The story in brief
6-second readLennart Karl has received strong backing from his agent, Michael Ballack, following recent criticism from Bayern chiefs Uli Hoeneß and Max Eberl.
From the source
Amid a rather difficult spell since returning from injury, Lennart Karl has recently faced criticism from Bayern chiefs Max Eberl and Uli Hoeneß over his performances and behaviour off the pitch, with the latter suggesting that the 18-year-old needs to show more humility.
Speaking ahead of Saturday night's clash between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, former Germany international Michael Ballack came to the youngster's defence in his role as a DAZN pundit.
Ballack, who also serves as Karl's agent, made it clear that he considers the criticism of his client too harsh, pointing to his young age.
