Germany's teenage sensation Jamal Musiala on Monday credited his England youth period for helping him develop his creative game that has quickly turned him into one of the rising stars of the sport.
The 19-year-old, after a stellar season start with Bayern Munich where he has scored nine goals and delivered six assists, is expected to be Germany's conductor in attack, operating between central midfield and the front line.
“I think a comparison with Messi is something like an honour,” Musiala said. “He has plays at the top level for so long and to be compared with him is a bit difficult. I just focus on me and what I can do better as Jamal and keep going.” Musiala cut his teeth in England as a youngster, running through the national youth system all the way to the England Under-21 but then opted to play for his country of birth, dealing a huge blow to coach Gareth Southgate's senior England team.
