Nagelsmann believes that Wirtz and Musiala will win the Ballon d’Or

National coach Julian Nagelsmann believes that Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala can follow in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. “Both have the potential to win the Ballon d’Or,” said Nagelsmann about his two magical legs after the furious opening of the League of Nations against Hungary (5-0).

Ronaldo won the prestigious award five times and Messi eight times. This year Wirtz is nominated, Musiala is not. “They have the talent, they can do everything,” said Nagelsmann “Wusiala”.

Wirtz scored one goal and assisted one against Hungary, Musiala even surpassed his fellow teammate with a goal and three assists. “Their hard work is essential,” Nagelsmann said as he complained about the “nice, normal people,” none of whom were “outside the situation.”

The team was also enthusiastic. “When Flo and Jamal were excited again – that was a joy to see. It’s hard to stop,” said Niclas Füllkrug: “We’re very happy to have both of them in the team, that’s a gift. we’re going to have a lot of fun in the next few years.”
