The 2014 world champion has signed with the Vancouver Whitecaps until the end of December. The opportunity for the former Bavarian to have his first experience far from Europe.
“There, you are in a top club”
In the show Blickpunkt SportMüller returned to his departure from the Old Continent. The double European champion confided that he would not have ruled out the idea of joining FC Barcelona if Hansi Flick, his former coach and current coach of the Blaugranas, had requested his services.
“I wanted to leave Europe. I could have had one or two options. Let's say that if Hansi Flick, who knows me very well, had called me and I liked the job at Barcelona, I would have said: “I can imagine something like that. “There, you are in a top club, you know what people expect from you”he said.
