Bundesliga: Imperial Bavaria to HSV-Watschn ready for Chelsea

After the next Watschn for Hamburger SV, the masterly started Bayern professionals in the head switched directly to the first big season examination against the club world champion. Chelsea FC comes to Munich on Wednesday (9:00 p.m./DAZN) – and not only Max Eberl is “excited about the big game” at the start of the Champions League. After a week that coincided with memorable statements about sports director Eberl, it is again about football.

“This is the competition that excites us the most,” said Serge Gnabry after the flawless nine-point start in the Bundesliga to prioritize the European premier class. And not only the national player, who opened the goal series with his brilliant 1-0, feels “especially in the flow”. The entire Munich team – and especially the ball men around Harry Kane – are in a early form that also arouses internationally high expectations.

Kane: Here we can beat everyone

“I expect a difficult game. Chelsea is a really good team. They had a fantastic tournament at the Club World Cup in the USA. But they come to the Allianz Arena here, where we feel that we can hit everyone. We want to start competition well,” said Kane. He scored twice against HSV. The Englishman is now in 67 goals in 66 Bundesliga games.

In addition to Gnabry and Kane, Aleksandar Pavlovic and Luis Díaz met against an HSV, who was completely helpless after seven second division years at the Munich comeback and seamlessly linked the times of the past. “There are really a few horny gamers at Bayern,” said HSV sports director Stefan Kuntz appreciatively – and forgiving with his boys.

Neuer remains with the DFB withdrawal: “Yes”

Bayern’s appearance on the day after the ceremonial unveiling of the bronze statue in honor of club legend Franz Beckenbauer on the Esplanade in front of the stadium had to Kaiserlich. Captain Manuel Neuer spoke of “a rousing game” after ending the discussions about his possible return to the goal of the national team. It stays with the DFB resignation, “yes”.

Together with the Bayern fans among the 75,000 spectators, coach Vincent Kompany enjoyed a relaxing evening against HSV, for which he was still in Munich in 2008. “It almost had something of Oktoberfest atmosphere and was really fun,” enthused Kompany.

The Mega Volksfest starts next weekend. In advance, the HSV, who was lucky, was given a neatly poured manner that Kompany and Bayern at some point thought of Chelsea at some point. Kane, who, according to Eberl, “currently elementary important” Gnabry or Luis Díaz were allowed to end her Tore delivery service prematurely.

Jackson is looking forward to the old buddies

So Nicolas Jackson also came to his 45 minutes in the Bavaria jersey. The initially 16.5 million euro loan player with the still four times higher purchase option is intended to strengthen the sparsely occupied offensive department. Kompany trusts the 24 -year -old Chelsea loan player an “important role” – once he got used to the team. The premiere still remained without a bang.

“He has a lot of good skills and he is here to help us. I think he can have a big impact this season with his pace, his movements, his goal,” said Kane. Jackson is “an important addition”. And he sees himself primarily as “a nine” like Kane.

Kane did not want to classify the new teammate primarily as a “back-up for me”, but rather sees him more behind or next to. Bavaria’s last minute access is now looking forward to the fleet again with Chelsea after “an exciting” premiere evening in the Munich arena. “For Nicolas it is a special game against his old buddies,” said Eberl.
