Joachim Low hails "clever" Thomas Muller

Germany coach Joachim Low has praised Thomas Muller following his impressive start to the World Cup in Brazil.

The forward is currently at the top of the Golden Boot standings with four goals, alongside Argentina's Lionel Messi and Brazil's Neymar.

"All our opponents find him hard to handle because his runs are very clever and he keeps popping up in the box," Low is quoted as saying by Goal.com.

"He's been in great form for weeks now, and with him I have the feeling the moves and runs come easily to him."

Germany return to action on Monday when they face Nigeria in the second round of the tournament.
