Maxi’s eyes caught on Flo and Jamal. He missed stealing touches like that, trading secrets, leaving a trace of promise on someone else in the middle of a matter that was bigger than them. He missed Karim.

Jule on Kai and how they became friends:

I’m not really sure, it’s something that has come up every now and then, but take, for example, the careers of Kai Havertz and me… He actually says, for the first six months, I basically ignored him, like I didn’t speak to him. But that wasn’t because I had anything against him. It was like, “Bro, you just arrived, you’re a youth player”. Of course, once we’re on the pitch, we help one another, but it’s not like I’m going around saying, “Hey, let me show you around Cologne,” or “Why don’t you show me… Do you want to come to Aachen so I can introduce you to my parents?” You just don’t do things like that. At the end of the day, it’s simply football. It’s just a job. It’s a passion, sure, but it’s also a job. It’s not necessarily the case that just because you’re contractually part of the same team starting July 1st, you’re suddenly 23 best friends. But then, over time, you naturally start interacting with each other more and more, because you’re together in the dressing room. Eventually, you start getting along well, and that’s when those kinds of things begin to form.

i went to see the jamal musiala florian wirtz super heroes exhibition—impressions under the fold

this exhibition is a special exhibition at the german football museum and aimed at children who play football, hence the name and theme of super heroes and the message “not giving up is a super power”. ai generated/edited content was used a lot unfortunately🫩

when you walk in there is a long cartoon storyline of how flo and jamal got into football/their lives so far (didn’t read this entirely, it was really long, once again if you’re a fan you know most this and the pictures were ai)

then there is the movie like immersive exhibition part which is basically their stories again, career milestones, ups and downs, some interview snippets from them and people like their parents, lothar matthäus, philipp lahm

in addition to their narration they showed game footage + child actors acted out scenes but a lot of it was ai generated or edited to look cartoonish (overall no new content to fans, there was also no focus on wusiala together, just their stories separately from one another)

there were about six original exhibits: jerseys of the games that won them the meisterschaft, flo’s first colorful football boots, jamal’s first boots + kit at chelsea and top scorer trophy and flo’s first messi jersey

the cutest thing was a letter flo wrote at 12 about his dream of becoming a footballer (my translation)

overall it was nice, especially for children to encourage them to chase their dreams and enjoy playing football but the ai generated stuff was really off putting to me. you’re not missing a lot if you’re not visiting this exhibition imo
