For Leroy Sané, this year’s Christmas party should have a mild aftertaste, and not just because of Corona’s current situation.
The reason: in the final game of 2020, the German national team player also experienced the lowest point of his, certainly not long, time at Bayern.
Sané replaced the injured Kingsley Coman in the 32nd minute of the 2-1 win at Bayer Leverkusen. In the 68th minute of the game, manager Hansi Flick brought down the summer newcomer again and brought in 17-year-old Jamal Musiala. Substitution and substitution in a game: the maximum penalty for any footballer.
Sané surprised by the substitution
“The substitution surprised me at first, I didn’t know. But that also happens once,” Sané said Sunday. imageto quickly win the main game: “The team was by my side just after the final whistle, and we were all happy for the three points. Above all, the joy of having been able to win this important match at the end. Now we are doing very well in all competitions. “
Of course, it is never a bad thing to put team success before yourself. But it is also a fact that the part that Sané has in the starting position of the Munich team is not anywhere near as big as everyone involved had imagined. After all, it represents the transfer of summer by the king.
In addition, Sané could not be as happy after the important success as he claimed. “No, of course I was not happy,” revealed Bavaria CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge in CHECK24 double pass. “He went back in and out. The player is clearly not happy with that.”
At least since Leverkusen it has become clear: Flick cannot and does not want to take into account individual destinations, not with the ambitious goals of the German record champions. “Ultimately, it’s about the team succeeding. The individual may have to back off,” the 3s coach said after the game. According to the motto: Sané should be able to cope with that.

The 24-year-old must now ensure that he has a greater say in the team’s success. In a team as consolidated as Bayern, his path takes him more and more to the substitute bench.
And that, again, is neither the claim of Sané, nor the wish of Bayern. Therefore, the offensive player could already play test.
Rummenigge with announcement to Sané
The announcement that Rummenigge im CHECK24 double pass in the direction of Sané.
The 65-year-old praised the incredible talent Sané had, but was quick to let the criticism go by: “He’s fast, he can dribble, he’s got a great left foot. He’s already scored goals. But I think so. He hasn’t really reached this gen of FC Bayern “.
To clarify, Rummenigge used the example of Thomas Müller. The original Bavarian is not as blessed as Sané “in terms of talent.” But it embodies the aforementioned success gene. So now Sané “just has to work on his talent, that’s his job. We have put everything in the balance for him to come to Bayern. And now he has to justify it.”
Bayern had cost the services of the former Manchester City professional 45 million euros. Sané knows that something is expected in return.
For a long time he enjoyed some protection. His prolonged injury during City times, adaptation to the Bayern game. But gradually the explanations no longer apply.
“I myself am my biggest critic and I know how to classify the fact that I was not able to use my abilities recently. But that will change,” he said in an interview with image.
But what does Sané have to change?
On the one hand there is the aforementioned “Bayern gene”, the sentiment of the famous Mia san Mia, but there are also clearly more tangible deficits that Sané has to fix.
This applies to grieving behavior, for example. The offensive player often misses the bite and wins less than 50 percent of his duels. Competitor and teammate Kingsley Coman has a lot ahead of him, which also applies to other things: the Frenchman is more effective, more useful to the team and is even ahead at top speed (Coman reaches 35.9 km / h – Sané at 34.8 km / h).
Nobody doubts Sané’s qualities, especially when it comes to offense. Flick shouldn’t be satisfied with his defensive demeanor, which should be one of the main reasons why Sané is far from a regular place.
“You have to work backwards for the team, including body language,” he had SPORT1-The expert Stefan Effenberg two weeks ago in the CHECK24 double pass criticized. There were always situations “where the head was lowered. That’s not good. You have to learn that in backward movement.”
After the short winter break, the time allotted to a new addition is gradually becoming tight and shortcomings are being viewed more and more critically. Therefore, one thing is clear, about which Rummenigge left no doubt: now it is Sané’s turn.
The Bayern coach says that Sané can have “a good future at Bayern. We support all the players, but we also demand. He has to internalize that. He has to take the next step now.”
