Leroy Sane had a great season last year: the guy designed 31 effective actions - more than any German from the top 5 European leagues, only two assistants behind De Bruyne, ranking second among the assistents, and for the first time in his career knocked 10 goals. The only one who was not impressed with his game was Joachim Löw, who overturned Leroy past the World Cup in Russia.
The coach of the national team knew the youngster even on the Schalke and collected a decent number of claims in his direction: first, Sane did not give the national team the same way as for the club: just one goalkeeper in 12 matches. Secondly, Leroy ignored Löw's request and refused the Confederations Cup-2017 for the sake of plastic surgery on his nose. Third, the player worked lazily in training.
In February, Guardiola yelled at the player in the subtribune during the break in the FA Cup with Wigan and accused the player of being overweight. In the second half, Sane remained on the bench, but in the next match against Arsenal all the same left in the start.
Josep forgave Sane extra kilograms - the credibility of the German was seriously shaken at the start of the Premier League-2018/2019. In the first three rounds, the player went only to replace and in total played 30 minutes, and for the match with Newcastle did not even hit the bench. According to Goal, Guardiola struck out Sanya from the application due to a negligent attitude to training.
After the International Champions Cup with Liverpool, Guardiola commented on Leroy's goal, but noted his weak readiness for the season: "Everything depends on him. He needs to play more and remember the principles of the game without the ball. Leroy has the talent to do it. We are happy that Sane scored, but he is far from the best form."
Apparently, Leroy missed a hint from Pep, and this time the Spanish coach is determined to beat out of Sane all the nonsense. Therefore, the German has two options: 1) absorb the reproaches of Guardiola and cut the genius mode from the previous season; 2) do not care about the recommendations, disappear into another club and continue to receive negativity in your address because of laziness.
The coach of Manchester City highly appreciates Sane, but will not give any relaxation in training, even if the player is a genius and gave out a wonderful season. Leroy has every chance to improve.
