Take a walk back in Bayern Munich’s history…
Former Bayern Munich scout and technical director Marco Neppe played a big role in the club’s signing of Jamal Musiala from Chelsea and recently recalled the conversations he had with the budding superstar before he signed.
“With Jamal, it was a conversation that was different to all others before, especially given his age. I cannot remember a conversation like it in my life. You expect different answers when you meet an 18-year-old person to a 30-year-old person or whatever,” Neppe told Sky Germany (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). “He surprised me with how clear he was with his goals and ambitions. He was sure about the next step, what he needed to improve, which World Cup he wanted to play in, and I was like, wow, this personality I did not expect. Everything was so clear with him.
“He was just so prepared. This is a conversation with the technical director of Bayern Munich, so these are my questions, these are my answers. It came from his heart but he was so focused. On the plane back to Munich, I was like, wow, you will remember this.”
As it turns out, Neppe’s first instincts on Musiala have proven to be correct. Not to shabby, eh?
