Bayern star complains about unfairness
Leroy Sané defends himself against “exaggerated” criticism

National soccer player Leroy Sane has commented on the criticism of his performance and quarrels with the way in which he is evaluated. The star of FC Bayern Munich also spoke about ex-coach Julian Nagelsmann and his new coach Thomas Tuchel.

Soccer professional Leroy Sané from FC Bayern Munich often feels unfairly treated by the public. “I know myself that I have to reward myself more in some actions, to score more goals, but I always have the feeling that I’m often judged in public,” said the 27-year-old international in an interview published on Tuesday at Sport1. “I’m celebrated after a goal – after two or three weaker halves, people discuss whether I’m still good enough for Bayern or the national team.” Sané would like a “more balanced measure”.

The offensive player regrets the separation of FC Bayern Munich from coach Julian Nagelsmann. “I have a very good relationship with Julian – I was sorry that he had to go in the end because we as a team sometimes couldn’t deliver the results we had hoped for. I always felt that he was there for me.”

No “difficult fate” than Man City

Successor Thomas Tuchel reminds him in many areas of Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola, whom Bayern meet in the evening (9 p.m. / Amazon Prime Video and in the live ticker on ntv.de) in the quarter-finals first leg of the Champions League. “It’s fun and I’m sure we’ll be very successful with him,” said Sané, who played for Man City from 2016 to 2020, of Tuchel. In his eyes, however, “a more difficult draw was not possible at the moment” in the premier class. The English champions are “a world-class team from the first to the last man”, who also has “a world-class coach” who “knows how to use these strengths”.

Sané was able to understand why national coach Hansi Flick was not nominated for the most recent international matches against Peru and Belgium. “I would have liked to have been there, but I fully understand that Hansi wants to test a few new players in training and in the games after the disappointing World Cup. That’s what he explained to me.”
