"He shouldn't start overthinking or trying to change what has brought him this far,"
"He's worked hard, been brave in his actions, and if something went wrong [against Hoffenheim], if he lost the ball, then he shouldn't let that bring him down. He should keep going as he has in the past few weeks and months, and then he'll keep getting better."
Lennart Karl, a 17-year-old Bayern academy prospect, earned his first Bundesliga start and provided an assist in a 4-1 win over Hoffenheim but drew mixed reviews. Young players face increasing pressure to perform at high levels. Jonathan Tah encouraged Karl to avoid overthinking, remain brave, and treat mistakes as learning opportunities rather than letting errors undermine confidence. Bayern is urged to nurture Karl's talent with backing from first-team players. The squad will have brief rest before facing Werder Bremen on Friday. Squad position groups and fan reactions to the Hoffenheim win will receive further evaluation.
