Joachim Low's side lost in
the semi-finals of Euro 2016 and the forward failed to score, but he is
keen to take the positives from the tournament.
Thomas Muller hopes Germany's semi-final disappointment at Euro 2016 can help to inspire them to greater heights.
Joachim Low's world champions appeared well-placed to add the
European crown to an impressive body of work over recent years, but
bowed out as Antoine Griezmann scored a goal in each half to seal a 2-0
win for hosts France in Marseille.
France lost 1-0 to Portugal after extra time in the final, while
Bayern Munich forward Muller – who failed to find the net during the
tournament – wants Germany to build on lessons learned for their 2018
World Cup defence in Russia.
"Everyone saw the Euros, we were close but in the semi-final it just
didn't work out," he said. "But you need to take the positives with you
to the future, get new motivation from it. I'm just happy we can breathe
now.
"If we look at how the tournament went, we can say we left the
tournament with pride, although we didn't reach what we wanted. But
that's football.
