Jamal Musiala, the 21-year-old forward for Bayern Munich and England, has captured the attention of the entire country hosting the 2024 UEFA Euro tournament with his unique culinary preferences. Videos of him enjoying Swabian specialty dish, "Maultaschen", have flooded social media channels and fans can't get enough.
After his team's 2-0 victory over Hungary in their second Group A match, securing their spot in the last-16, Musiala shared his love for the dish, saying, "I just love them and I've already had my first one. There will definitely be more to follow later." Despite growing up and receiving his football education in England with Chelsea, Musiala was actually born in Stuttgart, the capital of the Swabia region, which seems to have influenced his taste buds.
Tens of thousands of fans have shown their support for Germany's tournament surprise by liking and sharing videos of Musiala enjoying his favorite dish. It seems that football is not the only thing that can put a smile on the young player's face, as his performances on the pitch have been nothing short of exciting and impressive, earning him 30 caps for his national team.
While the English media praises Musiala's transformation from a rookie nicknamed "Bambi" to a formidable player, the Daily Mail questions why he was allowed to play for Germany after representing England at the under-21 level. In January 2021, former German coach Joachim Loew convinced Musiala to join the German team, outlining his potential and future with the team.
Musiala claims that he has "grown out of the state of a start-up" and has gained physical strength, allowing him to enjoy the "on-pitch freedom" given to him by German coach Julian Nagelsmann. Nagelsmann himself has urged the young player to ignore the pressure and play with the same joy and passion as if he were in a school playground. Musiala's exceptional dribbling skills and two goals in the first two games of the tournament have left fans and teammates alike in awe.
Even the German captain and Barcelona midfielder, Ilkay Gundogan, couldn't help but praise Musiala, calling him a "genius" and his performance and development "breathtaking". Musiala was even named "UEFA Player of the Match" in Germany's first game against Scotland, but it was Gundogan who took the crown in their match against Hungary due to his impressive performance. However, Musiala's youth and undeniable talent have made him the talk of the European continent, with international media praising his skills.
Looking forward, Musiala is determined to continue his impressive form and help his team in their upcoming games. "It's our goal to take this momentum into the next games," he said. And with the confidence he has gained from his performances so far, he is ready to make the most of any opportunities he gets on the pitch. As he was substituted off in the 72nd minute of the match against Hungary, he was met with enthusiastic applause from the crowd, a clear sign that he has won the hearts of German fans. It's safe to say that Musiala's star is only on the rise and we can't wait to see what the future holds for this talented young player.
