Leroy Sane in good hands with Guardiola - Low


Germany head coach Joachim Low believes Pep Guardiola's track record with young players gives him peace of mind with regards to Leroy Sane's development at Manchester City.

The 20-year-old joined City for a reported £37 million during the close-season after a breakthrough campaign in the Bundesliga with Schalke made him one of the most sought-after young players in Europe.

Some suggested Sane might end up getting lost amongst the attacking talent at the Etihad Stadium and subsequently hurt his international standing, but Low believes Guardiola is the ideal man to nurture his talents.

"With Pep Guardiola we know that he has taken care of young players," he told RND.

"He does not burn them out and operates with them with clear analysis.

"There is a clear plan for Leroy."

Unlike Sane, Borussia Dortmund's Gonzalo Castro missed out on a call-up to Low's Germany squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Czech Republic and Northern Ireland, resulting in his club coach Thomas Tuchel publicly venting his disappointment.

Low was quick assure Castro and Tuchel that the energetic midfielder is very much in his thinking, though.

"We have [Castro] back in the spotlight," he added.

"He wasn't for a while because he seemed to stop in his development, but now he is doing what is needed at the highest level.

"He always gets into attack and often has a decisive say in the conclusion [of attacks]. But the competition is enormous."

IMMUNITY BILL: A MISPLACED PRIORITY

Certainly, it is not a matter of conjecture to say that the undue interference and unpalatably flagrant disregard to separation of power by the executive tier of government has raised more questions than answers on the integrity of this government and the commitment of the leadership to truly push for the genuine change in line with democratic norms all over the world.   Fatunde Bamidele Samuel (VEGA) writes from lagos. Recently, the society was encapsulated with shocking news of pension bill for the National Assembly members. However, the bill was dead on arrival. This is nothing but another heinous attempt to permanently ground the country that is already suffering from the bloodsucking bedbugs (NASS) and former governors pensions. These are almost sucking the finances of this country dry; if and only if we could act fast to salvage it then we can only hope the existence of Nigeria will not be history. The recent exploit of the National Assembly is evi...
