Back on September 18th, Eintracht Frankfurt rocked Galatasaray 5-1.
Afterward, Galatasaray fans were very vocal in criticizing the team. For former Bayern Munich star Leroy Sané it was deserved criticism.
“The fans are naturally very emotional. When you play well, you’re celebrated incredibly, and then things can get a bit heated when you lose. It’s understandable that there might be some criticism, especially when you lose 1-5 in the Champions League. The fans certainly have every right to criticize
us,” Sané told Sky Germany’s Kerry Hau.
Sané was accustomed to the vocal nature of fans from his time in Bavaria. Sometimes he was praised, other times he was bashed. With that, the Germany international has built up a thick skin — and an understanding that bad performances often elicit outrage from fans, especially online.
While those things might have been tough to endure for Sané at the time he first dealt with them, it has toughened him up and helped him understand the plight of passionate fans.
