Lukas Kwasniok praises Said El Mala’s internal progress despite his omission from the senior national team.

The coach reacts strongly to reports suggesting El Mala’s parents agreed to a transfer to Brighton & Hove Albion.

Kwasniok criticizes the social media abuse young players face and the negative impact on their well-being.

The ongoing speculation affects El Mala’s confidence, leading to fewer dribbling attempts in recent matches.

To put it plainly, this is perverse, what is happening nowadays to 18- and 19-year-olds.
