Müller, the quiet fury eclipsed Cristiano
Cristiano Ronaldo expected all the attention in his debut, but it was Thomas Müller who ended up stealing the spotlight and looks at Fonte Nova Arena in Salvador with a furious performance that confirmed Germany as a candidate for the title.
A hat-trick in the 4-0 to Portugal, one caused and ability to assume the role of reference in the great offensive team Joachim Löw returned to put the Bayern Munich striker slim in the list of stars to closely expulsion in the contest. "I score three goals in the first game of a World Cup and against a team that's glorious," he said after the game with the same composure he displayed in the game.

| Thomas Müller after scoring the penalty against Portugal |
Müller had warned that Germany reached the World to do "something big". No one imagined how he felt what he said.
In his second World Cup, and with only 24 years, responded with astonishing calm pressure posed the decisive late to Portugal, the most feared by Germany in the group stage rival. Already in the 12th minute opened the scoring by converting a penalty shot with under Gözte and post. Following Hummels 2-0 after 32 minutes, reappeared to larger distances in the 45 winning a ball in the penalty spot and sending it to the network without giving reaction time goalkeeper Rui Patricio. And in 78 rounded the first hat trick of the tournament and his first career selection through the principal merit of the front: the right location at the right time.
Meanwhile, I also learned to exploit the growing area away from nerves Portugal: a ball playing in the half with the ever rough Pepe was a slap in the face. The defender came to rebuke him and ended up seeing a red card 37 minutes that left ten in the Lusitanian. "I want to see the play on TV. Felt a blow with the fist. What happened next no one can say exactly," he said.
Müller had promised its best in Brazil. "I feel definitely better than in South Africa 2010," he warned. Many doubted. After being top scorer with 5 goals in South Africa 2010 with just 20, Müller began a four-year journey of ups and downs and surrounded reviews.
In 2012 totaled 500 minutes without re-convert the selection and his post was compromised. A good season in 2013 he returned to make way for a frustrating 2014 for the minutes of bench at Bayern Josep Guardiola. The press came to assume their flight English football.
But things began to change as the World Cup approached. Bayern announced its renewal until 2019 and the unexpected injury that left out of the World Reus opened a gap that should cover Löw. All eyes pointed to Müller. And the attacker fulfilled.
After his display at the 100th match of the German team at the World Cup, Löw gave replacement 81 minutes, allowing you to exit cheered by a crowd rendered between the arms that lifted Angela Merkel.
The stadium thundered with the surname of the front, the same as the legendary Gerd Müller. By then few had eyes to see the frustrated look of a certain Cristiano Ronaldo.
