Lothar Matthäus : Gavi and Pedri will lead the new generation

The 1990 Ballon d’Or winner, who is now 61 years old, applauded the Spanish coach Luis Enrique. Lothar Matthäus thinks Lucho “is giving a lot of confidence” to Pedri and Gavi. “It is essential for them”. Furthermore, he stressed that “la Roja always brings out new values”.

Germany vs Spain Tomorrow

The Spain-Germany game tomorrow threatens to knock the German team out of the World Cup if they do not win that match. Lothar Matthäus was questioned if his team is longing for the Real Madrid player Toni Kroos, an argument that he flatly rejected because, among other things, he cited a footballer who is on Barça’s agenda to reinforce his midfield. “We have Gündogan, Kimmich, Musiala… Kroos made the difference, and he continues to do so with Real Madrid. He is a fantastic player, but he decided to leave the national team a few years ago and we have to respect that. We also have a great team and in his position we have the captain of City, Gündogan; We have two Bayern stars, Kimmich and Goretzka…”.

Matthäus then reminded FC Barcelona when asked about the English midfielder Jude Bellingham. “He’s going to leave Borussia shortly, towards Real Madrid or a Premier League team, which is where there is money” and he finished: “If you don’t have money, the only one who can sign is Barça, who doesn’t have a euro, but signed Lewandowski”. (Hey, Lothar, maybe read this if you want to know where the money comes from)

“Musiala can be the next Messi”

Finally, Matthaus stressed that, in his opinion, the German Jamal Musiala “could be the next Messi”. “Watch out for him. He’s an excellent player, and I’m not saying it now, that he’s succeeding at Bayern. He’s a boy who is 100% focused on football. He doesn’t get distracted. He’s very professional, very intelligent, passionate about the game I’m a big fan of him since a few years ago when I first saw him”.
