Klinsmann says the Bayern Munich superstar is Joachim Low’s ‘difference maker’ and he hopes his compatriot comes to the party against the Three Lions at Wembley on Tuesday.
England booked their place to the Round 16 stage of the Euro 2020 after topping Group D with seven points and Die Mannschaft secured a second place finish in a 2-2- draw against Hungary in the last game of Group F.
Both teams have a lot of talents at their disposals, but Klinsmann believes his country will win the game as he thinks the Englishmen have no player in the mould of Muller.
“I think Thomas Muller really is a difference-maker. My hope is that he gets that moment and steps up,” said Klinsmann, per Mirror.
“He’s the connector of this team right now, and I don’t see England has a player like that.
“Jack Grealish is exciting, he’s fun to watch. Phil Foden and Mason Mount, they all have their brilliant moments.
“But throughout the 90 minutes, you cannot name one English player who you think, ‘okay, he really runs the show, he kind of dictates the tempo, he calms things down or maybe goes to the face of the referee and makes a complaint or whatever.'”
