Lennart Karl: I insisted on moving to Bayern Munich despite my parents' opposition

Lennart Karl, a player for Bayern Munich, spoke in an interview with the German network "DAZN" about his decision to move to the Bavarian club at the age of 14, despite his parents' initial reluctance.

Lennart Karl said: "My parents were not entirely convinced, especially my mother. But from the very first moment Bayern Munich's name was mentioned, I said I wanted to go there."

He added: "When I saw the training facility for the first time, I told myself that I wanted to go there, and that I would do it and follow this path to the end. My parents did not fully support my decision, and I had other offers as well, but I said that I would move forward with my decision."

The German player continued: "I left home when I was fourteen years old and moved to boarding school. I felt a bit homesick during the first two weeks and wondered how things would go. But then I got to know the boys at the boarding school, and things moved very quickly."

Karl concluded his remarks by saying: "When I started spending time with the boys every day, and playing football daily, that was a truly wonderful time for me."
