What must it be like to be Sacha Boey?
Unable to secure a happy return to Galatasaray in part due to league registration rules, he has returned to Bayern Munich only to be told very clearly by officials that the club wishes to sell him. It would be enough to make anybody upset. Still, he has participated in preseason and played in every friendly to date. The latest, a 2-1 win over Aston Villa, saw him take a knock and leave the field early.
Suspecting an injury, the press asked Bayern Munich head coach
Vincent Kompany about the potential injury were met with good news.
“I spoke to Sacha. He seems to be fine,” Kompany revealed (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). “He just took a kick. I thought he was very good. Sacha’s situation is clear – the club communicated it clearly. We’re looking for a solution. But in the end, to train and play the way he did, is part of things that impressed me. He’s giving everything. Of course you expect a professional player to do that. But I’ve seen many players in his situation who can’t do it. It was a positive performance by him.”
There are many, many people in the world who would love to train at Bayern and be paid millions a year to do so, despite the frustration that comes with Boey’s situation, but Kompany succinctly pointing out how many players still fail to do well in such a situation. Boey deserves his credit for his never ending effort.
