As the two clubs prepare to face each other in the Champions League semifinals, Coman reflected on his relationship with both clubs during a conversation with FCBayern.com. “The foundation you lay as a young player – your playing style, the vision of what kind of player you want to become – I took all of that with me from Paris. At Bayern, I learned what it means to play in a team that has to win – and that will win. It was there that I primarily developed that mentality on the pitch, naturally also under different coaches. My style originated in Paris; at Bayern, efficiency, hard work, and the winning mentality were added. If you want to win every year, you have to work every day and never let go of that mentality. It’s demanding, but it’s worth it because that’s precisely what makes the difference in the end,” said Coman. “On a night like this, you have to be the best version of yourself. At the same time, you can’t treat the game any differently than a normal one. You can’t suddenly do much more. If you normally run 11 kilometers, you don’t just run 14 in a semi-final. Otherwise, you’ll be exhausted after 40 minutes, and your performance will actually suffer. That’s why patience is so important: you don’t have to change everything, but rather do exactly what got you here – only at the highest level. That usually comes with experience.” The two clubs clearly had an impact on Coman’s development as a professional. Instead of being on the pitch this time around, Coman will get a chance to sit back and watch a battle. No doubt, it will be a different experience for Coman. *If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on , , , or any leading podcast distributor…*
