Leroy Sané complains about his image.
“You are welcome to come to my house and see if there are really diamonds, gold chains and stuff lying around.
I don't own any of these.
Nevertheless, people put me in this bling-bling drawer, ”said the FC Bayern national soccer player in an interview with“ Der Spiegel ”magazine.
He is not a type who styles himself in the bathroom forever.
"I have the feeling that people look at me differently than others," said the 25-year-old.
Rather, he is rather distant in public, that can come across as wrong.
He was surprised that there was such a stir about his fur jacket at an appointment with the national team two years ago.
"Have to question me"

“Apparently I provide people with material like this, even though I don't want to.
So of course I have to question myself, ”said Sané, who has the feeling that he has to fight against prejudice.
The fact that he was not nominated for the World Cup by national coach Joachim Löw in 2018 was "a hard blow".
“But then I said to myself: Why should I pout now or even be angry at Jogi?
I was still young and wanted to prove to myself that I could do it, ”emphasized the 25-year-old.

In retrospect, he “never really deepened” the disembarkation with Löw, says Sané.
“The national coach had his reasons and I always had a good relationship with him.
After the World Cup he came to me and said that I should continue like this.
That he believes in me.
That was the end of the topic for me. "

He is currently not at his top level after the cruciate ligament rupture, added Sané.
“But I'm working very hard to get there.” He accepts the words of club boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, according to which Sané has to adapt his character to that of Bayern.
“I just have to really prove myself at Bayern.
I know the club is behind me, otherwise they wouldn't have brought me.
I also take this criticism as an incentive. ”The team accepts him, however, that helps with the integration.
