Germany's Russia World Cup debacle serves as 'huge motivation', says Bayern Munich striker Thomas Mueller

Firstpost  

Thomas Mueller says Germany’s shock early exit from the World Cup will provide “huge motivation” when he starts the new season with Bayern Munich. Berlin: Thomas Mueller says the Germans’ shock early exit from the World Cup will provide “huge motivation” when he starts the new season with both Germany and Bayern Munich. Mueller, 28, was one of several 2014 World Cup winners who played poorly in Russia as previous holders Germany crashed out after the group stages by finishing bottom of their pool. Humiliating World Cup defeats to South Korea and Mexico will motivate Mueller and his team-mates in Germany’s first match of the new Nations League tournament against newly-crowned World Cup winners France in Munich on 6 September.
