JAKARTA - Germany experienced a bad year after failing to reach the Four Nations League Final. Thomas Muller then looked at Real Madrid and Carlo Ancelotti for inspiration.
In eight games in 2022, Die Mannschaft won just two games, with five draws and one defeat.
Germany is currently behind Hungary and Italy in their group, and is only above England.
With the Qatar World Cup getting closer, veteran star Muller sees the importance of Germany to remain calm and confident.
He used Real Madrid as a model for his national team.
"Maybe Real Madrid can be an example for us," said Muller, quoted by Marca, Wednesday.
"I have played for many coaches, including Ancelotti, who have won many trophies.
"When things don't go well, it's about recovery and staying confident. We're going to do well to follow that."
Muller has played under the Italian boss at Bayern Munich for two seasons, so he knows his method well and knows what he wants for Germany.
Germany will start their World Cup in Qatar on November 23 against Japan in Group E, where they also share a place with Spain and Costa Rica.
Germany has high hopes in Qatar as they want to make mistakes in Russia four years ago.
