Former Germany coach Joachim Löw has revealed the commitment he made to Jamal Musiala ahead of the player’s decision to join the German national team in 2021, Kicker reported on Monday. 

Musiala was eligible to play for his native Germany and England, where he spent most of his teenage years, twice capturing England’s Under-21 side, but opted for the Germans, making his debut as a substitute in a 3-0 win over Iceland in a 2022 World Cup qualifier on 25 March 2021, before taking part in the Euros that summer. 

‘Oliver Bierhoff and I travelled to Munich in the spring of 2021 and spoke to him, and of course his parents. He grew up in England, has friends there and trained there all the time.’

‘He had already made up his mind to play for England or Germany. During my time as national team coach, I promised a player that even though he was not a regular at Bayern, I told him that he would definitely be part of the squad for Euro 2021 if he decided to play with us,’ Löw said. ( vox888 )
