Reason Why I Choose Germany Over Nigeria - Musiala

German-born, Nigerian descent Jamal Musiala has finally opened up on the reason why he preferred to play for the German national team ahead of Nigeria Super Eagles, BSNSports.com.ng has gathered.

Born in Germany to a Nigerian father and a German mother, he was raised from the age of seven in England. Musiala represented both Germany and England at the youth level and eventually pledged his allegiance to the German national team.

Despite the German machine's poor showing at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, Musiala was able to distinguish himself.

While speaking to TeamNigeriaUK3, Musiala said he gave it a thought to represent Nigeria but he decided to choose German based on comfort.

“So it just came down to me and where I’d feel the most comfortable. So I decided to go to Germany.

I could have played for Nigeria because it crossed my mind, and I thought about it well. I had good talks with Nigeria and Germany,” Musiala said on TeamNigeriaUK3.

Apart from Musiala, Karim Adeyemi also represented Germany in Qatar.
