In 2011, Thomas Muller invented the term 'Raumdeuter' to explain his rather unique position at Bayern Munich. We explain the term, and look at other players who might fit into this category.

#raumdeuter #thomasmuller #bayernmunich - Sport
You forgot one important aspect of Müller: he has exceptional stamina. He is constantly running and moving, which crushes many opponents. Müller often strikes at the end of a game, when his opponent is tired.
Müller spielt immer
Alli also. He easily out runs all other players on the pitch by large amounts. Even when he’s taken off early
Daniel Burgess i forget which game it was, but dele actually ran more than all players despite getting taken off at the 60-70 minute. lamela/ndombele do well in the first half, but we really need dele in the last 45.
Gerard Moreno is starting to look like one too, possesses a lot of attributes similar to mullers
@@gorydays28 so said Van Gaal
It actually has no real English translation. It could mean both space interpreter or space investigator. It's *very* cool actually
Mediocre Content lol
From BR champions football
space interpreter is more accurate
@@OGmindreset space explorer? free roamer?
Mediocre Content yes 😂😂😂
He is only 30 and has won nearly every trophy imaginable. Yet people were slating him for a slight dip in form. He's like Phillip Lahm, such a key figure for his team, but never gets spoken about as he's not very flashy.
Germans are very good teamplayers, they don't look at 1 player and say " oh yeah we will buy this one and he will win us games all by himself ". Instead they do the right thing and make a strong, single minded collective of great players that fit together perfectly.
@@jonkodn8676 exactly, this won them the world cup in 2014
The last German player with flashy skills was Littbarski.
Bro there's no "only 30" in football. 30 is old for an athlete
@@adeshkantha7034 no it's not.
8-2 Bayern. The Raumdeuter strikes again.
Lol
It's called the free role in England, been a thing for decades.
Just one fucking game and the decades worth of reputation of the team goes down the drain...
@@ashunknown9728 they won 5-3 u idiot

I really liked this one. I never knew that Muller had a term for what he does.
nextgen101 if you play football manager there are special roles for different position. The raumdeuter is one of them
nextgen101 Germany had a term for what Müller does. A term that exists longer than Thomas Müller does. Müller just used a term that literally describes his Playstyle to describe his playstyle......
Anton Mayr
I never said he created the word. I just didn't know that he described himself in this way. That's it.
nextgen101 in the video they did though so i assumed U were refering to that sorry
I would say, Müller is just what is described in the dutch total voetbal as a "free radical".
There, most players are holding their position or just leaving it, when an other player can replace it. The free radical instead instead is moving, where he likes..
How effective Muller is shows in his stats against big teams. Argentina, Spain, Brazil, England, Portugal, Barca, Man City, PSG, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Arsenal, Dortmund, no matter the name of the team, Muller fucking scores and/or assists against them all. It's unbelievable.
if you track only müller during a whole game its insane. And maybe you will get to watching him, but he runs so much and a lot more than most footballers, but he is never running without an idea behind it. It's so weird and beautiful to watch at the same time. Müller is one of a kind imo.
Donny van de Beek is kind of similar
@@abdullahlangcua6210 thats blasphemy
@@NoobPlayMC I mean that they’re both very intelligent in finding space. They overlap in that area of their game. They also both like to get in to the box and score goals from the midfield
@@abdullahlangcua6210 ye and one is one of the best players of his generation and from Germany in general and the other one is a ManU benchwarmer
@@NoobPlayMC well who said Van de Beek can’t become as good? He’s just 24 or something like that. And right now he’s a starter for Everton and I’d reckon that he would be much better by now if he went to the Bundesliga instead of the Premier league
It's very cool, actually.
I came here looking for this. I am not disappointed.

The raumdeuter, known as the space interpreter, is VERY cool actually

@@leon.m69 Yes
Interviewer: So whats your position in football
Muller: It’s a bit complicated
Behind the striker
@@titiahirini348 he's playing RW now 😂
@@adityasinha2848 oh yes, because behind the striker right now is Tolliso and Serge still quarantine. There's interview with Müller, and he said he likes to behind the striker.
I like the analysis, really do.
