"Karl is poised to do big things. He has all the gifts as well as the mentality and ambition. What he needs most, as with any youngster with his potential, is to keep his head in the game - and the whole club seems to recognize that. And what a great advertisement for the development platform FC Bayern has on offer it will be when he succeeds."
"Karl has positively sparkled, from his fifth-minute goal against Club Brugge to his 81st-minute curler against Gladbach the very next game - to his start against Bayer Leverkusen in a 3-0 Bundesliga triumph. "He simply loves playing football. He's having fun, he wants to play," Freund added. "It's a great story, but we all know that hard work is the foundation. He trains very diligently - that's crucial. Everything else will follow naturally.""
