Jamal Musiala: What is now coming to him and FC Bayern

Jamal Musiala on the operating table, the teammates on a long -awaited vacation – and what does the sports director do next? “I will work,” said Max Eberl, before the Bayern Tross is supposed to end up in Munich again after 27 days at the club World Cup in the USA.

At the airport, Eberl and coach Vincent Kompany are released the football professionals in the urgently needed relaxation until the end of the month. “First of all, the boys should switch off. This is elementary important,” said Eberl. Captain Manuel Neuer also announces that he just wants to “switch off”, because: “That was a tough, exhausting season,” said the 39 -year -old goalkeeper.

Not everyone can switch off in all year round FC Bayern Munich. The German press agency outlines who what is going on until mini preparation for the next season, which begins in mid-August.

It is not known which holiday destination Jamal Musiala wanted to control. Now the 22-year-old spends the summer on sick leave. After his broken fabric and various injuries to the ankle, the operation in the BG accident clinic Murnau, in which goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was operated on after his worse lower leg broken during ski touring at the end of 2022, a long reha for the national player. There can be no date for his return to the soccer field.

The way to the comeback is “definitely not easy,” said Eberl. The record champion will have to contest the majority of the first half of the season without his fixed point in the game. And national coach Julian Nagelsmann guarantees the complete World Cup qualification of the national team, which ends in November.

Max Eberl has to fix the construction sites of the squad together with sports director Christoph Freund and Trainer Kompany. Musialas failure increases the pressure to act in the offensive department. Florian Wirtz would now be a stroke of luck, but Uli Hoeneß ‘wish player went to Liverpool FC.

Eberl should reduce personnel costs (“I have to save, I have to save”) and buy quality at the same time. Stuttgart’s shooting star Nick Woltemade remains a target object. Especially since the 23-year-old could play exactly on the position, which is vacant without a Musiala; Even if Serge Gnabry is considered a ten-backup.

“We have a learning from last season. We don’t have to do that much,” said Eberl surprisingly after the World Cup. Kingsley Coman is no longer a sales candidate. In contrast to João Palhinha, who did not play a role at the tournament in the USA.

Even if almost 50 million euros in the World Cup prize money flowed into the Bayern treasury, the very big dollar blessing did not exist in the states due to the too early KO. Also the stay with the big rush in the fine resort in Orlando – partly with partners and children of the players – “cost a few million”, as Eberl reported without a precise numbers.

The 39-year-old Kompany became the German champion in his first season in Munich. Bringing back the shell from Leverkusen was important. And otherwise? Right-wing final in the DFB Cup and internationally outwardly out in the quarter-finals; Only in Europe’s premier class against Inter Milan and now at the club World Cup. “We cannot say that we did not perform. It was more in it,” was Kompany’s conclusion after the 0: 2 against Paris Saint-Germain.

The Belgian wants to form a winning team, as PSG coach Luis Enrique created it. “Such situations increase the motivation for me,” he said after the World Cup. The preparation starts at the end of July. Bayern could catch up with the aftermath of the World Cup in the first phase of the season-and not only because Musialas will be missing magic. Company is required.
