Jamal Musiala is currently in absolute top form at FC Bayern. On Saturday afternoon, the 21-year-old was the best man on the pitch in the 5:2 win against Darmstadt. After the game, Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel gave him special praise,butthe 50-year-oldalsoemphasisedthat Musiala has not always performed at this level during the season.
Jamal Musiala has scored a total of seven goals in the last three Bundesliga games. The 21-year-old was Man of the Match against Darmstadt with two goals and an assist. After the clash, Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel commented on his protégé and his form so far this season.
„Jamal has been very decisive in recent weeks, we’re always happy with him, his potential is outstanding. However, his effectiveness this season has not been what we were used to for a long time, as he would like it to be. Now he feels fit and very comfortable in his position and the automatisms are working a bit better. That’s why he’s very decisive for us now, and he was decisive again today,“ said the 50-year-old
Thomas Tuchel: „We can rely on him“
Tuchel added: „You can rely on him for the last few games, he’s hard-working and has now reached a very good level. The mixture of dribbling and passing, as well as his decision-making, is very good at the moment. We hope that he can maintain this level now. We will continue to push him because he will be crucial for us.“
The Bayern coach is alluding to the Bayern youngster’s weaker first half of the year. Musiala only scored three Bundesliga goals in this period and often failed to make the right decisions. In addition, the 21-year-old often had to deal with injury worries. Now, however, the spell seems to have been broken for Musiala once and for all.
