Kingsley Coman has been one of Bayern’s best performers on a day-to-day basis this season but he’s admitted he will never be as lethal as Robert Lewandowski in front of goal.
Through 15 games this season, the 23-year-old has scored three goals and five assists, and Coman set his sights on breaking his personal-best mark of 12 goals in a season.
“Yes, I’m forcing myself to be more present in front of goal,” Coman told Le Parisien. “I’m creating more opportunities for myself. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes not.
“That said, I don’t think I will ever score 30, 40, 50 goals. That killer instinct in front of goal — I’m working on it, but it’s not natural for me.
“I love a decisive pass. But I know that goals have become very important. So I’m doing violence to myself, I’m trying to be more egotistical.
“[My goal is to score] definitely more than 12, yes. My objective is to pass that. Stats are very important, I know.
“But I’ll never pervert my game and always be on the surface. I’m a winger; my game is primarily to create. There needs to be homogeneity and different players on a team.”
In 139 career appearances with Bayern, Coman has accumulated 28 goals and 33 assists.
