From the source
Bayern Munich’s Lennart Karl has received public backing from advisor Michael Ballack following criticism from Bayern Munich honorary president and supervisory board member Uli Hoeneß.
This comes after Hoeneß said that Karl is “far from being a superstar” and that “young players need humility,” – while the comparisons with Michael Olise aren’t “doing him any good.”
Working as a pundit for DAZN, Ballack said: “Lennart is 18 years old. Where were you at 18?. “Just as he’s trying things out on the pitch, he’s doing the same off the pitch.