But i think Müller is THE player whose technical skills, first touch, dribbling, finishing and physique are most underestimated. His goofy, lanky body type and unorthodox movements conceal his really impressive pressure resistance at the ball and upon first touch, his remarkable direct passing or his pretty effective (though not flashy) dribbling. He rarely misses a pass, crosses on point (again even under pressure) and is even very disciplined and successful when working in defense (1v1 as much as pressing and Gegenpressing). As for his finishing... There are people still calling him weak at that. The man scores double digits each year, assists in that range too and generally makes Robben, Ribery and James happen in the first place. Nobody can seriously believe that defenders aren't wise to Robben's left foot or Ribery's excellent synergy with overlapping defenders... It's part Müller who drags defenders out of their positions, with fake-outs, rotating positions and his very communicative style of directing his team mates. More so since Schweinsteiger and Kroos left. He doesn't shoot at empty goals either or avoids physical contact. (By the way his intelligence shows when he is provoked or provoking, never going too far, never giving off the feeling he even takes things too seriously but still not backing down)
He seems always observant and seldom gives up on a situation which enables him to use occasional chaos (deflected balls, unsorted opponents) to his advantage.
Delle Alli is tall by the way. At least for normal people's standards.
Lol, are u serious?
I'm a Bayern fan and watching every single game.
And I tell you his dribbling, passing and especially his first touch is as terrible, as people think it is.
Every game he has the weakest passquote and is not pressing resistent at all.
Bayern is just a very strong squad in relation to the rest of the bundesliga.
James has comparable goal and assisting statistics, playing a much more defensive role.
You may be right, that he made it often possible for Robben to cut inside, but Robben and Ribery were doubled by many teams on their wings, so Müller got massive space.
He made more profit by them.
@@Myllhahn you arent a bayern fan.
@@6348paul
Why? Because I am objective and you are just a lil kid, that follows, whatever happens? ;-)
Did you see him against Schalke? Terrible passes, again and again.
He is just not worth it.
@@Myllhahn im not a little kid boiii . Its just true that everybody makes him worse as he is . I didnt said hrs on one level with coutinho for example. Since you are just saying what every casual bayern watcher says you the one following whatever kid . Peace
Finally someone who understands and recognizes Müller for who he is! Everyone saying he is trash and bad but they just cant see what an important role he has in the team.. stop being ignorant guys, Törmas Müller is gonna be a legend, mark my words!
raumdeuter is german for "müller can do what he wants, as long as he scores or keeps defenders occupied." is it really a position now? because its really very much definded by the playstyle of unique players. its not that you can just assign someone to do what muller and alli do.
Max Aggropop Not a position but a role, he played it when he was most effective as a Second Striker or sometimes on the right wing/Midfield, but the role was always the same.
not a position dummy. He's talking about the type of players that they are. That's like saying Ronaldo Nazario and Peter Crouch are the same players just because they're CF's lol
.
Dele Alli is not even like Müller more like a defensive middlefielder who sometimes goes to attack and i don't even know where they came from with callejon wtf
@@SiefausOsna Dele Alli is like a defensive midfielder????? What.The.Fuck!?
Now, people at least understand why Müller was and still is good.
AnimalBeast 7 Well the last years were extremely bad...
@@lexxihd5843 The last years? He was below average last year but this year he's back...
@@cedricfun7152 Yes. I wouldn't say "below average" i would say extremly bad, but yes.
@@lexxihd5843 WTF? I am Bayern fan and you're talking bullshit
@@georgex7442 I am too. He was useless.
Dele Ali is 6'2
That's considered tall
Its taller than average but it isn't that tall.
Yea that's tall, definitely explains why he's good at heading
Thomas Norton-Crossman Above 6ft is tall..
In professional football, Average height is 5.9 or 5.10 I think..
Alvaro Morata is 6'2 as well
Its taller than average i acknowledge, but all im saying is it isnt that tall. Anyone within the range of 5.10 - 6.2 i would consider within the normal range.
Müller is a phantom player, he's everywhere on the pitch, but you can't see him!
He's also a good comedian.
Lewangoalski
Müller in 10 years will be the German coach, mark my words.
Marked 7 years left
I'm a simple man - I see a video that takes a pop at Graeme Souness' one-dimensional punditry, I click the thumbs up
I like simplicity :)
Graeme Souness - awesome player, meh manager and pundit.
@array s
Carra is both and arrogant beyond belief, even scousers hate the guy. This is a man who holds himself up in the same breath as Maldini, Cannavaro, Nesta ect.
This will be remembered as the day when tifo compared delli Ali with Muller
These are the players that are great but will never be useable on Fifa .
