MUNICH (dpa-AFX) – How should Borussia Dortmund (BVB (Borussia Dortmund)) stop Bayern star striker Harry Kane in the top Bundesliga game in Munich? Record national soccer player Lothar Matthäus has a very specific – and somewhat out of date – suggestion for Borussia on Saturday evening (6.30 p.m./Sky): “Against Kane you might have to play a bit ‘old fashioned’. You can’t give Kane any space,” said Matthäus. So man coverage? “Yes, up to the center line,” he emphasized.
At the age of 32, Harry Kane is in the form of his life; The English national team captain has already scored 18 goals in ten competitive games for Munich. Maybe that’s why the goal guarantor can only be dealt with using supposedly old-fashioned means, said Matthäus. “So from the halfway line onwards! If Kane lets himself go and nobody goes with him, then Kane is free. And he can not only score goals, but also give passes.”
Matthäus is betting on Bayern
For some time now, the London native has not only appeared as a goalscorer, but also as a playmaker behind the strikers. At times Kane even gets the ball in his own half and helps build up the game.
Also because of the super offensive with Kane, Michael Olise, Luis Díaz and Serge Gnabry, the Munich team are the favorites to win for Matthäus. “I believe that Bayern will be ahead,” predicted the ex-professional.
Forecast for the rest of the season: Bayern victory would be a “decision”
A Bayern victory over rivals Dortmund on matchday seven would have a final impact on the entire season for Matthäus. “Then it’s the decision,” emphasized the former Munich captain.
If Bayern win, they will end up with an even bigger lead than last season, said Matthäus. The record champions won the championship this spring with a 13-point lead. And in the second year under coach Vincent Kompany, the team is even better and has even more fun with football, says the Sky expert./msw/DP/zb
