National soccer player Niklas Süle has to show more commitment in order to become a top performer in defense at FC Bayern in the future.
The new coach Julian Nagelsmann emphasized in an interview with "Sport Bild" (Wednesday).
"He has to do something, he knows that, but I think very, very much of him," said the coach.
The 25-year-old defender is still on vacation after the European Championship, after which those responsible want to see a stronger Süle again at the German record champions than in the previous season.
For him it is also about a new Bayern contract;
the current contract expires in 2022.
Süle had "not had a particularly happy last season," said Nagelsmann.
“But he also has everything a world-class central defender should have, that shouldn't be forgotten.
If he has the insight to work on his construction site and now has a coach who has known him since the U16s, I am confident that he will get his horsepower back on the road. "
Nagelsmann was already coach of Süle during his time at 1899 Hoffenheim.
However, there is no guarantee that they will stay, said the coach.
You have to “understand the club side too.
It is clear that we always look at what is happening in the market ”.
Nagelsmann sees no acute need for action in this regard in midfield, where Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka are placed. The coach repeated that he did not want to ban Kimmich - unlike national coach Joachim Löw at the failed European Championship - to the right wing. "I plan Joshua Kimmich centrally," he said. Kimmich's favorite position is also there.
