Hoeness: It’s difficult for Bayern to follow through. He praises Kane’s transformation, but Karl still can’t compare with Messi.

On November 20, Hoeness, the honorary chairman of Bayern and the boss of the supervisory board, accepted an interview with Bild. His statement did not beat around the bush. He not only recognized the team's current performance, but also directly poured cold water on the popular young player. He also warned in advance that Bayern would not have smooth sailing throughout the whole process. Every point of view hit a hot topic in football, and the sense of contrast was full.

Bayern has completely gained momentum this season, firmly occupying the top spot in the Bundesliga standings, leaving behind its closest rival RB Leipzig by a full 6 points, and its lead has not loosened at all; in the European war, it has not lost its chain, and it has not lost its lead in the previous game against Chelsea. In the two tough battles between Spain and Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern played very well. While winning the strong dialogue, they also showed the aura of a top team. Hoeness did not hesitate to acknowledge this, saying frankly that the team's European performance during this period is indeed worthy of praise.

But Hoeness did not get carried away by the good results in front of him. Instead, he directly sounded the alarm to the whole team. He admitted frankly that Bayern would not be able to go through the entire season unscathed. Things would not always be so smooth, and there would inevitably be setbacks in the future.

In addition, he also gave a pragmatic judgment. Currently, Bayern has almost reached the upper limit of its potential. It is really difficult to take another step forward. This calmness is in sharp contrast with the team's current strong momentum, and it also makes the outside world think more.

Despite warning of subsequent challenges, Hoeness is still satisfied with Bayern's team-building results this season. He mentioned that almost all the plans made by the team in the summer have been implemented, and they have been moving in the direction of "spending less to do big things". Instead of spending 50 to 60 million euros blindly on signings, they focused on internal training, with the goal of building a reliable new team. The team's current performance has also confirmed that this team building idea has not gone astray.

In the interview, Hoeness praised Kane and was full of praise for the core transformation. He said that Kane's performance at Bayern in the past one or two years was absolutely top-notch. When he first joined, Kane was just a pure shooter squatting in the penalty area waiting for opportunities, but now he has fully evolved. Not only is he an efficient terminator, but he has also developed organizational skills and has become the core of the team.

More importantly, Kane has a strong personality and can drive his teammates and lead the team forward. He is the leader player Bayern needs most at the moment. Kane can participate in the efficiency of creating 2 goals per game and deserves this praise. The transformation from a pure shooter to an all-round core has made him a key pillar of Bayern.

Bayern youth academy youngster Carl suddenly emerged this season and attracted a lot of fans with his brilliant performance. Some people even directly compared him with Messi. Even the topic of participating in the World Cup was hotly debated.

In this regard, Hoeness did not deny Karl's performance and bluntly said that Lennart played really well. No one wants to restrict the growth of young players, and they also hope that he can score more goals and improve faster. However, the conversation changed and he poured cold water on him without leaving any room.

Hoeness bluntly said that Karl has only played three or four Bundesliga games so far, and his qualifications are still far behind. Comparing him with Messi now is too exaggerated and completely unrealistic.

When talking about whether Karl should participate in the World Cup, he also cited his own experience as an example. When he was 20 years old, he played well. Helmut Schön, the head coach of the West German team, only hinted that he would continue to work hard and call up the national team would be a year later. Karl had only played a few games in the Bundesliga and was hotly discussed for a World Cup spot. It was obviously too hasty and over-hyped.

Hoeness once again emphasized Bayern's team building philosophy, always insisting on spending less money to build an excellent team, and does not blindly spend money on signings. Instead, it focuses on youth training and focuses on cultivating talented young players such as Karl and Tom Bischoff. This not only saves a lot of expenses, but also greatly helps the team's financial situation, and can also inject fresh blood into the team. The current coach is willing to take the initiative to promote young players, giving these youth training players the opportunity to play and grow, and also allows Bayern's youth training system to truly play its role.

Bayern's follow-up schedule is extremely intensive, and they will face second-ranked Arsenal in the Champions League next Wednesday. This strong dialogue is directly related to the ownership of the top spot in the group. The previous winning streak of the two teams has ended, and this meeting is full of suspense.
