Musiala has credited Miroslav Klose, his coach in Bayern’s under-17 side, with helping turn an attack-minded youngster into a more complete player. In his own account, Klose repeatedly demanded that he track back and defend, lessons Musiala later recognised as important to reaching the first team. His first invitation to senior training arrived by phone while he was out jogging in Munich at 17.Source: The Players’ Tribune · Jamal Musiala ↗

The family’s move to England was connected to his mother completing her studies. Musiala recalled learning English through football and forming an early friendship with Levi Colwill. When the opportunity to train with Bayern’s senior team later arrived, his mother still drove him to the session, a familiar family routine at an extraordinary career moment.Source: The Players’ Tribune · Jamal Musiala ↗
