His story is an interesting one, so he went and wrote children’s books about it.According to a report from Bild (as captured by X account @iMiaSanMia), Musiala and Julien Wolff from Welt am Sonntag authored the books “My Football Adventure Begins” and “My Start at Bayern.” Those books were published by Oetinger, and are being sold at €12 each.
The books are aimed at kids from the age of 7, including those with reading difficulties: large print, short paragraphs. Musiala tells his story in a comic-strip style and shares anecdotes from his childhood and his first months in Munich.It’s an interesting venture for the Bayern star. Normally, when footballers would write, it’s their autobiography but that’s for end of career players or ones who just retired.
Writing about a significant part of your journey is a unique way of telling it. Personally, I can’t wait to see what others think of it.
