Not many believed him to have a great career at FC Bayern.

Joshua Zirkzee is now drawing a lot of attention in Belgium.

Anderlecht - "He's too good for Belgium," said his coach about him.

And he's not just anyone, but long-time top defender Vincent Kompany.

Joshua Zirkzee * made a name for himself during his loan at RSC Anderlecht - the management of FC Bayern * should also register this with goodwill.

The Dutchman has 11 goals and eight assists after 25 games for the Belgian record champions.

But the most important thing is: he is a regular player and made more professional encounters in six months than in his previous career together.

After all, playing time is the point of a loan.

FC Bayern: Joshua Zirkzee snaps on loan in Belgium

He has already proven his talent at FC Bayern as a joker.

But time and again it leaked out that Zirkzee already thinks himself too good and is not ready to work hard.

There now seems to be little or nothing left of a lack of attitude and a lack of humility.

At

he reacts

modestly to

Kompany's compliment

: “If that comes out of his mouth, of course it's a big compliment.

But I don't agree with him that I'm too good for Belgian football. ”Although things are going so well at the moment, the 20-year-old has not forgotten his great ambitions.

Joshua Zirkzee: "The FC Bayern chapter is not yet over"

“The FC Bayern Munich chapter is not over yet,” he says.

His loan ends in the summer, he wants to return to Munich and start a new attempt.

His farewell was a little inglorious: In the test match against Ajax Amsterdam under Julian Nagelsmann, he became a laughing stock with a missed chance when he casually ran towards the empty goal and let the ball be stolen.

Now it is going through a maturation process.

Despite his good season in Belgium, the way to a regular place at Bayern is still a long way.

There is no lack of talent.
