Lothar Matthäus Urges Bayern Munich to Utilize Young Talents

Football legend Lothar Matthäus has voiced his support for Bayern Munich's promising young talents, Lennart Karl and Jonah Kusi-Asare, during the 2021 Bundesliga season. In an article published by sid/hen, Matthäus praised the duo, stating that they have shown in friendly matches they can compete at a high level and should be given opportunities to play in the first team.

Matthäus's comments can be seen as a subtle criticism of coach Vincent Kompany, who has not given these youngsters significant playing time. Matthäus did not mention Kompany by name but emphasized the importance of utilizing these young talents and the squad not being too small even without some rumored additions.

In the article, Matthäus also commended coach Kompany for having "a really good man" in Tom Bischof. However, he expressed frustration over the decision to substitute Karl and Bischof in added time against VfB Stuttgart in the Super Cup. Matthäus did not comment on the injury status of Bayern's stars Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies, nor did he mention the transfer of Christopher Nkunku or the acquisition of Luis Díaz and Jonathan Tah.

Despite these concerns, Matthäus remains optimistic about Bayern Munich's prospects for the new Bundesliga season. He considers Díaz and Tah as "absolute reinforcements" for the team and believes that the squad is well-equipped to compete at the highest level. Matthäus's comments underscore the importance of giving young players a chance and the potential they bring to the team.
