Frankfurt / Main (AP) - Former Bundesliga top scorer Dieter Müller misses a German striker from the class of Robert Lewandowski or Erling Haaland.
«Indeed, there is no outstanding striker from Germany.
It was long missed to train such a guy, "said the 66-year-old in an interview with the Offenbach Post (Tuesday).
«For me there should be a header pendulum in every club.
Despite only being 1.82 meters, I always scored goals with a header.
Lewandowski is an excellent header player.
In Germany you missed that with these half-players. "
Dieter Müller trusts the world footballer of FC Bayern Munich, who leads the Bundesliga scorers list with 32 goals, also the record of Gerd Müller.
The 1974 world champion scored 40 goals in the 1971/72 season.
"He is in exceptional shape, has been bursting with self-confidence since he was elected world footballer and plays in a great team that creates many opportunities," said Müller.
The Offenbach player was the top scorer in 1977 with 34 goals for 1. FC Köln, a year later he shared the crown with Gerd Müller (both 24).
He scored 177 goals in 303 Bundesliga games for Cologne, Kickers Offenbach, VfB Stuttgart and 1. FC Saarbrücken.

Dieter Müller was skeptical about the future of Dortmund's Norwegian young star Haaland (20).
«He's an incredibly athletic and powerful player and has enormous will.
But I still don't see Lewandowski's sovereignty and class in him, ”he explained.
"Haaland also has to be careful not to hurt himself from the sheer aggressiveness that characterizes him."
Dieter Müller also prophesied: “If Real Madrid or the English want him, he'll be gone quickly.
And you have to see whether he will get along as well as he did in Dortmund. "
