Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala worked their magic together on the pitch during the German national team’s 2-0 win over France on Saturday evening. Afterwards, Bayern star Musiala raved about playing with Wirtz.
„I feel comfortable with Flo both on and off the pitch,“ revealed Jamal Musiala after the match against the French side. The 21-year-old continued: „We talk to each other a lot and always look to see where the other is when we start dribbling. The connection between us gets better with every game.“
Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann will also need such a talented and well-functioning attacking axis to be successful at the European Championships. In any case, Musiala and Wirtz have made their case for further teamwork in the DFB squad in the 2-0 win against France. Next Tuesday they will face the Netherlands in Frankfurt. In mid-June, things will get serious for Wirtz and Musiala at the upcoming European Championship tournament.
Those responsible at FC Bayern will also be following the strong teamwork of Musiala and Wirtz in the national team with interest – because Munich have been interested in Wirtz for a long time. It is possible that he will also form a duo with Musiala at the German record champions at some point.
Jamal Musiala: Also words of praise for Ilkay Gündogan
Musiala not only spoke about playing with Wirtz, who is currently having a sensational season with Bayer Leverkusen, but also about Ilkay Gündogan: „We can play with him, he’s the captain, has more experience than us and always plays in the centre,“ Musiala said about Wirtz and himself.
„We rotated all three of them again and again, which felt good. We actually played with three tens and always looked to see where the spaces were. That was really fun. We saw and felt that everyone really enjoyed playing together. You could see our quality,“ added Musiala.
