After soccer great Hamann criticized Bayern Munich starlet Musiala, another German soccer legend, Matthäus, was quick to come to the defense of the young player. In an interview with Picture Post, Mateus expressed his strong disagreement with Hamann's views and elaborated on Musiala's actual performance on the pitch and his team spirit.
Mateusz began by pointing out that Hamann is a man who likes to give unique insights, but this time his assessment of Musiala was inaccurate. Mateusz emphasized that Musiala is by no means a player who just plays alone. On the contrary, he will flexibly adjust his style of play according to the situation on the field, not only can show his individual breakthrough ability when needed, but also can keenly detect and pass the ball to teammates who are in the open space.
To prove his point, Mateus gave two specific examples. In Germany's match against Hungary, Musiala had the opportunity to score on his own shot, but he chose a more secure way of passing the ball and eventually assisted Phil Kruger to score a goal. This move demonstrated Musiala's professionalism in putting the interests of the team first.
In addition, Mateus also mentioned the outstanding performance of Musiala against the Netherlands. At that time, the Dutch defender Derek Richter made a mistake, Musiala quickly stepped forward to intercept and successfully break the ball, this defensive action not only shows his defensive ability, but also proves once again that he is not afraid of physical confrontation, the courage to fight for the spirit of style.
Mateusz concluded that Musiala is a player who is happy to play for the team, who is never selfish, always actively hustling and looking for the best moment to pass the ball. Therefore, he is fully entitled and necessary to have the freedom to play with the ball in order to make the best judgment according to the situation on the field. Mateusz's defense not only does justice to Musiala, but also highlights once again the young player's potential and value in German football.
