T. Müller has published his monthly newsletter, discussing his contract extension with Vancouver Whitecaps, the team's away fixtures in October, Jürgen Klopp's start as Germany's head coach, and who he believes are the world's best footballers.

Here is the full text from T. Müller's email:

Hello everyone, welcome to my monthly email.

I've extended my contract with Vancouver and traveled throughout October, including Jürgen Klopp's first international matches as Germany's coach, plus my thoughts on who deserves the Ballon d'Or.

There are many stories to report once again.

Ups and Downs – But the Fight for First Place Remains What Matters Most

Our current situation is quite volatile.

After winning the Canadian Championship four consecutive times, our cup run ended in the semifinal against Montreal.

While painful, there's no choice but to move forward and leave the past behind.

We've been at the top of the Western Conference for weeks now, so everything is on track as planned, but I'm not entirely satisfied with our performances and results. We have high ambitions this season, but our form has been inconsistent, especially at home. Our performances have been inconsistent since the World Cup.

Personally, I've been scoring quite well. Some say I've had high energy levels.

Winning the MLS Western Conference championship remains our set goal.

We're leading second place by a few points, with eight games remaining. It seems close, but it's not. We're optimistic. 😉

The Supporters' Shield is another matter – awarded to the team with the most points in the regular MLS season regardless of conference.

We need help from other teams. We dropped too many points recently against Nashville SC.

Of course, the MLS Cup can only be decided through the playoffs.

In October, the team will play five consecutive away games: Chicago, Los Angeles, St. Louis, Austin, and Colorado. Everything starts in Chicago on October 6. However, I might not see my former teammate Levan – as far as I know, he's with the national team now.

Contract Extension with Whitecaps

Another update from Vancouver: I've extended my contract with Whitecaps. I'm delighted to continue playing through the 2027 spring season.

I'm in excellent physical condition despite the demanding schedule. I feel great, and my performance data is excellent. Everything is going well.

However, now is not the time to think about the future. I'm fully focused on the spring stretch of the season and the MLS Cup.

Jürgen Klopp's Start as Coach: A Difficult Beginning, Clever Moves

Our new national team coach has already fielded the team in three matches. This fresh start is a genuine challenge.

Jürgen Klopp has called up 44 players with the goal of conducting thorough testing. I believe all fans and observers understand this approach, but when evaluating the matches, it's harder than expected to set aside biased opinions about results and performances – whether positive or negative. Although the German Football Association hasn't done this much before, I think it's good to give many players the chance to show what they can do early on.

Only this way can Jürgen Klopp truly identify which players he wants to include in the next squad. Because that's the key: it's not about who has to play because they're a superstar, but who best fits the style of play the national team needs to play.

I'm really looking forward to tonight's match against Greece. Come on, let's go!

Michael Olise's Performance and My Thoughts on the Ballon d'Or

What's going on with FC Bayern Munich?

I watched parts of their recent matches, and I've been focusing mainly on Michael Olise's performances. His ability to score from outside the box isn't new, but every time I see a goal like that, it's still a joy to watch.

This brings us directly to an important question: who will be the world's best footballer? For me, there are two candidates who have impressed me most with their individual performances: Michael Olise and K. Mbappé are the best duos in world football.

Why them?

Because they combine entertainment with the ability to score. Specifically, they use excellent technique and powerful strength to play the game effectively while making everything look easy and effortless.

In my opinion, performances like these deserve the Ballon d'Or. They just need a bit more magic.

That's all for now. I hope we get good results on our MLS away tour. I also hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful autumn season.

Thank you for your continued support, and take care of yourselves.

Respectfully, Thomas
