Thomas Muller 'not concerned' by lack of goals

Germany forward Thomas Muller insists that his lack of goals at Euro 2016 is not bothering him ahead of Thursday's semi-final against France.

Thomas Muller has insisted that 'goals are not what fuels him' after thus far failing to find the back of the net at Euro 2016.

The Bayern Munich forward was Germany's top scorer in qualification for this summer's tournament in France, but has not yet registered in the finals.

Muller, however, has said that the success of the team will always be more important than personal glories ahead of Thursday's semi-final against the hosts France.

"Goals are not what fuels me. They are maybe the paint job to my car, to look good to the outside. But I am fuelled by my desire for success," Muller told reporters.

"Sure, I would have liked to score. But in South Africa, I finished the World Cup as the top scorer. I missed out in the semi-final with a suspension and we went home. I enjoyed Brazil a lot more. But a goal would help as I would not to have to answer questions about me not scoring anymore."

The 26-year-old has scored 32 times in 76 appearances for the German national team.
