Freund: Kane is the absolute superstar, Yamal s emergence is incredible

Bayern senior Freund was interviewed recently and talked about many topics such as Kompany, Kane and Lemmer, youth training strategies, celebrities Henes and Yamal.

How do you evaluate the new coach Kompani? The coach himself has played at a very high level for many years, so he can understand what the players think. He is just like the players, very ambitious and he knows how to feel the players’ form and how to communicate with them in different situations. We found the perfect coach and hopefully he will coach at Bayern for a long time.

How is your partnership with Mr. Hones?

No one can represent Bayern Munich like Heness. He is always outspoken—both internally or in public. He is such a person. He always wants to do his best for Bayern and has put a lot of thought into it. We have very good communication and often have intense discussions. He would talk about what they did in the past and what they should do now. But times have changed.

What impression did Kane leave on you?

He is a very special player, and more importantly, he is a very special person. He is an absolute superstar, but when you see how he interacts with teammates, physiotherapists and gear managers every day, it feels very special. That's why he is so respected. He embodies this on the court. The entire Harry Kane "combination" is outstanding. How is

Lemmer performing?

When you see how he works every day, how he integrates into the team, how he is respected, you will understand. The young men also got along very happily with him off the court. His style made him extremely popular. The way he plays, his energy and aggressiveness, is really good for the team. And he has also taken a big step on the football level.

How do you view Bayern’s youth training program and the team’s transfer strategy?

This is a very important project and a very important foundation for Bayern. We are investing a lot of expertise and money into our vast youth training camp. Our ambitious goal for the next few years is to continue to provide top-notch work, and we hope to become a top youth training academy and develop outstanding football players. Despite Bayern's huge scale and brand, we can't compete with the top English clubs when it comes to transfer fees. Therefore, we will find our own path and I firmly believe that some very good young players will emerge in the youth training camp in the next few years.

What do you think of Barcelona's young player Yamal?

What happened to him at such a young age was simply incredible. It's rare in many ways, whether it's happening around him or on the court, whether it's happening around him or on the court.

It is not easy to deal with all this, even on the psychological level. What happens around him is rare, both mentally and emotionally. In such a short time, so many influences are coming to you. Now, there is all social media. That's why it's so important for young players like this to have a healthy environment.

How do you view various rumors about Bayern from the outside world? There are always a lot of things happening around Bayern. There are so many reports and so many rumors. This club is so huge and eye-catching. If a transfer fails for some reason, it will obviously become a huge topic. But we have always said that our roster doesn’t need to make much adjustments. When our wounded return, we will have a very good team. The club did not lose any appeal. When something is reported, whether positive or negative, it is always about Bayern Munich. This is a brand, a huge brand.
