Jamal Musiala continue to make an impact from the bench
Since Flick can use five substitutes in every league game, there are chances for teenagers such as Joshua Zirkzee and Jamal Musiala. The latter came off the bench on Saturday and once again impressed during his short stay on the pitch.
Musiala came on for Kingsley Coman in the 72nd minute, getting close to 20 minutes under his belt. He managed to find himself in the right position to score the fifth goal of the team. Musiala had two shots on target in 18 minutes against Frankfurt.
The teenager scored his second goal in the Bundesliga this season on Saturday. He scored the eighth goal against Schalke in matchday one to become the youngest goalscorer for Die Roten in the Bundesliga.

Musiala also got a chance to start against FC Duren last week in DFB Pokal. The teenager shows great maturity in the final third, dribbling past experienced defenders with ease.
There is strong competition for attacking positions at Bayern. Musiala is unlikely to get starts unless there is an injury crisis. However, coming off the bench consistently will be a big achievement for Musiala. He is still 17, so playing with the senior team will speed up his development. Moreover, he has also got a perfect coach in Flick that trusts in giving opportunities to young players.
