Mueller: Lewandowski copied my penalty kick technique and improved Neuer is the best choice for German goal

August 28th, Mueller, who joined Vancouver White Waves this summer, recently accepted an interview with the media, in which he answered questions from the German media "Photo" about his loss of the position of the number one penalty kicker at Bayern and the position of the German goalkeeper.

In his first start after joining, Mueller scored a penalty and helped the team win. He adopted the typical Mueller approach: he only stared at the goalkeeper, suddenly paused for a short time after aiming, and then cleverly deceived former Bundesliga goalkeeper Burki.

Muller was the team's first penalty kicker when he was at Bayern, but in 2016 he lost penalty kicks in the German Cup against Augsburg and in the 2016 European Cup. Results: Over time, Lewandowski replaced him as Bayern's fixed first penalty kicker.

In a media interview session on AppleTV a few days ago, Mueller expressed his opinion on this when answering a question from Bistro Bird: "There is a reason why I am no longer Bayern's first penalty kicker. My shooting percentage has declined over the years. I think I was a little too addicted to those technical moves in the end."

Mueller: "And Lewandowski's situation is the opposite. He copied my skills and improved it. He would also shake to deceive the goalkeeper, but his free throws are more decisive."

And in the game against St. Louis City, he proved that he could still score a penalty. Mueller said: "I still practice penalty kicks in private. Although I am not Win Cover White's first penalty kicker, White scored the first penalty kick. But as an experienced player, I do feel responsible, so I stood up and took the penalty. "

When asked about the position of the German national team goalkeeper, Mueller said: "In Germany, if a healthy Manuel Neuer returns to the goal again, few people will object. Some of my championships are attributed to him, so it would be strange if I say something else: Manuel will be a top choice."

Regarding his next trip to Germany, Mueller said: "I will return to Germany again in the next few days. I need to re-adjust my luggage and bring a few more pairs of underwear."
