“He is not a match winner”

In a talent group, the former coach of the German record champion comments on the playful development of the young Bayern star. The club itself also gets criticism.
Felix Magath misses significant progress in the playful development of Jamal Musiala – and thus indirectly criticizes FC Bayern Munich. “Musiala is exceptionally good in his individual skills,” said the long -time Bundesliga coach on Sunday evening at “Sky90”. “But he is not a match winner in the Champions League yet.” In fact, the 21-year-old has strong statistics in the Bundesliga in the current season (10 goals and 3 assist in 17 games), but in the “premier class” only distinguished by the winning goal in 1-0 against Benfica Lisbon (a total of 2 goals and 4 templates in 8 games).
The allegation of FC Bayern: Top talents like Musiala would play at a high level, but would not make any further progress there. “You have to develop young players,” Magath continued.
Even more: there is nothing to try out players in different positions. “You can’t leave them alone, but you have to give them guidance and also the position. If I put a player in a position where he doesn’t feel comfortable, then I break up every player. Everyone. Also experienced players.”
This statement in turn was coined on the Mathys Tel willing to change, which has been used in various positions on the offensive in his previous time in Munich.
Constance is what young players particularly needed to make progress. “I have always had my doubts about the method of setting up another team every week,” continued the 71-year-old. “The most important thing for a player is security, and if a player has no security, but sometimes plays from the start, comes in, sometimes goes out, sometimes watching – I don’t get any security.”
At Bayern Munich it is the case that you want to “do justice to everyone”. “They have so much money that they have theoretically equivalent players in every position. But: it doesn’t develop. The players keep their status, but nobody gets better.” For him, this is “the error in the system”.
