Leroy Sané is currently doing very well with FC Bayern, but the 25-year-old also regularly takes a look at his ex-club Schalke 04.
Bayern star Leroy Sané still has a heart for his former club FC Schalke 04. “At least always in the live ticker,” the national player assured his fans via Twitter that he followed Gelsenkirchen’s games even after they were relegated to the 2nd Bundesliga. There, before the seventh Bundesliga matchday, Sané answered selected questions from users of the short message service. He “definitely keeps his fingers crossed for Schalke,” wrote Sané. “Coming back up will be very, very difficult, but it is definitely doable,” said the 25-year-old.
“It has to go up again – for the fans, for the city”

Born in Essen, he played for Schalke from 2005 to 2008 and from 2011 to 2016 before moving to Manchester City. He also graduated from school in Gelsenkirchen. “It has to go up again – for the fans, for the city,” wrote Sané. The offensive player has been in the service of FC Bayern Munich since last year and has recently experienced a form high under the new coach Julian Nagelsmann. On Sunday (5.30 p.m. / DAZN) the German record champions receive Frankfurt Eintracht in the Bundesliga.
Ex-Schalke first criticized, now celebrated
Most recently, the German national player was able to look forward to “Leroy, Leroy” shouts from the Munich fans who had whistled him at the beginning of the season. “I always work hard on myself and always try to focus on myself. It’s been going well in the last few weeks, ”remarked the national player happily. Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann also certified his number 10 on Wednesday evening as “an outstanding game”. With his powerful shot from the left wing, Sané ensured Bayern’s 4-0 win against Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League (final score: 5-0).
But Leroy Sané had no intention of doing this. The ex-FC Schalke 04 player openly and honestly admitted that his powerful shot to make it 4-0 from the left wing, with which he surprised Kiev’s goalkeeper on Wednesday evening, was not so intentional. “No, it wasn’t on purpose. I wanted to cross in normally. I was a little lucky that my technique wasn’t that good at the moment, ”said Sané after FC Bayern Munich’s 5-0 win in the second group game of the Champions League on the DAZN streaming service.
