England Musiala >>> GERMANY
1 WC 4 WC
0 EU 3 EU
So why he not said where he was born ?
Haha the man sounds butt hurt that the guy chose Germany apparently he thinks Germany overpowered already 🤣
obviously this guys never heard Chelsea's coaches talking about Musiala, They said that Musiala was very ver close with his german roots, that the kid had a very fluid english but he always spoke german in his home and he traveled all the time to Germany while he was living in England. Also they and Musiala said, Jamal picked to play for under 15, 17 and 21 in England because he was living in England and he knew the players because he was facing them every week and that would help him in his develop. It was a smart move from his family and himself, he said he didnt knew the guys in low divisions in Germany so he would be like a stranger. All that changed in a move to Bayern, where he knows the best player for Germany will be playing all the time in Germany, now and in the future, so he gonna have the chemistry infield and outfield, there's no brainer.
Haha that last part about Bayern Munich. Someone joked about facing Kimmich in the locker room had Musiala turned down Germany for England.
By the way: "When you're working in Germany, speak German and you live with your German mum, it's very difficult to persuade him that he's actually English" – Aidy Boothroyd. The reason he played with the England youth teams earlier in his life was because he didn't know the German kids and knew all the English ones. Now that he's returned to Germany he's gotten familiar with the system, with the current internationals and other top German talents – Florian Wirtz and Torben Rhein for example.
Why play for England? Stats wise, his chances of winning any national silverware is none if he plays for England.
England should have gone all heart in to keep Musiala. This kind of talent rarely comes to football
I wont even say England FA is stupid because they are same association who mismanaged Scholes, Gerrard and Lampard in their primes.
