FIFA World Cup: Musiala heads to Qatar 2022 on fine form with Germany

The Hindu  

One of Germany’s top players at the World Cup in Qatar could easily have been in the England squad. Bayern Munich’s attacking midfielder Jamal Musiala represented England at junior level before finally opting for Germany last year after being persuaded by then-coach Joachim Löw. Musiala underlined his case for a starting role at the World Cup with a crucial role in Bayern’s 2-0 win over Schalke on Saturday. Among Musiala’s admirers is 1990 World Cup-winning captain Lothar Matthäus, who urged Bayern to put him at the heart of the team for years to come, like Barcelona did with Lionel Messi for over a decade. Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann praised Musiala’s “quick and lively feet” and suggested his fast footwork sometimes made hard work look like good fortune, with the youngster always seeming to be first to a rebound.
