Vincent Kompany shuts down Messi comparisons, says Lennart Karl needs help from Bayern Munich
"I've been very transparent about Lenny, how we see him, how he's approached things. His last game against Bremen was very good. Not just offensively, but also very convincing defensively. He went through a phase where not everything was going into the top corner - that happens, and we stayed calm."
"The media was talking about Messi comparisons. We talked about his steady development and his career progression. He's done everything a young player growing up at FC Bayern does. We will continue to support him, and we will do so with complete confidence because he's always making good progress."
Lennart Karl, Bayern Munich's breakthrough youngster who became the youngest player to score in three consecutive Champions League games, is currently experiencing a dip in form and has been benched in recent matches. Coach Vincent Kompany has publicly expressed confidence in Karl's abilities and development trajectory. Kompany emphasized that Karl's recent performance against Bremen was strong both offensively and defensively, and noted that temporary scoring droughts are normal for young players. The coach dismissed premature Messi comparisons made by media, instead focusing on Karl's steady progression and the importance of continued support during this learning phase at elite level football.