That's fucking true
Muller is a monster in FIFA ! You can play him at CAM with Free Roam, CF with False 9, RW or LW with cutting inside instructions & he’s super effective! He’s not fast so don’t try out sprinting defenders, but you can do small bursts of speed & change of pace, use his dribbling & good ball control to get in a shooting position. Use finesse shot from outside the box & you gonna get goals on goals on goals! He’s also super good @ just being in the right place @ the right time! Effective on headers too! I’ve even used him at CM at times & he’s effective! He’s just a great all around, balanced player with amazing shooting.
@@gilbertgiannitottidibaggio517 4-4-2 with Lewa and Muller as the strike partnership works fantastic.
Alli was always OP in FIFA
i use callejon on the wing because of his speed
Muller has always been my favorite footballer precisely because his style of play seems to accessible to the average viewer yet his goal output is consistently formidable. It makes one feel like with industrious movement and a keen awareness you can eschew needing extraordinary or flashy skill to achieve greatness. There's something elegant and inspiring about that in my opinion.
Muller is one of my favourite players in football...such a clever player
Kinda feel like this channel is too good for us. Lol nothing but the highest quality in every aspect of every video. Amazing stuff gentlemen.
Thank you for putting Souness picture in the end..
Used to think he was good pundit but he become so bitter recently. He looked like someone jizzed in his cornflakes when pogba won World Cup
haha loved that! he got some issues that man...
Daniel Karlsén maybe pogba and kante gave his wife a hot lunch and he walked in on them
Muller's mind, intelligence and interpretation of the opposing team's tactics surpass any other player.
Thanks for explaining! Football Manager is going to be easier now
Theo Kwong Indeed. Biggest thing for me to take from this is to invest in good dribblers in team to make the raumdeuter even better and to let it utilize the role more.
Who is here after Bayern won the Tripple in 2020
Me
Treble*
So what your saying is Muller is playing a hybrid of a CF/RM/CAM type role?
blamethemonkey784 No he is a LB m8
Crowseph Stalin wat you got be kidding me m8. I guess I have to watch more bayern games then.
blamethemonkey784 well he often plays as BW (bench warmer)
Crowseph Stalin 😂😂 I wouldn't doubt it. He's pretty overrated. His WC performance was pretty shite.
Crowseph Stalin damn you got no chill mate.. 😂
Watching this after Bayern won the 2020 UCl and Muller at the heart of it.
Jesse Lingard? I'd have said he fits the bill of Raumdeurer more than Alli. Alli is tall, fast and very technically capable. Lingard is just v good at finding space without being an overwhelming presence on the pitch.
Alex Gærtner but lingard has rapid pace and likes runs from deep to turn defenders- not really what this position is about?
Christian Scott he involves himself in build up play hence coming from deep, but his position gives him as much freedom as Müllers and idk if he's that fast. I seem to remember Koscielny being able to keep up with him. I guess he and Alli both fit the role, but I see him more as a raumdeuter and Alli more of a Centre Forward/Second Striker.
Alex Gærtner koscielny is one of the quickest defenders in the prem
No way is Lingard a Raumdeuter. He can dribble decently with the ball. Creates chances. Likes to run on the flanks often. Not a Raumdeuter
yep lingard is a good example he isn't flashy.. and he exploit the space w/ free role movement.. a very hardworking and complement another star player i.e Alexis
isagi yoichi from blue lock prolly takes him as an inspiration
yea you’re right
No One:
The Champions viewers : “There is no English translation, it sort of means space investigator or interpreter, it’s very cool actually.”
Technique, intelligence, movement, composure: Muller has it all and can be counted upon to perform in big games
Always love these player role vids. Thank you Tifo ❤️
Thank you for this video. I never really understood Donny van de Beek his role at Ajax in depth but now i totally get it. Coach Ten Hag has been the assistant of Guardiola at Bayern Munich and I think he has now found his own Müller.
"It's very cool, actually."
"get on with it striker!"
Do a one on the Libero role!
_its not a position , its a mentality_ .
“Ich bin ein Raumdeuter”.
Dirk Kuyt comes to my mind. Always at the right place at the right time, it’s like he almost could “smell” where the ball would go after the shots bounce from defenders or goalkeeper. He was a great player not because he was extremely gifted but he was extremely smart.
Great explanation, never truly knew what it meant, but now it had helped me realize what i my style of football for my football teams. I do no possess great physical attributes but instead rely on attacking positioning and timing of runs, people never called me good but i pop up with goals and assists. I truly feel more appreciative of myself now!
