Uli Hoeneß demands a regular place for Jamal Musiala in the national team and at FC Bayern. He showed himself to be a “big fan” of the 19-year-old.
Jamal Musiala is considered a great World Cup hope for Germany. Uli Hoeneß has also shown himself to be a “big fan” – and at the same time demanded a regular place for the youngster.
Especially at the beginning of the season, Jamal Musiala showed why he is praised so often and clearly at just 19 years old. Even if the last few weeks and games have been more mixed than absolute top class, he is rightly considered one of the most exciting youngsters in professional football.
An opinion that Uli Hoeneß would sign immediately. He made that clear on Monday evening when he attended RTL to the Germany drew 3-3 with England expressed.
Musiala fan Hoeneß demands a regular place
“I’m a big fan,” he clarified directly in reference to Musiala. The Honorary President of FC Bayern continued: “Before the game he was put under endless pressure. One thought that the Messiah was playing. He withstood the pressure.”
“He won the penalty before the first goal and took the ball from Maguire before the second goal,” he said, praising the young attacker’s influence. Then he became even clearer: “Jamal is a player who, if he plays like he does today, has to be a seed for FC Bayern and the national team.”
He not only made a clear statement towards Hansi Flick, but also towards Julian Nagelsmann. The FCB coach has only allowed Musiala to play the full 90 minutes in just one game so far. But he was only in two games not in the starting XI.
However, Musiala has recently been unable to consistently show the performances that had focused on him at the beginning of the season. To that end, he could not exempt himself from the general Bayern form weakness. Against the Three Lions, on the other hand, he played more freely, so he could have a greater impact on the game.
The fact that Hoeneß demands that the native of Stuttgart has to play almost always had another connection. He explained that the national team would also have an advantage if Munich got going again at club level in a timely manner.
“Now they have the opportunity to get in shape over the next six weeks. Our team [Bayern] didn’t play well lately. If our players get in shape, the national team will also benefit,” he explained. Then Manuel Neuer, Thomas Müller, Leroy Sané – and Musiala – would become more valuable for the DFB selection again.
