though we all know it was a bad decision from the start.
I've been saying Muller is the most underrated player for years
Me too
Muller never ceased to amaze my eyes since his early career. How he deliver his influence and play to the team is simply beyond my imagination.
and not to forget his presence on the pitch and his attitude to always give his best. he is also called radio müller because he constantly pushes and demands. we can be happy when finally the national team plays again. a good man
Muller is the ultimate no 10/false 9/space interpreter. Unbelievably underrated!

Ikr!!
One of the most intelligent players to ever grace the game.
Despite not being extraordinary in any particular department, Muller excels through sheer efficiency. He is the most efficient player on the pitch today. Whatever he has he knows perfectly well how to utilize them.
We’ll never see another Thomas Muller. There may be players we say are Mulleresque, but there won’t be another player that does what Thomas does as good as him. He’s truly an anomaly. We are all incredibly lucky to have witnessed his rise and reign at the top of the game.
I love that guy. I always have the feeling that he has absolutely no talent. With guys like Messi, their talent screams at you. Müller looks like an accountant, but the way he uses his “ability” is incredible. Really shows how far you can go with hard work and intelligence
He is not bad on the ball too. Its just his name, look and playstyle isnt fancy so many people think he has no skill, but he is better than the average Bundesliga Player with the ball.
Müller is one of the best Soccer Players of all Time. The way he plays on the field an the expression of his Tactical " Art " is just beyond Impressive. This Guy gets not the Prais that he deservs because he is not " Flashy " enough. And besides that all: You have to thank Louis van Gaal who spotted this incredible Talent!
"soccer" lol. wtf should that be?
@@diesjenes7879 why do you care he’s calling it soccer, they can call it anything they want, they can call it white and black spot ball if they want to
Many thanks from England !
So proud to say muller lahm and schweinsteiger are some huge reasons I fell in love with bayern can't think of bayern without them 3 the Bavarian boys !!!
It's just that Muller being Muller, there are no words that can describe him as a player ...
You can only enjoy with him and love how he plays football
He is one of the best German players in history
He will be one of the best coaches in the game.. his entire career has been a reward of his amazing intuition, tactical reading of the game and anticipation..
I see "Thomas Müller"...I click.
His Smartness can overwhelmed on skilled opponents..
Started following football since 2010 and been a fan ever since of Mueller .The level and Upgrade he did in 2018 was such a fine one
Müller and Kanté have been my favorite players in the past couple years. Both are smart in their postion and work hard for their teams
Probably one of the most intelligent players who ever lived. Just watching his performance on the pitch in the stadium (not from TV) is something. Because you cannot understand or appreciate enough this man's ability and skills from live tv football shows. The classic camera handling doesn't favor his game.
Yet no fan really has him on their radar as a superstar? What am I, a plant?😅 He IS a superstar!
Muller being a german to the core. 100% pure efficiency. No flashy skills, no lightning pace, just a true textbook player that has mastered all the basics of football.
It's a shame so much of the community of football don't know much about the game. I mean if mueller ever had marketed himself he surely would have become a billionaire but its definitely so much touching to see he has never forgot his roots and is still so humble.
This bloke kills me, I just love him
His youth coach was Gerd Müller one of the best and most unorthodox scorers of all time. That explains quite well the special skills, Thomas has.
He is soo good that u can't look with bare eyes. it's so true when I watch him in a game i don't feel it but when i watch him slowly then I can see. I want muller to check his IQ it will be amazing for sure.
He might not be great in terms of dribbling but what makes Thomas Müller a threat to the opposition’s goal is his ability to not only read spaces but also the tempo of the game and create chances that seem astounding.
Incredible player. He’d probably make a really great coach someday. 🙌🏻
My favorite player ever..... LEGEND..
I'd always take Müller over Neymar. It's an easy choice.
Next joke
one of most underrated players of this generation, deserves more recognition, definitely one of the best playmakers
Even as a fan of Dortmund i'm a fan of müllers genious skill set and great personality,
An exceptional player, undervalued, the way he moves, the goals he generates and the ones he hits are impressive, I would dare to say that he is one of the most effective in the world, a 100% winner has not been given recognition it deserves
Remember when Maradona made fun of him?
Maybe cause he doesn't use his hand to score goals like him:p
Maradona is a tactical muppet in comparison to Muller.
Maradona was gifted physicaly but certainly not mentally
@@kalpeti1 He could speak multiple languages, he managed to get out of shanty town by playing football, he was constantly put down due to being black in his own country.
