With two wins from two, Germany have qualified for the FIFA World Cup 2026 knockout stages as Group E winners after overcoming Curaçao (7-1) and Ivory Coast (2-1).
Both Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz started both games, registering a combined goal and assist. Flourishing in the No.10 in support of Kai Havertz, Musiala relishes playing alongside Wirtz and his midfield teammates.
“I’m really enjoying this,” Musiala told **Sport Bild**. “I think Flo and I play really well together. The whole team is in great form. No matter which position I play, I can combine with anyone. But it’s true: Flo and I harmonise very well on the field.
“It’s simply fun to have this relaxed feel and free atmosphere on the pitch.”
Looking to elevate his performances, Musiala added: “We want to show what we’re capable of at this tournament. I push myself every day for that.
“But what I’ve learned in the meantime is to remain patient. I know that, especially after my injury, I have to be patient. But I also know that I have the quality to achieve the high goals I’ve set for myself one day. I’m not putting any pressure on myself.”
