"No matter how many goals they score, whatever they do - whether it's a good game or a bad one - we have to be objective. When you're at Bayern Munich, you have to be special even at this age. They always want to achieve more, that's the most important thing. No matter how great a talent is, you can't buy experience, you have to build it."
"The youngster has also enjoyed an electric start to life for Germany's U-21s. In his debut game against Malta's U-21s, the winger scored a brace and added another goal to his tally in Germany's following game against Georgia. Despite Karl's young age, the tricky left footer is already developing a trademark goal, a curling left-footed shot from the right hand side reminiscent to a certain Arjen Robben."
"Kompany is the perfect manager to manage Karl's development. The 39-year-old manager has done a stellar job at slowly blooding Karl into Bayern's first team, giving him enough game time to develop while limiting his responsibility enough to protect his confidence. A difficult balance to find. But by applying just the right amount of heat and pressure, it looks like Kompany is producing a diamond in Lennart Karl."
Lennart Karl, a 17-year-old Bayern forward, has enjoyed a breakout season with goals in the Bundesliga and the UEFA Champions League. He scored a brace on his Germany U-21 debut against Malta and added another goal against Georgia. The left-footed winger is developing a trademark curling shot from the right that resembles Arjen Robben's finish and also draws stylistic comparisons to Franck Ribéry and Lionel Messi. Vincent Kompany emphasizes objectivity, steady development and building experience. Kompany has gradually integrated Karl into Bayern's first team, balancing game time with limited responsibility to protect confidence and maximize potential.
