Harry Kane is expected to be in Bayern’s starting line-up for the first time on Friday evening when the reigning champions open the new Bundesliga season away from Werder Bremen. Former Munich player Nils Petersen immediately believed the Englishman was capable of great things.
SV Werder hasn’t won against FC Bayern at their home Weser Stadium since 2006. It is more than questionable whether the horror series will end on Friday, after all, world-class goalscorer Harry Kane will most likely celebrate his starting eleven premiere for the German record champion in Bremen.
Nils Petersen, who once played for FC Bayern for a season himself, is expecting a highly motivated newcomer.
“Now, as a Werder fan, you could hope that Kane doesn’t work right away, still has to get used to it, maybe even carries around the pressure of having cost more than 100 million euros as a heavy backpack. But I don’t think so.” , revealed the 34-year-old, who ended his career in the summer, in a guest article for the “Deichstube”: “Harry Kane will be there with the kick-off.”
After the painful 3-0 defeat in the Supercup against RB Leipzig, FC Bayern would “want to show the world that they can be expected (again) in all competitions this season,” predicted Petersen.
Petersen sure: Kane will be the top scorer at FC Bayern
The legendary Joker-Goalgetter advised his former club Werder not to be intimidated by FC Bayern.
“But of course you get all this, and then suddenly the real Harry Kane is in front of you on the pitch – the world star, the most expensive new signing in Bundesliga history, the captain of the English national team. That makes an impression,” said Petersen.
Especially since the former Freiburg resident is convinced that the more than 100 million euros that went from Säbener Straße to London to Tottenham Hotspur were cleverly invested: “Harry Kane will be the top scorer, I’m already committed to that.”
