Thomas Müller scores for the first time for Vancouver – and explains why he also has to think of Robert Lewandowski at penalty.
Last weekend, Thomas Müller scored his first competitive goal for the Vancouver Whitecaps: The 35-year-old converted a penalty under the crossbar in the 3-2 victory against St. Louis City-against none other than ex-BVB keeper Roman Bürki.
Now Müller spoke in a media round about his penalty history-and also called ex-player Robert Lewandowski, who had once replaced him with Bayern as a penalty shooter.

“There were reasons why I was no longer number one for FC Bayern. My quota has dropped a bit over the years. I think I had exaggerated it with the techniques at the end,” Müller is quoted from the picture .

And further: “At Lewandowski it was the other way around. He copied my technique and improved it. He also picked the goalkeepers out, but executed the 911 even more firmly.”
The Polish striker took over at Bayern over time as a regular shooter after Müller shot a few penalty in 2016.
In Canada, he now showed that Müller can still do it from the point. “Of course, I continued to practice penalties in silent combing,” revealed Müller. “I was not intended as a shooter from Vancouver, Brian White had also transformed the first. But as a experienced player, I already see myself responsibility and therefore caught the penalty.”
The shot sat – and gave his new club three important points. A prelude that the 2014 world champion could hardly have wished for.
