"I'm not complaining, I'm a football professional and maybe my face is well known. I can't blame people for recognising me...my club Bayern Munich and the German national team are too big and well known worldwide," Mueller said in an interview.
And the key to performing consistently, Mueller says, is all about approaching the game with a positive attitude. The German explains that he is "convinced having a good mentality is a vital part of being a professional footballer".
Mueller also notes that his Bayern Munich side is in a period of transition with the arrival of new coach Carlo Ancellotti, and says that as "in any other company, a change takes time".
"For three years, we had a coach who was fond of every little detail and gave detailed instructions. A new coach then implements new ideas which have been very successful and still can be successful. Considering that it's a normal process that you as a team in the beginning still feel a lot of the former game and methods are within you," he said.
And although his reputation on the pitch is that of a space-maker who positions himself well into the opponent's penalty area, Mueller cautions against reading too much into this tendency.
"You should not see things too mystically," Mueller says. His aim is simply to deliver what his team has come to expect of him.
"There are some spaces in football that can turn into more dangerous spaces on the pitch than others. It might be the spaces for running at the opponents at the right time. Being in the right place has been one of my focuses for a long time," Mueller explained.
Indeed, Mueller does not see himself as a particularly outlandish player, and says that if anything is exceptional about him, it is the sum of his parts rather than his excelling at any one particular skill on the pitch. "Perhaps the only thing that might be sort of unusual is the complete package Thomas Mueller, meaning each individual skill is nothing out of the ordinary. For instance, when dribbling, I'm not a world leader, there are strikers that are faster and they shoot more powerfully," he noted.
Nor does Mueller see himself or his playing style as particularly hard to understand. His success on the pitch is about his mastery of the fundamentals and his ability to think on his feet.
"I don't see myself as mysterious. I see myself as somebody that can react quickly, is more or less intelligent and talented when it comes to the basics of football."
