"I watched so much football. I think the most important thing, no matter how old you are, is not to stop having fun, no matter where you play, how you play and how old you are. For me, it's always been that way. There are always things you can pick up from many different players. For me there were several [role models], but if I had to name one, it would be Steven Gerrard."
"That's changed a bit nowadays. When you play football, you also look at certain runs and certain decisions. What does a player do before certain actions? You notice how football keeps changing. That's why it's so exciting and I find it interesting to watch other games, to watch our games and even watch my own games back, to always find a few things to get better at."
Konrad Laimer developed a reputation as a hardworking, often underappreciated midfield presence before becoming an essential player at Bayern Munich. He serves as a role model for Austrian footballers by reaching top-level club performance. Laimer grew up idolizing Steven Gerrard but also studied many players. He values maintaining fun at every age and level while continually learning from others' runs, decisions, and pre-action movements. As his perspective matured, he shifted from admiring spectacular goals to analyzing tactical runs and decision-making. He regularly watches other matches, team games and his own footage to identify small improvements.
