Bayern Star Tah Finds Criticism of Sané Unfair

Germany defender Jonathan Tah has voiced strong support for his national teammate Leroy Sané, dismissing public criticism of the Bayern Munich winger as unfair. Tah described Sané as not only an outstanding footballer but also a colleague with a genuinely good heart, whose positive nature is felt by those who know him well.

“

I don't know anyone in the team who thinks or speaks badly about Leroy. On the contrary.

"I don't know anyone in the team who thinks or speaks badly about Leroy. On the contrary," Tah stated during a media session at the German national team's training camp. He highlighted Sané's infectious, loud laughter as a key element that creates a positive atmosphere within the squad.

Tah and Sané, who debuted together for Germany at the 2016 European Championship, have different career trajectories. While Tah has become a regular starter, Sané has remained a controversial figure. National coach Julian Nagelsmann had previously suggested Sané would have limited opportunities under him. Sané faced boos from home fans during a March match against Ghana, drawing sharp criticism from his teammates.

“

One hand, of course, he is an outstanding footballer, but on the other hand, he really has a good heart and everyone who knows him a little better and gets to know him closer feels that.

Nagelsmann included Sané in his World Cup squad but emphasized he would be competing for a starting position as a challenger. Tah's defense underscores the camaraderie within the team, contrasting with the public's mixed reception of Sané's performances.

I don't know if you notice how his laugh is, but it is also extremely loud and simply creates positive energy and ensures a positive atmosphere.