Muller is the man, he really has been the heart of the Bayern team for over a decade. Loved him, Schweinstager, Lahm and Neuer on the same pitch. Almost unbeatable
its very cool actually
Great vid as usual! I've always loved Muller but I actually didn't know he had a term for his role!
Videos like this are reason why im such a big fan of this channel. My fav channel
who is here after barca 2-8 bayren
not me
Mmh🤔 I'm here after barca 2-8 bayern
Man the depth the details , just wish you would do mourinhos tactics next cuz im really here confused does mourinho have a specific style of play ? Bus jokes aside
eness sidaty Mourinho is a bit like Allegri. He does not stick to any specific way of playing or formation. What they are really good at is using the enormous talents at their disposal to reach a solution. The last Liverpool vs Man Utd is a good example. All Mourinho did was to instruct his back line to punt long balls to Lukaku. Lukaku would win the header against Alexander Arnold and Rashford would get hold of the second balls, cut in and shoot. And then they would defend in a 6 men back line. Utd won the match 2-1. Nothing fancy or beautiful in terms of build up or passing but gets the job done provided talents and stars are there.
What they arent good at are improving and developing individual talents eg Sanchez, Pogba inspite of being so talented have somewhat struggled to play consistently under Mourinho. Allegri at Juve havent really improved upcoming young, promising talents like Bernardeschi, De Sciglio, Bentancur. Marchisio was made to sit and warn the bench. Pjaca inspite of his technical strengths wasnt utilised at all .
Just my 2 cents
Mourinho doesn't seem to have a specific attacking style of play. He seems to let his players define the style while sometimes restricts their creativity by adapting to his opponent's tactics.
Mourinho is pragmatic so rather than have his own concept of attacking the opposition he works on how to weaken their attack first and then exploit their weaknesses in defence
Eness sidaty the bus jokes aren't really jokes that's a part of his plan
Everyone now plays like Mourinho. Spurs, Man City, Liverpool, Everton, even Arsenal, play Mourinho tactics to a certain extent. That's how far ahead he was. In fact, if Mourinho played more like Mourinho, he'd have kept his job at Man Utd. Towards the end of his tenure at Man Utd, he got stuck using the same tactics and his finishing lacked creativity.
Thank you, its been a while since I learned something completely new in football, this is fascinating.
Wow, this is actually incredibly insightful, you know it's amazing how you can infuse a successful strategy that seems so flexible, order is still maintained it's amazing
Great vid tifo. Really learnt alot🤘🤘
Just watched the quarterfinals with MOTM Müller VS Barcelona (2:8 for Bayern). This was probably his best performance ever in his club career 👏
New to this channel but it is amazing. Interesting information so clearly explained. Thanks to all involved
This is awesome! I was watching The Champions animated show and I was confused on what Müller was saying. Thanks, Tifo Football! You just earned a subscriber! 😊✌🏼
I think Thomas reads the game more often and more precise than most top players. He delivers good plays to the strikers and his often is overlooked by the defence.
Bayern Munich 8-2 Barcelona
Müller one of the greatest player to ever play the game.
quality analysis tifo, shows your high football knowledge. subscribed
That really something couldn’t be seen by most , its a hidden role ..
thank you for this analysis.
Can you make a video about the traditional dutch winger? We had so many great wingers like keijzer, tahamata, overmars, brian roy, robben, van der meide, justin kluivert etc. Thanks for the great channel!
superb video :)
I really like this, a video of a topic I wasn't familiar with before. More like this plz
His first touches are brilliant
This is exactly why those players underapreciated, ignored, and didn't get the credits they deserve. Football fans right now only want some fancy dribbling sh*t or even who scored the most goals. This video is a total high class. Thank you! 🙋
Revisited this video after Muller won the 2020 Champions League.
One of the few channels where i feel entertained while learning something new
First of all you are a genius for figuring this out 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾once again as always awesome vid
Excellent video
Really interesting video
I had often wondered how Muller always scores goals. Infact I had discussed it with friends and we just couldn't understand how he does it. Thanks for the explanation.
Tifo Football, I think you have level up your game once again.
I always knew Muller was a particular player, but now I can put a name and an idea on his game. Thank you.
Former Bayern Munich coach Jupp Heynckes once said: (roughly translated into English): "Mueller is able to find space on a football field where no one else can". I think that describes him best.
