'Sane is misunderstood like Ozil' - Former Schalke youth coach defends Man City star's body language

The German wide-man's former mentor has suggested that criticism of his former charge is unfair, comparing him to the Gunners midfielder

Schalke under-19s head coach Norbert Elgert has defended Manchester City winger Leroy Sane’s body language, comparing him to Arsenal star Mesut Ozil.

Both players have had their attitude and application questioned due to their body language, but Elgert believes that is unfair.

He also insists that Sane has a future with the German national team, despite being left out of Joachim Low’s squad at the World Cup in Russia last year.
