June 2: After Bayern Munich won the Bundesliga, the players of the team ushered in a short rest period. After the holiday, the team will enter the preparation period for the Club World Cup. Mueller expressed his expectations and desire for the upcoming Club World Cup in the interview.

Muller said: "Bayern gave us a few days off for a break, and I fully enjoyed this time. In the past few weeks, it was really nervous around the league and my departure. This gave me time to do things that are often overlooked, such as playing golf, meeting friends, and pursuing my passion for horse racing. Plus playing a Schafkopf card game, what else can I ask for in my life? "

" But now everything has returned to normal. In order to prepare for the Club World Cup, the first phase of physical training has been put on the agenda, endurance, interval running, strength training, and a full set of events. We will soon set off to the United States to participate in the Club World Cup, which is my last event as a Bayern player. There are a few things I am looking forward to: a highlight must be the match against Boca Youth in Miami. As a European football sport It usually doesn't have the chance to play with traditional clubs like South America. It will speed up the heartbeat of football players. And then, of course, there's the knockout stage, that's where it's really exciting."

"I've always liked tournaments like the World Cup, the European Cup, or now the Club World Cup because we're in this 'secret meeting' state as a team, working closely together for four to six weeks. We spend a lot of time together, and then as a team, we can fight for a lot of achievements, and of course sometimes difficult moments, but in general it's a real carnival. I also think the United States is also very exciting as the host country. Maybe we can set off a little football craze here to warm up the 2026 World Cup. I think football has a huge potential in the United States. Let's wait and see."
