Thomas Müller is not only highly rated by Bayern fans, his team-mates also appreciate the 34-year-old and his qualities. Eric Dier raves about his attitude and charisma in particular.
„I’ve never seen anyone who feels as comfortable in his own skin as Thomas,“ said the centre-back, who moved from Tottenham Hotspur to FC Bayern during the winter break, in an interview with the British Times.
The 30-year-old was particularly impressed by Müller’s mindset after the 1-0 defeat to Lazio Roma: „In the changing room after we lost to Lazio in the first leg, Thomas said: ‚It’s 1-0 and now they have to come to the Allianz Arena!“ and added: „Thomas was so calm. I’ve never been in a situation like this before, where there was this confidence.“
„I can feel the appreciation for me“
Dier, who was labelled an emergency transfer in the winter, has now firmly established himself in the Bayern defence. According to the Englishman himself, he feels very comfortable in Munich: „It’s funny that I’m more appreciated abroad than at home. I really feel the club’s appreciation for me here in Germany.“
