FC Bayern: reactions to Musiala injury- “unfortunately dramatic”

Vincent Kompany switched to the more familiar English in order to be able to express all his pain over the terribly viewing injury to Jamal Musiala. “What brings my blood to cook is not the result. But the fact that it happened to someone who enjoys the game so much and is so important for us”said the Bayern coach translated into German. Company’s voice floated.

The emotional deep blow of the Musiala drama overlaid everything else in the FC Bayern entourage, which had to go home after the difficult to digest 0-2 (0-0) against Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday before the final week in New York.

Thomas Müller’s Bavaria’s part after the 756th competitive game was not the big emotional topic on a day when Bayern, like in the Champions League against Inter Milan, now also failed at the club World Cup in the quarter-finals.

Sports board member Max Eberl looked up his own team “Eye level” With the best on the globe. But PSG scored two goals through Desiré Doué (78th minute) and Ousmane Dembélé (90.+6). The latter even when Bayern acted after two red cards for William Pacho (81st) and Lucas Hernández (90.+2) with eleven against nine. And rather headless.

Afterwards, however, practically everything revolved around Musiala and the badly twisted left foot, on which the 1.96 meter tall PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma crashed with full force at the end of the first half. It was a shock moment for everyone, a scene that is difficult to look at. The emotions also escaped to Donnarumma. Neuer called the action of the goalkeeper colleague “Already keen to risk. You accept the injury”.

He even had to ask Donnarumma on the pitch to go to the Musiala, which was carried away later. “The Jamal is there, it will probably stay in the hospital, he has a serious injury. It just belongs out of respect, going to go, wishing him all the best and letting a little sorry”newly instructed the Italian.

The 26-year-old Donnarumma, of course, had worked deeply after the campaign. And after the game he reacted with a message via Instagram: “All of my prayers and good wishes are with you, Jamal Musiala.”

First of all, the 22-year-old Musiala will need doctors. After the first reports not confirmed by the association, the fibula is broken. Bands are torn on the foot. An operation will be necessary. And follow a break of months. “Unfortunately, this is dramatic”said Max Eberl.

The sports director was also “compatible”. And even if he didn’t want to reproach Donnarumma, he said it in the stadium. “If I jump on my lower leg with 100 kilos and a sprint, there is a great risk that something happens”said Eberl. But intentions, he emphasized, was certainly at the PSG goalkeeper “zero comma zero” was in the game.

Nevertheless, the misfortune of Musiala, which had only returned to the tournament from a longer injury break, is currently changing a lot at FCB. Eberl promised Musiala that the club would be there “To rebuild and accompany him on his journey, which will definitely not be easy”.

That of the record champions continues without the veteran Müller. The 35-year-old takes off the Bayern jersey without a happy ending. Couldn’t Müller remain as a bridging aid after Musialas failure? In such a way “tasteless discussions”After a close colleague had just injured himself, Müller declined. “Just because you can get some mind games on the table now, it has nothing to do with reality.”

What are the Bayern realities after this club World Cup? Müller must go. Leroy Sané went free of charge. And Musiala fails for the time being. The pressure on action on the offensive increases, the transfer goal Nick Woltemade is getting hotter. The 23-year-old shooting star from the DFB Cup winner VfB Stuttgart is dangerous-and could fill out the vacant ten position.

“I think it is a very, very good player who would suit us”Said Honorary President Uli Hoeneß (73) just a few hours before the Musiala shock. “And I would very much welcome it if it works this year. And if not, then next year.” Immediately now would be better.

In any case, Bayern have to do something if they don’t want to congratulate teams like Paris internationally. “We will reward ourselves – at some point”said Neuer defiantly. The oldest, and at the same time the best Bayern player at this World Cup, said goodbye to America.

The 39-year-old explained the optically at eye level with PSG “To the model” and announced: “We want to attack again in Europe! We also want to be back in the Bundesliga and in the DFB Cup!”

First of all, however, it’s on vacation. Kompany grants his professionals for three weeks. “There is no less. It is important that the boys can also switch off mentally”he said. Without much preparation, on August 16, the National Supercup will be back on the first small title. And that in Stuttgart, against VfB – and against Nick Woltemade?
