Thomas Müller hinted at a possible resignation from the national team shortly after the World Cup.

Now he creates clarity.

Doha – The DFB resignation is off the table: Thomas Müller will continue to play for the German national team.

“As long as I'm a professional, I'm always available when I'm needed.

The national coach has to decide when, if and how,” said the Bayern star at a press conference in Doha, where the Munich team is currently completing their training camp.

"I was emotional after the game, it was a sad moment.

I thought about it and was in contact with Hansi Flick,” explains Müller.

It is now a matter of "converting the frustration of the World Cup into energy".

“We have to and want to be able to play football successfully again.

It's less about individual personalities.

The coach has many options," he said.
