A mixture of top stars and top talents – Bayern boss Hasan Salihamidzic and his squad planners around Marco Neppe take their job seriously!
After the two offensive youngsters Paul Wanner (17) and Arijon Ibrahimovic (17) a highly talented central defender should become a full member of Munich’s professional squad in the summer.
“The plan is for Buchmann to train with the pros from the summer. He is considered the most talented central defender in his age group in Germany. This is a player that those responsible definitely have on their screens for the next few years.” SPORTS1-Chief reporter Kerry Hau on episode 16 of the podcast “Bavaria Week” .
Buchmann, son of a German father and a Togolese father, has already proven himself several times in training under the direction of Julian Nagelsmann on Säbener Straße and at the training camp in Qatar – and left a convincing impression. (REPORT: Nagelsmann had these youngsters with him in Qatar)
“He’s currently training with us from time to time. But that’s not possible every day because Buchmann is still doing his Abitur and has to go to school in the morning when the pros are training,” reports Hau. (NEWS: All current information regarding the Bundesliga)
What are Buchmann’s strengths? He impresses with his robustness and his understanding of the game. “Calm, clarified and controlled” is what the reporter calls the teenager’s style of play. “He’s very advanced for his age!”
Also part of the maturing process: the development of one’s own personality. Hau: “He has to come out a little more on the pitch, give more commands, and he can also be braver – that was the feedback he got following the training camp in Qatar.” (DATA: Bundesliga schedule)
Like the 2014 world champion, he also wants to assert himself at Bayern, although he has to get match practice primarily from the U19s and U23s.
Beyond the season, those responsible for Salihamidzic are planning in central defense with Matthijs de Ligt, Dayot Upamecano and Lucas Hernández. (DATA: The table of the Bundesliga)
It is currently uncertain whether the six-month collaboration with Daley Blind, who was signed in January, will continue. Top talent Buchmann might take over the Dutchman’s role as central defender number four in the long term.
