European Championship quarter-finals - Duel of the super quartet: "Wusiala" against Spain's "Wamal"
In the EM quarterfinals between Germany and Spain, the four talented players Jamal Musiala, Florian Wirtz, Nico Williams (all 21), and Lamine Yamal (16) will face each other for the first time on Friday in Stuttgart. The German football magicians have already earned their collective nickname: "Wusiala". The Spanish equivalent would be "Wamal". If the Four continue on their path, they could shape an era.
Jamal Musiala:Birthday: 21st February 2003 - Birthplace: Stuttgart - Club: FC Bayern Munchen - International appearances/Goals: 33/5
These words sound like a threat to the competition. "I believe I can play even better." Better than very good, so. After a taste of the EM 2021 and the disappointing World Cup 2022 with too many missed opportunities, the Munich native is on his way to becoming an EM superstar. The magic of dribbling he has always controlled. Now, with three goals, he is also a finisher. National coach Julian Nagelsmann demanded a better "quote" from Musiala and received it. More goals at an EM tournament have been scored for Germany only by Gerd Muller and Dieter Muller in the 70s.
Florian Wirtz:Birthday: 3rd May 2003 - Birthplace: Pulheim-Brauweiler - Club: Bayer Leverkusen - International appearances/Goals: 22/2
The first bang came from the 21-year-old. With his goal in the opening match against Scotland, the Leverkusener simply continued where he left off at Bayer. Playing beautiful and magical football on the grass. The long and successful club season demands its price. Double winner Wirtz looked tired. He got a rest in the starting lineup for the round of 16 against Denmark. His comeback in the starting eleven is expected. There is no shortage of support. "He is an outstanding footballer. Everyone wants to see him," said DFB sports director Rudi Voeller.
Nico Williams:Birthday: 12th July 2002 - Birthplace: Pamplona - Club: Athletic Bilbao - International appearances/Goals: 17/3
The left winger with the distinctive hairdo - blond highlights in the pigtails - climbed the tribune high after the quarterfinal victory against Georgia to embrace his big brother Inaki. He also plays in Bilbao and is like a father figure for Nico. The parents had fled from Ghana. Nicholas Williams, as his real name is, is one of the most coveted strikers in world football. The buyout clause at the Baskens is said to be 60 million euros. Against Italy, he put in a spectacular performance. Against Georgia, he scored the 3:1 and danced with his friend Yamal after the final whistle.
Lamine Yamal:
Birthday: 13th July 2007 - Birthplace: Esplugues de Llobregat - Club: FC Barcelona - International appearances/Goals: 11/2
One day before the finale, Supertalent is 17 years old. In Spain and also at the EM, he broke all age records. When King Felipe VI. shook hands with the players after the victory against Croatia in the cabin, he stopped at Yamal and asked him how old he was. "He's only sixteen!", the monarch then exclaimed surprised. The dribbling artist passed his high school graduation exam during the EM, according to information from the radio station Cope, and he reportedly passed the exam. The right winger from the famous football academy La Masia provided the assist for the 2:1 against Georgia through Fabián Ruiz during the victory.
