Bayern youngster Lennart Karl made waves in the world for two consecutive games this week. The famous Robben was asked about related topics in an interview (the Bayern vs. Borussia match had not yet started at the time of the interview).
Bayern's new star Lennart Karl is now the focus: The 17-year-old performs well at the right wing position, and this position is exactly where Arjen Robben became famous at Bayern.
The famous Dutch star visited the Allianz Arena on Wednesday to watch Bayern's 4-0 victory over Club Brugge in the Champions League and witnessed Karl's dream goal that opened the scoring for the team up close.
In an interview with Bayern's official website, Robben expressed his joy at the growth of this young player: "Lennart Karl deserves all the praise, his performance is very good. This young man should enjoy this moment."
Robben also made suggestions to Karl: "At this age, the most important thing is to continue to focus on the next game. You must continue to improve yourself every day, and you must not think that 'I have played a good game and everything is perfect.'"
Robben, who currently coaches the Groningen U14 team, emphasized: "You must continue to devote yourself to training and must not be satisfied with the status quo. This is exactly The key is for top players to stay at the top for a long time. It's one thing to reach the top, but it's another thing to stay at the top. "
The former professional player was full of praise for Bayern's current state under Vincent Kompany: "Bayern is going well at the moment. I especially appreciate the team's smooth operation and orderly coordination - and everyone's defensive retreat is very good."
The Dutch star said that players like Michael Olise or Luis Dias can change the situation: "They are currently in good condition, extremely fast and have strong one-on-one ability." Because of this, Robben believes that Bayern "is one of the favorite teams to enter the Champions League final."
The Dutch winger, who will end his career in 2021, played in three Champions League finals for the team while playing for Bayern (2010, 2012 and 2013).
