Müller Explains 17-Year-Old Karl’s Success at Bayern

The Bayern Munich legend Thomas Müller has highly praised the talent of the club's rising star, Lennart Karl. The 17-year-old attacking midfielder is regularly featuring in the starting lineup for the Munich side.
The wonderkid has already scored six goals and provided two assists this season. "Karl's shot technique is simply outstanding.
He finishes attacks exceptionally well — this is a serious advantage because if you play in Bayern's attack, and you are fast and energetic enough, you are bound to get scoring opportunities. That’s why his goals aren’t a coincidence.
The question that will define Karl’s future is: how consistently can he position himself well and create chances for himself? Take our old acquaintance Podolski as an example: as soon as the ball came to him in a position suitable for a left-footed strike, he would just go ‘boom.’
However, when compared to the world's best football players, he didn’t position himself in favorable shooting spots frequently enough," said the 36-year-old Vancouver Whitecaps forward in an interview with Süddeutsche Zeitung. It should be noted that Thomas Müller left Bayern Munich last summer.
