Mueller: Vancouver fans thank me for joining and even not signing. I received a gift of leather pants for jersey No. 13

September 5th Thomas Mueller said that Vancouver's "football fever" has made him excited, and the White Captain star is adapting to life outside Germany.

He said: "I've heard a lot about Canadian hospitality. But what's going on in Vancouver is so cool. People in the whole city suddenly fall into football fanatics. People come and thank me when walking or buying coffee in the city. Not for autographs, but because I chose Vancouver White Waves. 'Thank you for choosing our city, Thomas!' I heard this over and over again. It really gives you goosebumps when people are so proud that you can be a part of their city."

The former German international wore a No. 13 jersey when he won the World Cup, and the young Canadian midfielder gave the number to him. As a thank you, Muller gave Prisso a special Bavarian gift.

"When I got the No. 13 jersey from Ralph Prisso, I knew very well that I needed to give him an authentic Bavarian gift, and what better than a pair of real leather pants? Ralph was so happy that he even came to the court in leather pants when we first played together, it was really casual. In North America, the players were all wearing their own clothes to play, and he immediately took the opportunity to show it."
