With a fee of 80 million euros, world champion Lucas Hernández is still the most expensive Bundesliga transfer of all time. Nothing less than world class is expected of such a player. Admittedly, in his almost three years at Bayern, the 26-year-old has not yet played too many games at this level.
That is why criticism of Hernández, who still has a contract on Säbener Straße until 2024, is repeatedly ignited. Frequent allegations: lack of leadership qualities, too many fouls, impetuous demeanor. Now advisor Manuel García Quilón feels compelled to publicly defend his protégé.
“(Lothar) Matthäus was a great player. I respect his opinion of Lucas, but I don’t share it.”the player’s advisor told ‘Sport1’ in the direction of one of the sharpest Hernández critics. “Lucas is without a doubt one of the best players in his position, for me one of the two or three best central defenders in the world”.
Bavaria “very satisfied”
“His performance is great”says García Quilón about his client, emphasizing: “They’re very happy with him at FC Bayern.” Hernandez is in Munich “Very good, he’s happy and gets along great with everyone – with the coach, with his teammates, but also with those in charge.” He plays for you “the best clubs in the world”.
