"Lennart Karl could fulfill Uli Hoeneß's wish to rely more on homegrown talent again. He has everything you need: technique, game intelligence, and the right mentality...He has to be brought along slowly and not overwhelmed. They did that perfectly with Musiala, and that's exactly how they should proceed with Karl."
"Karl has that ease on the ball, that creativity, and above all, the courage to try things."
"He doesn't seem nervous at all, but plays as if he's been playing in the Bundesliga for years. That's a rare gift,"
Bayern Munich is dominating the Bundesliga while 17-year-old winger Lennart Karl, wearing number 42, delivers virtuoso highlights and growing fan demand. Lothar Matthäus compares Karl to Jamal Musiala and praises his ease on the ball, creativity, courage, technique, game intelligence and mentality. Matthäus recommends gradual integration to avoid overwhelming the youngster, citing Musiala's pathway as a model. Karl is being tipped for Germany ahead of next summer's World Cup. Confidence appears central to his rise; he plays without visible nerves and performs with the composure of an experienced Bundesliga player. Uli Hoeneß's desire for more homegrown talent could be advanced by Karl's emergence.
