Bayern Munich criticizes Hamann's "unreasonable" comments toward Musiala
After facing some harsh criticisms from football analyst Dietmar Hamann towards young talent Jamal Musiala, Bayern Munich's sports director, Christoph Freund, has spoken up in defense. Freund considered the criticism to be "preposterous" and absurd, highlighting that such players are highly valued in other countries. He expressed his strong belief that Musiala would shape the next decade not only for the German football team but also for Bayern Munich.
Freund went on to show his excitement and gratitude in having such a talented and exceptional player on their team. He mentioned that Musiala is an absolute team player and a true professional, always driven to improve. He further expressed his belief that Musiala has the potential to become one of the best players in the world, and Germany should be proud of having him.
Musiala should establish his legacy at Bayern Munich
Freund highlighted the importance of renewing Musiala's contract, which expires in 2026. "This is a crucial personnel matter for our future," Freund said, adding that discussions about extending his contract are ongoing. They hope to reach a positive outcome and keep him with the team for the long term, so he can establish a legacy at Bayern Munich.
Coach Vincent Kompany also chimed in, praising Musiala. He compared Musalia's skill to that of top players he has seen during his career and encouraged him to continue his path to becoming one of the top players globally.
On the other hand, Hamann had criticized Musiala in his Sky column, labeling him as an "individual player" and "entertainer". He believes that Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz is a better option from Bayern's perspective, as Wirtz's playstyle benefits his teammates, while Musiala's excessive dribbling can disrupt the flow of the game.
Christoph Freund expressed his gratitude for having Christoph's friend, Jamal Musiala, on Bayern Munich's team, highlighting his exceptional talent and team spirit. During their discussions about renewing Musiala's contract, Freund emphasized the importance of keeping him with the team to establish a lasting legacy at Bayern Munich.
