Bayern Munich star Kingsley Coman says his teammates make fun of him for being frightened of heading the ball.
Coman has established himself as one of the world's best wingers in recent years for both France and the Bavarians.
Coman's comments come as a surprise as he got the winning goal in the UEFA Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain with a header.
"It's just the way it is that I get a bit frightened of heading the ball, and my team-mates make fun of me over it," Coman told Bild.
"You can see it in the pictures. I closed my eyes for the header. It's instinctive - a natural reflex. I always try to keep my eyes open, but at the last moment I always have this reflex."
While he has become a bigger threat in front of goal, Coman feels he won't be a player that scores 30 goals more in one season.
"I've had to be more present in front of goal and I'm creating more chances," he told Le Parisien in 2019.
"I don't think I'll ever be someone to score 30, 40 or 50 goals in a season. This instinct to be a killer in front of goal, it's not natural to me, even if I work for it.
"I love creating goals. But I know that scoring is very important. So I'm strict with myself and I try to be more egotistical."
