Ismaning (AP) - Bayern boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge made clear demands and expectations of national soccer player Leroy Sané at the end of the year.
«I am still convinced that Leroy Sané can also have a successful career at Bayern.
We will now support him in this, but - if necessary - also kick his butt, ”said Rummenigge on Sunday on TV channel Sport1.
Sané was signed by Manchester City for around 50 million euros in the summer after a protracted cruciate ligament injury.
The winger was only able to hint at his class in the first few months.
In the 2: 1 on Saturday evening in the Bundesliga top game in Leverkusen, coach Hansi Flick only changed him in the 32nd minute for the injured Kingsley Coman and then out again in the 68th minute.
Flick later justified this as a tactical measure.
"His talent is outstanding," said Rummenigge.
But Sané has to adapt his character to FC Bayern.
That means throwing everything into the balance for the club and the team.
"It is not the team that will adapt to his character, but he must adapt to the team," was Rummenigge's expectation of the 24-year-old Sané: "We encourage every player, but we also challenge."