Maradona was a lot of things naive, impulsive, angry but as a number 10 you will struggle to find a better player, take away the drugs ,scandal & your still left with a player who elevated those played in the same team as him.
He said & did a lot of self destructive actions but that does not take away from his ability in the same game as the handball, he scored one of the best World Cup goals in history against a Sir Bobby Robson managed England side, don’t let your love of Muller blind you to Maradona’s talent.
@@jaybot303functionerror4 what you wrote does not contradict my initail statement.
Maradona was one of the best (probably the very best) player who ever played this game. He was a better player than Müller without any question.
On the other side he often showcased that he is not a very smart human being. During his active career he has made a lot of dumb decisions, he could not handle fame, he was a drug addict etc. After his active carrier he never really managed to become a decent coach either. He said a lot of thing which often turned out to be complete nonsense.
Yes, Bayern and German media in general need to promote their players and league more
Such a pity he didn´t score his gold chance against England today, that would have added greatly to his legacy.
Maybe for the people of Germany it's a pity but in England we thank him for showing us mercy
I mean he has already added hell a lot of things to his legacy. He is one of the highest goalscorers at the football's grandest stage, WC.
The amount of love I have for this guy since 09-10.
Its always has been one of the most pleasure to watch him.
He like a phantom Striker. you lose sight of him and BOOM.... MIRACLE
He is extremely professional. I am sure he will give a new angle to football when he becomes a coach
He is a genius!! Not everyone would give him the respect he deserves... sadly.
He's just great!
Thomas Muller will become a great Manager one day. Probably the best Manager the game has ever seen.
An absolute legend of Football. Not just Bayern. I deeply hope his charisma and career would be remembered for the ages to come. 🔵🔴
Mia San Mia
He's been always on my list in top 3 and his performance in the 2010 world cup was just spectacular..
He's underrated because he doesn't have the star appearance, and he doesn't have any 'swag'/silly dance moves. Simple
Who else thinls that in 20 years he will be a world class manager
For sure
That Souls ne great
i m not sure he wants to be a manager, for me it seems he will enjoy a peacefull quiet life with his wife and wont appear often in public. But i do hope i m wrong, i would love to see he him manage a big team.
@Stefan Jacobs ja sia du Spekulatius
Omg I am so happy that u analysed Müller and u guys did a great job. The people do not understand how important Müller is because they only see the weird dribbling of him and think he is just lucky...
Very Good Video👍
he would've gotten this year another CL win, but sadly his scorer goat wasn't available
Still going strong. One of the smartest players to ever play the game.
He is one of the greatest german player ever graced the football!
I remember when he still played for the Amateurs...he was already there and then making goals like no other...and at a very young age.
Thomas Muller, My all time favorite Player
Definition right man on right place position
One of the greatest player to ever play the game
Müller is just a really great player. Extremely sympathetic, down to earth and loyal to his club, not to mention that he is playing on a worldclass level, and that's why he is one of my favourite players, even though I am by no means a Bayern München fan (Forza SGE)
Skill is if luck grows into a habit.
Müller is great!
Most assists in Bundesliga (163)
50 Champions League Goals (TOP10 in Champions League history)
10 World Cup goals (rarity in its own right)
World Cup Golden Boot (5 goals in 2010) and Silver Boot Winner (5 goals in 2014 WC , only James Rodriguez got lucky with one more goal w/6 or another Golden for Thomas Müller, but anyways)
One of the Top scorers in Bundesliga !!
I don't know what else he needs to do to be recognised as a Legend in his own right !! So heavily underrated 💙💙 !!
He is in the top 10 UCL goalscorer of all time
Muller’s got skills, ball control comedy and so much more
He’s the ideal package
What I respect him even more for than just his skills, that unlike other equally skilled players, he doesn`t try to be more than a football player. No fashion icon , no influencer , just some football player who doesn´t care what his hair looks like or if his socks are pulled up properly.
Been a Muller fan since 2013! Man is an absolute beast! For me, he's a superstar. He means more to me than Messi or Ronaldo. No disrespect for either of the legends!
He´s one of the fastest players with the head and an important point for good team chemistry :)
Never have i ever thought of Muller as nothing but top class. Hes really not flashy but his consistency is out of this world. No matter against which team he plays he always find a space or creates one. Hes fast, when needed, he controls the ball when needed, he passes at the right times and shoot at the right times. Not to mention his character and professionalism.
From Germany ive always had 2 players that were seriously underrated. Muller and Reus. Reus, if wasnt for the injuries would easily make one of the top German players out there. 2 real legends that never got enough attention or in Reus case, luck.
