Leroy Sané is currently only in demand as a joker at Bayern Munich.

Michael Ballack is harshly critical of the offensive star, but at the same time expresses hope.

Munich – It's not Leroy Sané's season yet.

The highly talented speed dribbler finds himself on the bench at the start of the season and is only in demand as a substitute in the first few games.

FC Bayern's offensive is in full swing even without Sané, as underlined by 13 goals in three games.

The Sané dilemma.

Particularly bitter: Despite Kingsley Coman's red suspension, Sané is only a second choice, in the coming game the Frenchman is eligible to play again and intensifies the competitive situation again.

In addition, with Jamal Musiala, a new star is rising in the Bavarian sky, the youngster is enraptured by football in Germany and is already seen by Lothar Matthäus as a future world footballer.

And Sane?

Once again he has to face heavy criticism – this time from ex-Bayern star Michael Ballack.

Leroy Sané at Bayern only replacement: Michael Ballack criticizes the attitude

“He's a bit moody with body language at times.

He doesn't have to, he can't, if he wants to become an absolute world-class player," Ballack said on the edge of FC Bayern's 2-0 win over VfL Wolfsburg about Sané, who came on as a substitute in the second half.

The 26-year-old has character "here and there room for improvement" in order to exploit his potential, Ballack added to

Sané had only been substituted on by coach Julian Nagelsmann in the Supercup against DFB Cup winners RB Leipzig and at the start of the league at Eintracht Frankfurt and only had 37 minutes of playing time.

This time the German national player had at least a whole half time to draw attention to himself as a substitute for the ailing Serge Gnabry.

Without success: while Sané scored one point in each of the first two competitive games, he was not involved in a goal against Wolfsburg.

The offensive player showed a lot of effort and became dangerous with two shots on goal, but to the annoyance of the crowd he also lost the ball a few times.

Sané currently has no prospect of starting eleven, but that could only change at the end of August with the start of the English weeks.

There are four places up for grabs in Bayern's attack, two of which are reserved for top dogs led by superstar Sadio Mané and FCB veteran Thomas Müller.

For the other two positions, Sané has to duel with Musiala, who is currently indispensable, and Gnabry and Coman, who is eligible to play again in Bochum.

"When I'm blessed with so much talent, it's always a shame when you don't pull it off," Ballack said.

Sané, who was last associated with a farewell to Manchester United, had to put up with this claim.

However, when the Bayern star exploits his opportunities, Ballack is "confident that he will also have a place in the Bayern team's top eleven, permanently".

The only question is when the time will finally come.

The Bayern fans, Nagelsmann or national coach Hansi Flick should be happy.
