Muller: I would have worked on technology or science if I weren't footballer

On Friday evening, Thomas Müller answered fans' questions in a Q&A on his Instagram account. the best answers are summarised from the Bavarian native.

How are you dealing with the current situation?

"It seems threatening, of course. But we must never lose our positive outlook – we have to make the best of the situation."

You have to stay home right now - what are you currently doing?

"We make sure we catch up on the jobs that have got leftover at home, for example cleaning the rabbit hutch, answering letters or signing autographs. There’s also a lot to be done in our stable. Tomorrow, or the day after, another foal will be born, so we have to prepare for that. 

Otherwise I play games with my wife and we cook. Normally I’m well looked after at Säbener Straße. Now we’re looking after ourselves - my wife makes great pasta with ham."

What is currently happening at FC Bayern, and how are the team training?

"We've already had something very special three times, a cyber training. It's basically a training session via video chat. We’re connected to the coach, in this case our fitness coach, who is at the Säbener Straße facility. He performs the drills and the whole team copies him. 

We mainly work with our own weights, or with a spinning bike and treadmills. We’ve already had to do quite a bit of that and we’re still pretty pumped. 

My abdominal muscles have rarely been as good as this! We also chat a lot among ourselves, to maintain the feeling of belonging together."

What was your best game so far?

"You'll have to tell me. I’ve certainly had plenty of incredibly good games. The most intense moment was the goal in the 2012 Final dahoam against Chelsea - the feeling of scoring the goal the whole city was waiting for in that game, in that stadium, was incredible. Unfortunately, as we all know, we lost on penalties. But I'll never forget that moment."

What would you have been if you hadn't become a professional footballer?

"It was very important to me to graduate from high school, so I had a Plan B up my sleeve. It also helped me a lot that I wasn’t under much pressure to become a professional. Otherwise I would certainly have studied and gone into mathematics, technology or science."

What’s your favourite music?

"I listen to everything and would like to be able to play an instrument. Once I finish my career, I’ve totally resolved to learn the guitar. If you keep following me here, you’ll certainly witness my first steps."
