"Generally speaking, I've always said that I'm not a fan of extremely hyping young players early on,"
"For me it's about having transparent communication with the players. There's Said El Mala, Lennart Karl and other interesting young players. Both have different profiles."
"We don't have many classic wingers who are comfortable with the ball at their feet and who cut inside. Lennart is doing that well at Bayern in the game time he got. But first he has to go through the U-21s and prove himself there. He can play an important role there, which is the ambition of every Bayern player. For now he has to get more Bundesliga minutes, it's still too early."
