Konrad Laimer
Written by Andreas Haguenauer and Lukas Zahrer for Der Standard:
If you see the team as a pressing machine, Konrad Laimer often functions as its spark. A real fighter on the pitch, he embodies a dynamic star player with a never-give-up mentality. Laimer is not shy about nudging his teammates if he senses they're a bit slow on the counterpress. He strives to be a dependable player in defence, aiding his team in gaining control of a game. He cites Steven Gerrard as his role model. Laimer said he would never buy a Porsche, because he doesn’t need something like that. True to his word, since his transfer to Bayern last summer, he drives an Audi as his company car. He served as the best man at his teammate Stefan Lainer’s wedding. Loves Nutella and detests pineapple on pizza.
