Munich (AP) - After the carrot-and-stick approach of Bayern boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, board member Oliver Kahn has strengthened the back of the national player Leroy Sané.
“I've known FC Bayern for a long time and I know that new players need time to fully arrive - especially since Leroy came to us from a serious injury,” said the 51-year-old in an interview with “Sport Bild” (Wednesday).
«Its quality is outstanding, so we expect a lot from it.
He scored goals that you don't see in other players, ”said Kahn.
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 against Bayer 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.
«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 - kick his butt », Rummenigge said on Sunday.
