Uli Geness: "Comparing Musiala to Maradona is crazy"

Honorary President of Bayern Munich Uli Geness spoke about the young talents of the German national team, Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz.

Jamal Musiala

"I am a friend to Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz. Each of us knows that I would like to see Wirtz at Bayern Munich. I think the hype around them distorts reality. Under such pressure, they cannot develop in the right direction.

I think it's crazy to compare Jamala to Maradona. It does not benefit young players. There is no doubt that they can get there. But I think you can't put pressure on young players with such comparisons," Bild quoted Geness as saying.
