The young German international spoke about his rapport with his head coach in comments captured by @iMiaSanMia . “He’s a fantastic coach, also a fantastic person, and I can talk to him a lot. He’s also had injuries, he’s experienced a lot, which he feels himself and knows how you think in such a situation.
And it’s also a good feeling that I can talk to him so openly. The understanding is really helpful,” Musiala stated. This is one of those aspects where being a player’s coach really means something.
Not only for the on-field exploits Kompany can recall back on from his own experiences as a Manchester City player, but his battles through the troubled times and the lows of a playing career. Hopefully, it will help Musiala come back stronger. Germany needs that at the World Cup this summer.
