Bayern Munich defender Jonathan Tah emphasizes the importance of collective leadership within the team, stating that all players on the backline must take responsibility. Recollecting his time with veterans Jérôme Boateng and Mats Hummels, Tah points out the value of individual playing styles in contributing to team dynamics. He expresses discomfort with the term "leader" as it suggests a singular focus, instead highlighting the need for open communication and organization among all defenders to enhance the team's performance.
"Ultimately, we all have to be leaders and take responsibility - in the national team and at FC Bayern. I try to get involved in communication and organization on the pitch."
"I benefited enormously from Jérôme Boateng and Mats Hummels. What I learned was that everyone has their own style. You have to bring your own strengths to the pitch as best as possible."
