If your summer has been rotten, you can reassure yourself by thinking of that of Kingsley Coman: a championship title which eludes him for the first time in his career, fifteen minutes of play at Euro 2024 and a golden bridge to Saudi Arabia (at Al-Hilal) which collapsed in the last minutes of the transfer window. Despite this, and against all expectations, the player trained at Paris SG seems, at 28 years old, to be in the form of his life. Again. To the point of having once again become essential in the Record champions. Again.
“He is back to his best level »
Pushed towards the exit by his managers during the off-season, Coman, present at the club for ten seasons now, seems to have perfectly digested this bad patch. The proof is that the left winger scored in three consecutive matches for the second time in his career in the Bundesliga, scoring the break goal against Union Berlin this weekend. Under the spell, his trainer Vincent Kompany dropped a few sweet words about his protégé. « King is currently physically sharp and inspired during matchesrejoiced the Bayern technician. He’s back to his best level, that’s obvious. The whole team benefits. He deserves it given his daily investment. » An opinion shared by Christoph Freund, the Bavarian sports director: « King is an essential player and the fact that he never gave up proves his exemplary state of mind. Not only does he score and he transforms into a passer, but he is also valuable in the defensive withdrawal. With such an attractive face, it's hard to do without her services. » But how can we explain this sudden return to the fore?
Becoming lively, elusive and technically accurate again, the French international has established a real complementarity with Harry Kane, the recipient of his two assists this season. Faced with the Union, this complicity was obvious. The English striker, already the author of 17 goals in this 2024-2025 financial year, served Coman with a subtle slammed pass before the latter returned the favor with a header to make it 3-0. Falling in love with the team's 9 helps you appear on the scoresheet more often. First confined to a few minutes during the first championship matches, the left winger relegated Serge Gnabry to the bench and managed to face titanic competition from the club with 33 German championship titles (Leroy Sané, Thomas Müller , Michael Olise, Mathys Tel). These performances should not leave the coach of the France team indifferent.
Among the Blues, a small absence and here we go again?
Zapped by Didier Deschamps during the rallies last September and October, Kingsley Coman had paid for the turnover desired by “DD”. At the end of August, the latter assured that it was not linked to his anonymous Euro: “Whether it concerns Benjamin (Pavard), Kingsley (Coman) or others, it is punctual. I don't have a radical position. » With his flamboyant start to the season, the Bavarian can logically hope to appear in the list, announced Thursday, for the League of Nations matches against Israel and Italy. But the rest of his adventure with the Blues does not necessarily depend only on him. With competition ever fiercer with the emergence of young players and the feeling that he will never be more than a disappointing promise in the selection, “King” has a fragile status. It's up to him to show that he can still be a solid asset for the Blues and for Bayern.
