Biography of Thomas Müller

Thomas Müller, a German football player, has been playing for Bayern Munich since February 4, 2010. Born on September 13, 1989, in Weilheim, Germany, Müller developed an interest in football from an early age and started playing for TSV Pähl. In 2000, he joined the youth team of FC Bayern Munich.

In 2007, Müller helped his team become champions of the German youth league. The following year, he made his debut for the reserve team of FC Bayern Munich, scoring the winning goal in his first game against SpVgg Unterhaching in March 2008. While he occasionally played for the reserve team during the 2007-2008 season, he primarily trained with the youth team.

In the next season, Müller became a key player for the reserve team and made a few appearances for the first team of FC Bayern Munich. His debut game for the first team took place on August 15, 2008, against Hamburger SV. In the same year, Müller came on as a substitute in a Champions League match against Sporting CP and scored the decisive goal.

In February 2009, Müller signed his first professional contract and was included in the first team of FC Bayern Munich. The arrival of new coach Louis van Gaal and several new players made it easier for the young player to integrate into the team.

In the first half of the season, Müller mostly stayed on the bench but excelled in the second half, winning the title of "Player of the Month" for his goal-scoring and assist contributions. On February 4, 2010, it was announced that Müller had renewed his contract with FC Bayern Munich until 2013. By this time, he had become a regular starter for the team and played the full duration of most matches.

At the end of the 2009-2010 football season, Müller was named the team's "Player of the Year" with 19 goals and numerous assists. He represented Germany from the age of 16 when he first played for the youth national team. In August 2009, he was included in the senior national team of Germany. He made his first appearance for the national team in March 2010 against Argentina, which unfortunately ended in defeat.

On May 6, 2010, Müller was named in the squad for the German national team for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. He scored his first goal in the tournament against Australia, helping Germany to a 4-0 victory. In the semifinals, Germany lost to Spain and finished in third place. Despite this, Müller won the Golden Boot and became one of the youngest players in World Cup history to score more than 5 goals. The record for this achievement still belongs to Pelé.

In December 2009, Thomas Müller married his girlfriend Lisa after two years of living together.
