📸 Can Nagelsmann really say no? El Mala scores another wonder goal | OneFootball

He is simply unstoppable at the moment. Once Said El Mala picks up speed, the goal usually follows within seconds. 

That was the case today against FC St. Pauli. After the Kiezkicker had a free kick from a dangerous position, the 19-year-old revved up the engine. Not even 15 seconds later, it was 1-0. 

What exactly happened? After the Cologne team intercepted the free kick from the North Germans, Luca Waldschmidt cleared the ball out of the penalty area to El Mala, who sprinted past all the Hamburg defenders from his own half before shooting the ball over Vasilj into the net. 

After his last-minute goal last week and this renewed world-class solo action, the question remains how long national coach Julian Nagelsmann can avoid giving the FC youngster his first minutes in the Germany jersey. 

Now it's your turn: Will El Mala be taken across the pond to the World Cup next year? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments!
