It is never easy to adapt to a new league of football.
Sane has played in the Bundesliga but is having some trouble readjusting a new team with Bayern Munich. Brought on in the 32nd minute, he was subbed off again in the second half and Bayern coach Hansi Flick has explained his decision.
When we make substitutions, we have to do it sensibly,” Flick said. “If you see the second half, Thomas Muller is indispensable, Serge Gnabry improved in the second half, that’s why I substituted Leroy Sane. We had to react like that because there was no other option.”
Sane has also been backed by Oliver Kahn to come good.
I can still remember when Franck Ribéry and Luca Toni moved to Bayern in 2007,” Kahn said. “At the time I said: ‘We’re not here with Florence or Marseille, but with FC Bayern!’ It is a huge stage. The fact that a player needs time to understand FC Bayern remains unchanged for me.
“I’ve known FC Bayern for a long time and I know that new players need time to fully arrive — especially since Leroy came to us from a serious injury.
“His qualities are outstanding, so we expect a lot from him. He scored goals that you don’t see in other players.”
