Bayern Munich’s prominent player Leroy Sané was absent during this international break due to a suspension resulting from a red card. His absence, however, did not diminish the team’s attacking prowess, leading some to question whether Sané would secure a starting position upon his return. The 28-year-old acknowledges that discussions regarding his role will occur later, prioritizing his enjoyment of the new coaching era under Julian Nagelsmann for now.
Speaking to Sky Sport journalist Patrick Berger before the match, Sané expressed his contentment at being present with his teammates and coaches, emphasizing the importance of his participation in the coordinated plans with Nagelsmann. While specifics regarding his role have not been extensively discussed, Sané is confident in his relationship with Nagelsmann and believes they can determine a suitable position for him. Notably, Sané observed a positive atmosphere within the team since Nagelsmann’s tenure began, which reinforced his optimism for their performance against France.
Sané’s contribution to the team is undeniable, yet securing a starting role may prove challenging given the current tactical setup under Nagelsmann.
