Bayern Munich fan favorite Jamal Musiala has been out of the game for a long time, or at least, he was, until he hit the ground running for the club again recently. He has never been one to hide behind excuses. And even now, as he continues his return from injury, that mindset has not changed.<\/p>\n

Speaking after Bayern\u2019s game against Frankfurt in an interview captures by @iMiaSanMia<\/a>, the 21-year-old admitted he is still searching for full rhythm. He ran hard, had his moments, and is taking things step by step. For Musiala, it is simple: no excuses. If he plays badly, he owns it. When he is on the pitch, he believes he has to deliver.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, it\u2019s better to ease back into it a bit more slowly and hopefully be better by the end of the season. That\u2019s why I\u2019m happy with the progress I\u2019m making now. I\u2019m doing a lot of extra training sessions so my foot always feels fresher. Some days it\u2019s a bit stiff. But like I said: I don\u2019t want any excuses; when I\u2019m on the pitch, I have to perform and deliver,\u201d he said. Despite all his efforts, however, there are still subconscious moments, he says, when hesitation creeps in. But with each match, the confidence grows. <\/p>\n

\u201cBut from game to game, I have more and more confidence in my foot. I see the steps forward I\u2019m taking week by week. I wish everything would go faster, but I\u2019ve also learned patience with this injury.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Bayern, that patience could prove vital. Because a fully confident Musiala changes everything.<\/p>\n
