The 22-year old believes his side have displayed what they are capable of in the Group stages and is confident of a good finish to the Euro 2012.
The midfielder was became an integral part of the Mannschaft in the 2010 World Cup, after an impressive start to his http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 career Muller was a permanent fixture in Joachim Low’s side. He featured in all three of DFB eleven’s
group fixtures.
Despite being only 22, he has around 31 caps under his belt. The Bayern Munich man was rested alongside http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marco-Reus-c23733, another emerging talent.
Reus' performance in the quarter final has thrown his name in the mix for a place in the starting line-up against Italy. Muller however will be determined to feature in that match. The last time his side played Italy in a competitive
match he was only a teenager.
"I hope I can play this time. It hasn't been decided yet. We'll see who the coach decides for,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The playmaker recalls the moment when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 face each other in a mouth watering semi-final encounter.
"I watched the game at a big public viewing. It was bitter. Fabio Grosso destroyed the dreams of Germany," he added.
This time around Joachim Low’s side look the stronger of the two. The Nationalelf were placed in the group of death alongside http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Denmark-c2884.
Despite being in an extremely tough group the DFB eleven made a mockery of the moniker, as they brushed aside their opponents and picked up nine points out of nine. The Bayern Munich midfielder believes now that they have shown
their opponents they can beat anyone, a lot of teams would want to avoid them
"We are on a good run; we showed what we are capable of so far this tournament. And we did it against top teams like Portugal and Netherlands. They were two important games and two great results that we were very happy about,”
he further added.
The Germans however would be wary of Cesare Prandelli’s side; the Italians are quite flexible tactically. They have showed that they are capable of playing some free flowing football in a 4-4-2 formation, and can revert to 3-5-2
when they want to suffocate their opponents in the middle of the park.
