Jamal Musiala (18 years old), jewel of the future of Bayern Munich, is in his fantastic week. Goal to Barcelona in the Champions League; both of Bayern’s victory against Mainz, which also meant the 100th victory of their coach, Julian Nagelsmann, in the Bundesliga (he does it at only 34 years old). And finally, the praises of your technician. It is not for less. Six goals in 21 games this season.
After the game against Mainz, Nagelsmann surrendered to the step forward that Musiala has taken in this first leg of the campaign. “He has given up his Bambi status. At some point, you stop being just talent. He should keep this street football gene, but he doesn’t have to become Gennaro Gattuso.”, in statements that collects AZ Munchen.
Musiala already dazzled last season (Thiago’s departure opened the door for him) but in this season he is being fundamental for Nagelsmann as a different piece in the midfield of the German champion. The ‘child prodigy’ of the benches has asked him to be more aggressive both with the ball and without the ball, and Musiala has responded.
