Lennart Karl on how his game changed under Vincent Kompany: "My game has definitely become more mature and more grown-up. I鈥檝e improved defensively in particular. In the youth teams, I didn鈥檛 like running back. I scored a lot of goals, which was my bonus. But in professional football, the opposition punishes you immediately if you don鈥檛 contribute. I learned that quickly
The coach gives me a lot of freedom. Against Hoffenheim, I once failed to pull off a stepover, and that immediately drew a bit of mockery on social media. But that didn鈥檛 bother me much, and I went on to perform well straight after. It鈥檚 good when the coach says that attacking players should show their style and try things out"
