The example of Leroy Sané shows how whistles from your own fans can bring out the best in a player. Last August, the filigree technician received the maximum penalty from Bayern supporters for a disembodied appearance against 1. FC Köln (3: 2). A good six months later, Sané in Munich is not only one of the best, but also one of the most committed players in the record champions.
One is inclined to say: Sané got the curve. If the development continues like this, his enormous potential could one day hoist him into the ranks of world stars. The best way to do this is to wear a FC Bayern jersey, you think to yourself on Säbener Strasse. And the chances are good that Sané will stay in Munich in the long term.
Long in Munich
“I have no thoughts of a change”, replies the former Schalke player when asked by ‘Bild am Sonntag’. He feels “Very well at FC Bayern, we play good football, it’s a new generation that’s being built up here, we have a young coach. I have big goals with the club. That’s all I think about.”
Sané is contractually bound to FCB until 2025. A proud 60 million was transferred to Manchester City in 2020. The investment is slowly paying off, also thanks to the open and loud expressions of displeasure from their own fans.
