The goal that put Germany in the round of 16 was from Goretzka. But without the help of an 18-year-old boy, neither the leather would have entered nor the Mannschaft would have passed. This is Jamal Musiala, Bayern Munich pearl whom Löw, desperately, introduced with eight minutes remaining and with the score against Hungary. And Musiala resolved the ballot, starting on the left wing the play that ended in the tie and in the pass to the second round for his team. “I had nothing to lose,” explained the Bayern youth squad after the final whistle.
The same will happen next Tuesday at Wembley, where Germany will face England in a very morbid duel due to the presence of Musiala himself. He has both nationalities and played for the inferiors of the English until Löw convinced him to switch sides and made him debut in March. In Germany they are already asking that, in London, he start betting on him instead of a gray Sané who could not convince in what was his first EURO start against Hungary. Musiala returns home. And it may be at eleven.
