Hoeness talks about Karl: It s a bit exaggerated to be compared to Messi after playing 3 Bundesliga games

Bayern Honorary Chairman Hoeness and Chairman of the Supervisory Board Heiner were interviewed by the media and were asked about whether young player Karl can participate in next year's World Cup.

Hoeness said: "It's not up to us to decide. He performed very well every time he played, but we shouldn't forget whether he only played 3 or 4 Bundesliga games. I still remember when I was 20 years old, he played very well throughout the season. After performing well, the national team coach Schön pulled me aside and said that if you can maintain this performance, I will call you for the next training camp. I played well for a year before I got this opportunity. And now if a certain player plays 3 Bundesliga games. They have already compared him to Messi, which I think is a bit exaggerated."

Heiner said: "You need to maintain a rational perspective and give this young man time to grow, otherwise he will be overwhelmed by the media and everything around him. He is only 17 years old, and you have to consider his age."
