German media: Bayern has limited choices at the No. 6 position, young player Debord is expected to get more opportunities for the first team to play

Bayern young player Santos Deborer's performance against Lyon is remarkable, and he even attracted the attention of the team's legend Mueller earlier. German media sports1 reported that the midfielder is expected to get more opportunities for the first team to play in the next.

reported that during the preparation stage, Bayern also gave some youth training players the opportunity to show themselves, with Santos Deborer making his team's debut against Lyon on Saturday, and he had already surprised Mueller in training in April.

At that time, during a warm-up sprint practice, Mueller competed with the 18-year-old, and Daber effortlessly surpassed Mueller, who was stunned and shouted on the training ground: "If this is just 70% of your speed, then you are the fastest runner I have ever seen!".

How did Debor react? He quipped, "We had to use 80% of our strength at that time," and the assistant coach later confirmed this, and Mueller could hardly believe it. He smiled and hugged his head with his hands. In any case, this anecdote shows that he possesses a very valuable trait for his future development: he does not show awe even with Bayern legends.

In his first team debut against Lyon, Deborer also showed the same calmness: he fought side by side with Kimmich, acting like he had played in this position for many years. He made little mistakes, seemed unusually calm when he was in possession, and had a high pass success rate.

Of course, he didn't do everything perfectly, and he might occasionally choose to return backs with an overly conservative manner, but his performance was exactly what the team needed at the time: he was barely noticeable in the game, which was an advantage for a defensive six.

Dyber stands out with a stable and reliable performance, providing protection on the backside for Kimmich, who is more in front. After the game, he and other Bayern youth training players who had the opportunity in the game were praised by Kimmich and Bayern sports director Froinde.

Despite struggling with a long knee injury in the U19 team last season, Debord was still called by coach Kompany to the Club World Cup this summer, but he did not get a chance to play. His performance at the end of the U19 season touched Kompani, believing that he showed "the sense of game as a midfielder".

Sport1's article pointed out that with Palinia's departure, Debor may have a real opportunity. Currently, Bayern does lack personnel depth in the No. 6 position: Palinia leaves the team, Pavlovic is absent due to injury, Lemmer continues to serve as right back, Kompany only has three genuine No. 6 positions available, Kimmich, Gretzka and Bischov.

Therefore, Deborer may appear more in the first team in the future. If he can surprise people outside Mueller next, he may have a promising career.
