In an Abendzeitung podcast, Jérôme Boateng discussed a muscle injury he sustained in late 2016 that initially seemed minor but ultimately sidelined him for several months and left long-term effects. Boateng also spoke about his experience under Carlo Ancelotti.

Boateng revealed that in December 2016, he suffered a partial tear of his pectoral muscle during training, but doctors initially misdiagnosed it. "The doctor performed an MRI on my shoulder and said everything was fine, that I could keep playing," Boateng explained. As a result, the muscle tear became a complete rupture.

Though Boateng initially expected to miss only three to four weeks, he eventually required surgery and was sidelined for four months. The injury had lasting consequences. "The entire pectoral muscle was gone. It took over a year before I felt like myself again," he said. During that period, he also suffered several additional muscle injuries.

The injury occurred during Carlo Ancelotti's first season at FC Bayern Munich. Boateng not only missed numerous matches but continued to feel the effects through the 2017/18 season, making it difficult for him to quickly return to his previous level of performance.

In the same podcast, Boateng discussed the difficult period he experienced under Ancelotti. He believes one of the biggest issues within the team was a communication barrier.

"The biggest problem was the language barrier, which was an obstacle for players who didn't speak Italian or Spanish. There were frequent misunderstandings back then," Boateng said.

However, Boateng emphasized that he learned a great deal from the Italian coach, both tactically and in terms of positioning.
