Kingsley Coeman: Ronaldo Jr. is why I want to play football and want to win at least one more Champions League

Live bar February 3 News In January this year, Bayern and team winger Kingsley Koeman renewed their contract until 2027. In an interview with SPORT1, the Frenchman talked about multiple topics about his career.

About your own renewal

I am very happy that I no longer have to talk about the renewal of my contract and I am very happy and proud to continue to play for Bayern. With a contract extension with Bayern, I made the best decision for myself and my career.

About why I had considered leaving

There are a lot of reasons for this, I've been through a lot here and won a lot of championships. In a situation like this, you will of course consider whether you should try something else. So, I had to think about what I wanted and where I wanted to go. I just need time to make some decisions.

On why I decided to stay at Bayern

I had a lot of good communication with the club executives and the head coach. At some point, it became clear that I realized I had everything here, so I didn't have to look for other opportunities.

Bayern is like my home. When you get a lot of help like I did, especially if you had heart surgery early in the season, you obviously want to reciprocate them. You want to go to battle and give everything you have for the people who help you.

On how Nagarsman persuaded himself to stay

In a word, he trusts me a lot. When you have that trust, you feel really good. From the very beginning he said he supported me and he said I was very important to him and to the team and he would want me to stay at Bayern. Also, he messaged me on WhatsApp. He's a head coach who has a lot of interactions with his players, and that's not just me. I love the way he looks at football, it makes it easier for me to make decisions.

It's about whether you're reaching your full potential

I felt like I was far from the limit and I needed to improve my data. Whether on the offensive or defensive end, I feel like I've done a lot of work in the game. But now I have to score more goals, give more assists and I want to be one of the best players in the same position.

About your idols

My idol is Ronaldinho and he's the reason I want to play.

About scoring goals in his Champions League final

He was just a game, of course I scored a special and very important goal. However, I will score more goals. I want to score more goals, get more assists, win more titles. Also, I hope to win at least one more Champions League. If we can win the Champions League once or twice in the next five years, then we will be satisfied with ourselves.

About Bayern's transfer strategy

Bayern are a well-funded club, but not as wealthy as Premier League clubs and Paris Saint-Germain. However, money is definitely not the only factor, we are a real team. We are a team that is united in the face of difficulties, and that is the most important aspect.

About teammates who left the deepest impression on themselves

It's really hard to pick one of them, but if I had to pick one I'd say Kimmich. He's so good, he can play not only in midfield but also at right-back, he's very smart and very reliable.
