Jamal Musiala didn’t want to linger too long on his bad luck from the penalty spot in the cup. “He showed a very positive reaction,” said coach Thomas Tuchel about the young star of FC Bayern Munich. The 20-year-old caused the decisive hand penalty in injury time in the defeat in the quarter-finals of the cup against SC Freiburg (1-2).
“Sometimes it’s better not to hack around and talk about it 20 times,” said Tuchel before the quick reunion with the Breisgauers on Saturday (3:30 p.m. / Sky) in the Bundesliga. Musiala, who was substituted on twice after tearing a hamstring, could then be in the starting XI. “He’s absolutely ready to start,” said Tuchel. Ahead of the injured Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (10 goals), international Musiala is Bayern’s top scorer in the league with eleven goals.
“He’s a smart boy. There were also mistakes in the creation before, a chain of things that we can do better. The situation is unfortunate,” Tuchel defended the most valuable German professional in the history of Transfermarkt with a market value of 110 million euros. Musiala also felt the support of his teammates. “The dressing room is top notch, everyone is ready to help immediately.” The Munich team want to consolidate their lead in the Bundesliga with a win.
