Leroy Sané has lost his regular place at Bayern. The club defended him against the whistles of their own fans, but that does not mean a license. CEO Kahn takes him to duty. National coach Flick also expresses himself.
Leroy Sané has had difficult days. Julian Nagelsmann replaced the offensive star in Bayern’s 3-2 win against 1. FC Köln a week ago, and some of the Munich fans whistled out the national player. In the 5-0 win against Hertha BSC at the weekend, Sané only sat on the bench.
The 18-year-old talent Jamal Musiala pushed last season’s transfers from the starting line-up. Sané shone against the Berliners on Saturday evening after his substitution with a template to 4-0 Robert Lewandowski – but so far he is not the hoped-for superstar who characterizes the game of the German record champions. The Munich-based company paid around 50 million euros for him to Manchester City a little more than a year ago, and expectations of the 25-year-old Sané are correspondingly high.
Now Oliver Kahn comments on the personnel. And makes Sané responsible. “We, who were and are professionals, have all experienced that,” said the club’s chairman of the board.. He knows from his own experience: “This is nothing nice. That happened to me too when I moved to Munich at an early age. “
Kahn continues: “For Leroy it’s about putting it away and processing it.” The club boss makes it clear that the club supports its professionals in difficult phases such as the last time their fans whistle. However, the player is also asked. “As a club, it’s our job to see what we can do now so that Leroy wants to perform at Bayern,” said Kahn. “It always takes two – he has to want that.”
National coach Flick praises Sané
Sané can gain confidence in the national team in the coming days. Before the first training session in Stuttgart, the new national coach, Hansi Flick, said on Monday afternoon on the TV channel “BILD LIVE”: “I know what quality it is, it has not always brought it to the field that way. He is playing on the left side now and set up a nice goal. I’m in contact with Julian because it’s also important to support him now. He was injured for a long time and now we all know that you need a certain amount of time to get back to that level, and he has the support at Bayern Munich and that is what he gets from us. “
On Sunday evening, Flick gathered his squad in Stuttgart to make the most of the short preparation time for the three qualifying games for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar against Liechtenstein, Armenia and Iceland. “I’m just happy to be able to start now. We are absolutely thrilled to be able to work with the best players in Germany, ”said the national coach. On Thursday evening it is first in St. Gallen against Liechtenstein.
