BERLIN: Bayern Munich’s rising star Jamal Musiala suggests that the German national team’s best ap-proach to Euro 2024 is to forget about pressure and focus on finding their rhythm and chemistry as a team.

In an interview with Xinhua, the 20-year-old emphasized that putting additional pressure on themselves won’t help the struggling tournament hosts regain confidence.

According to Musiala, leaving behind recent disappointing performances is the right strategy, considering there is still ample time for the 2014 World Cup winners to get in top shape for the tournament. The Stuttgart-born forward believes that responsibility lies with the players to utilize the upcoming season to reach their peak performance. Re-flecting on past early exits at the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, Musiala stressed that such burdens are now a thing of the past, adding that he is optimistic about the future and views “positive energy” as the most promising recipe for success in the 2024 tournament. Rated as the German league’s most valuable player by the football portal Trans-fermarkt, at 110 million euros, Musiala has shown dedication to his craft. IANS
