Bayern chief Eberl stresses: "Karl has to keep working now" | OneFootball

Lennart Karl was able to put himself in the spotlight during Bayern’s recent Champions League home game against Brugge (4:0). Vincent Kompany and Max Eberl have now commented on the young talent of the German record champions.

With a spectacular goal, Lennart Karl once again underlined his impressive form last Wednesday evening in Bayern’s home match against Brugge. In the 4:0 victory for Munich, the left-footer was even named “Man of the Match.” Afterwards, sporting director Max Eberl and coach Vincent Kompany spoke about Karl.

Eberl emphasized: “In the summer, we decided to focus on young talents and wanted to give Wisdom Mike, Lennart Karl, and Cassiano Kiala the chance. Lennart did very well against Brugge. But he still has to keep working. It’s clear that we want to rely on the Campus.”

The 52-year-old also highlighted the good work being done at the Munich Campus. “The Campus has already done a very good job. With Stani, Jamal, and Aleks, we have three regular players from the Campus. We have a lot of boys who train with us regularly. We want to be successful—that’s the most important thing at FC Bayern—but we also want to keep focusing on young talents. But that’s not about wishes, it’s about hard work.”

Vincent Kompany, when asked about Karl, focused on how he deals with the increasing pressure: “As a young player, you don’t have that pressure. I want Lennart to feel that as well. He has to enjoy it. If he makes mistakes, we’ll talk about them. At some point, hopefully, the pressure will come onto his shoulders. But for now, he should just enjoy the moment without pressure.”

Karl also benefited last summer from the German champions’ thinly staffed offensive lineup. Munich let numerous stars leave. In addition, they signed two Premier League attackers in Luis Diaz and Nicolas Jackson.
