Because it is precisely through insight, through the ability to perhaps admit a mistake, to change a plan, that he would show greatness.
The fans also reacted clearly to Leroy Sané – and booed the attacker when he came on. Quite clearly and clearly: That’s not right, he doesn’t deserve that. Nevertheless, this reaction also expresses the audience’s keen sense that something is not right, that a personality is not understandable.
As with Undav, Nagelsmann ignores the performance principle he so emphatically emphasized with Sané and sticks to the Galatasaray attacker with an incomprehensible loyalty. Although his performance for the Istanbul club in the current season is clear. Sané scored 6 goals and 8 assists in 35 competitive games. And another number: In the Champions League round of 16 against Liverpool FC, he was on the pitch for a full 45 minutes. Although Sané had to struggle with an injury at the beginning of the year, these numbers are still unconvincing.
Nagelsmann demanded of him last August that he had to stand out more in the Süper Lig, which is worse than the top leagues. “I need a certain quota,” he said. Of course, it causes incomprehension when he continues to participate despite the poor quota.
The irony of fate was that Sané then set up the 2-1 winning goal with a careful header from Undav. But this one action cannot hide the fact that he previously performed very poorly against Switzerland.
If he doesn’t improve significantly in the club in the coming weeks, then he will have to worry about being nominated for the World Cup. He has it in his own hands.