There’s no direct English translation. It’s very cool, actually
Thank you for the great video.This will certainly help me in my footballing career.⚽
BRILLIANT VIDEO THANK YOU TIFO
Space explorer/ Space interpreter
It’s very cool actually
8 goals and 21!! assists in bundesliga, what a beast i still do not know why he isn't nominated for ballon d'or
For years my dad and i were trying to understand how it was that thomas muller was so effective at scoring goals without being physically dominating, technically gifted or naturally pacy.we always concluded that he was always at the right place at the right time. nice to know there is a term for it.
Best tactical analysis youtube channel
I would like to see a video about next tactical innovations or new philosophies, assuming there are some undiscovered...
Dele Alli is 6'2"... how is that not tall? While great analysis and I've been a fan of your channel for some time, I think that on occasion you write narratives that just aren't there.
southgooner86 he's also technically gifted, his ability in tight spaces is one of his best attributes. There was a point where was nutmegging people for fun.
yeah he's an athlete in general but I think it's true about him being able to crop up in the right positions.
Sandro Wagner - 6'4"Olivier Giroud - 6'4"
2 strikers that are known for heading ability.
Chris Smalling - 6'4"Virgil van Dijk - 6'4"Vincent Kompany - 6'4"Harry Maguire - 6'4"
Obviously they were talking about height relative to people he will be heading against. 6'2" will not tower over defenders he is going against.
Yes, but he doesn't catch the eye on the ball nearly as much as Hazard or Sane. Good technical ability but not outstanding.
Thomas Müller is almost the same height btw
Muller not only confuses the opponents about his position but also FIFA and PES creators. They just dont know what position they should give him.
I kill people online in Pes with him playing like he does in real life
😅😅😅
OMG 😱😱 this is the best Tactical Video I've ever watched
Muller is soo underrated
As a fan from the US staying up to see this is definitely worth it
Muller is an absolute genius and an inspiration to less physically but more tactically gifted players like me.
His finishing IS quite astonishing. Indeed not flashy but his instinct to find the goal from odd angles and with improvised finishing techniques is insane. And don't forget he's good at getting away with fouls in the final 3rd (like an attacking defender that blocks, elbows, pushes and all that for his teammates to exploit, and does it with elegance, haha...)
Like that wonderful pick on Jordi Alba, was it? Hilarious.
I've never heard of the term "Raumdeuter" previously, but now I know what it means, so thank you for this. I like it when people in and around football invent terms, like when Dan Walker did so with "thronker".
This was such a good description of this role. “Creating space through deception “
Please make more videos like this!
I would also argue Messi does this. Watching Barca play, you’ll see he often drops deep and varies between being a central playmaker, winger and centre forward
I see Messi as a player who has each world class forward's unique attributes , and it's fucking scary , i support Bayern and i've always dreamt about an attack lead by Messi , Robben , Ribery , Lewandowski/Muller
that is indeed a great analysis, thank you. And Raul Gonzalez Blanco can be labelled as the pioneer, that is why he glowed well in Bayern after Madrid. Thanks again
Please make more of these Role videos
Love them
it’s *very* cool actually
Thx Muller for giving birth to a char named Isagi😄
You guys are amazing
Great content
This role could redefine the way the game is played , less technical skilled players can progress meaning the balance of games is even closer .
I think other examples are:
Mkhitaryan. Naturally a Raumdeuter but dunno if he's the same under Mourinho.
& Sterling for England.
Shark Team I think Martín Palermo at Boca Juniors could have been a proto-Raumdeuter. He was a striker who had absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever, he wasn't technical, he was injury prone, he was sluggish, but je always knew exactly where to receive the ball, and he wouldn't stop scoring.
Mourinho? Wenger and now Emery
Shark Team mkhitaryan is at Arsenal now
Wow I totally forgot that somehow 😂😂
Shark Team yeah, he swapped with Sanchez
These ability of creating space and being in right position at the right time can also been seen in forwards like Inzaghi, Klose and Pauleta. None of them had particular impressive skills but they were prolific goalscorers.
surprised you guys didnt mention pedro but that is a good explanation, a forward player that is given freedom in last 3rd to find between pockets of space, making runs between the lines and scoring from those positions
Funny how this got in my recommended after he annihilated Barca lol
Muller comes at you from every angle
Muller is similar to Inzaghi but in a different position, Muller is a player who is underestimated but not to be reminded of how great he is in slaughtering opponents with landslide scores, for example 2-8 which is iconic.
I knew this is a unique skill,is very unnoticed by fans but it is very effective for the team attack.This is like ''cunning fox''.with those players you will grow faster as they
open spaces on the pitch for others players. Those players are very rare.I expected this video from this channel. And it is now.Fantastic !
