Jamal Musiala is currently working his way back to fitness when Bayern Munich exec Uli Hoeneß publicly voiced his concern over the massive contract that the club gave to the 23-year-old and doubted if he could ever get back to fitness and form. This did not sit well with a portion of the fanbase, but Rudi Völler tried to see things from both sides.
“I’m convinced that he [Musiala] will return to his previous level,” Völler said on DAZN Germany (as captured by X account @iMiaSanMia). “There’s no reason
to be skeptical about that. I firmly believe that we will see Jamal Musiala performing at the very highest level at many, many tournaments. He’s still very young. Jamal has had to deal with a few setbacks, but things are moving in the right direction. He has everyone’s full support.”
The former Germany international and one-time caretaker manager decided to defend Bayern’s honorary president. “We all know Uli. Perhaps he likes to provoke a bit in his own way. But he never means any harm by that,” the 66-year-old explained. “Uli has always protected his players and offered them his support. He might praise one player while being a little more critical of another, but deep down, he loves them all.”
