Munich In the opinion of sports director Hasan Salihamidzic, national player Leroy Sané definitely has to improve in his second year at Bayern Munich.
“Leroy had a year off injury after his cruciate ligament rupture. In his first season with us he approached again, showed his great talent and some good games. But now we expect him to be a top performer and to support the team, ”said Salihamidzic to the“ kicker ”.

In the team of national coach Joachim Löw, Sané had two short appearances and a weak performance against Hungary (2: 2) at the current European Championship. Before his second season with the German record champions, the sports director has now made him responsible. “The year of stabilization is over. I have great faith in him, even if he has a different personality than other players, ”said Salihamidzic. “However, it is also a year ago of the truth.”
