Nagelsmann lauds 'snake legs' Musiala ahead of World Cup tilt
Berlin, Germany - Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann has lauded forward Jamal Musiala's development, saying the
teenager can be "even better" for Germany at the World Cup in Qatar.
Musiala, who grew up in England and represented the Three Lions at junior level but switched allegiance to Germany, set up both of Bayern's goals in their 20 win away at Schalke.
Nagelsmann said Musiala, who now has nine goals and six assists in 15 games this season, was committed to developing and improving his game.
"Jamal Musiala has again set up two goals. He played an outstanding first half and will hopefully play even better in the World Cup and the second half
of the (Bundesliga) season," Nagelsmann told German television. "He listens well, also wants to develop in defence and has developed extremely well.
"He has extremely lively feet, like snake legs - the rebounds al-ways seem to land in front of
his feet."
Musiala became the youngest Bayern player to notch up 100 Bundesliga games at 19 years and 259 days on Saturday night,
Bayern Munich captain Manuel Neuer said he is "happy" Musiala elected to play for Ger
many rather than England.
"He is a very important - a key player. We are happy that he's with Bayern and also with the national team," Neuer told Sky.
Musiala said the three points would give his side a "good feeling" ahead of the World Cup break.
