Musiara recently accepted an exclusive interview with Fashion Magazine GQ, talking about the development and future she has made in the past few years.
You have achieved considerable achievements in the field of football at a young age. Are you surprised by how fast you develop?
"I am very satisfied with the development I have made so far, and I will not make any changes even if I have the opportunity to change. Indeed, many things have happened in a very short period of time, I have experienced a lot and learned a lot. I have been trying to stay true to myself, and I have been taught to be calm and humble since I was a child. Although a lot has happened in the past few years, I don't think I have changed much as a person."
Who are particularly important to you during this challenging time?
"The most important thing is of course family. My parents and brothers and sisters have always been by my side and given me strength. Without them, I would definitely not be able to achieve what I am today."
Have any other players cared about you? As a teenager, it may not be easy to integrate into the top team...
"Zilkeze, Sane, Alfonso Davis have always been my closest friends. In addition, many of the friends I made when I was in England are still in touch today, and they are very important to me."
As people get older and gain experience, people's expectations for players are also changing. Do you feel the pressure is increasing?
"Yes, but with the accumulation of experience, both personal growth and skills have improved significantly, and I also need to take on more responsibilities. Therefore, the requirements for me have also been increased. But I found that my teammates around me are helping and supporting me, so I can stay true to myself."
For a creative player like you and me, having a certain degree of freedom on the court is essential...
"Of course, there are fixed tasks in every training and game, which is important, and I have to execute the plan that the coach has set for me. But the same It is important that I have to keep my head clear in order to see all possibilities. "
Talking about leadership styles
"I have always been a relatively restrained person, and I don't yell on and off the court. But indeed, as I get older, the responsibilities are getting bigger and bigger, and I am willing to take on these responsibilities. I will do it my own way, but shouting is not my style." The media and the public like to compare players of the same age together. Do you pay attention to the performance and development of Yamal, Bellingham and Wilz?
"It is normal for people to like to discuss topics like this, just like I am not a professional basketball player, but I also like to talk about basketball (laughs). We players are able to handle this situation well, of course, we will notice other people's performance, but we will not be distracted or affected by it, but focus on ourselves. The most important thing is that I will think about how to improve my performance and help my team."
In the process of becoming more mature, frustration is inevitable...
"I will inevitably encounter injuries in my career, but I think it is also an opportunity to better understand my body and accumulate experience. The key is to use these setbacks to make myself stronger."
As your popularity increases, your daily life will also change. How do you deal with this increase in attention?
"I think this is a very good situation because I clearly remember how excited I was to see the stars when I was a little boy. Therefore, I always try to be as friendly as possible and willing to sign them, and sometimes take pictures with them. However, sometimes this is not always possible, especially when there are too many people, but I still try my best. After all, seeing so many people happy about seeing me is a wonderful thing in itself (laughs). "
You became one of the top scorers in the 2024 European Cup, but how long has the regret of being defeated by the Spanish team lasted in your heart?
"It did last for a while, who knows what would happen if we got that penalty kick. But it doesn't make sense to get stuck on it. I can't change what has happened. I can only try to recover from failure as soon as possible and strive to achieve the best results in the next game."
What are your expectations for next year's World Cup?
"I believe this will be an interesting experience, of course, I want to be as prepared as possible for it, I am confident in the team and our potential. The 2024 European Cup has made us a real team, and I feel we can continue to improve in the next few years."
Your future is currently owned by Bayern, how important do you think it is to gain stability and security in life?
"I am very happy that the club trusts me, and I must give back to this trust with performance. In addition, I am not a person who likes to plan for the long term in advance. I am now focusing on preparing for the new season."
What aspects do you think you can further improve?
"I think I still have room for improvement in all aspects, and every step of progress can help me become a better player. Whether it is heading, physical fitness or left-footed shot, I'm working hard to improve myself, and I won't stop working even in areas that have already done well."
