“I see Wirtz and Musiala as our Ribéry and Robben. Those are the players who make the decisive move in key moments. If I were playing with Wirtz, I would simply give him the ball as often as possible, because he needs the ball to make his game more dominant, to bring in his ideas. I think he has incredible vision in his play,” Schweinsteiger instructed Sport Bild and went on to look again on the help Wirtz offered for Serge Gnabry again in March.

“When I think back to his pass against Switzerland to Serge Gnabry, I say: not many players make passes like that – especially with that level of precision. If Musiala and Wirtz can get going, then I am very, very confident.”

As for Musiala, Schweinsteiger believes the 23-year-old has made important progress in direction of discovering again to his prime degree following the intense harm he suffered final summer season.

“You can clearly see his improvement from game to game, also in terms of minutes played,” he said.

“Serge Gnabry’s injury has accelerated things a bit. But Jamal seems to me to be back on the right track. The last five to ten percent might still be missing, but I’m very, very positive about it. If you listen around abroad to find out who excites people, you very often hear the name Musiala.”
