For the Munich newcomer Nicolas Jackson, after only two weeks at FCB there is already a reunion with his ex-club FC Chelsea.
Right at the start of the new Champions League season, Nicolas Jackson is particularly reunited for newcomers. The Munich gates his ex-club, FC Chelsea in the Munich Arena (Live on Wednesday from 9 p.m. and in the live ticker).
“It is of course something special to see my friends again. I’m very happy,” said the new Munich star before the duel. With the blues, Jackson had won the club World Cup and the Conference League in recent months.
It was more difficult at Chelsea
However, he is said to have no longer played a role in the plans of Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca. In the Conference League, Jackson was only in the starting eleven twice, the club World Cup was also rather unhappy for the Senegalese: he missed two games in red and was not used in the final.
In summer, Chelsea then hired two other center forward with Liam Delap and Joao Pedro – direct competition for Jackson. Perhaps another reason that the 24-year-old decided to loan to Munich. And great motivation to shine against his ex-club on Wednesday.
Crucial joker against the blues?
The offensive star celebrated his Bayern debut against HSV, came into play in the 46th minute for Serge Gnabry. Against the blues, Jackson will probably sit on the bench first. Because Eberl only explained finally “that it also takes time for it to adapt to how we want to play football, how we want to act. But I think he will learn that very quickly.”
Sturm colleague Harry Kane is already convinced by Jackson: “He has many good properties. He can have a great influence: with his speed, with his movement and also with his goals.” Already on Wednesday against Chelsea? “He definitely wants to impress his former team,” says Kane.
First important step on the way to the Henkelpott
It is certain, as well as Jackson, the team from Fulham probably knows nobody in the squad. Perhaps an advantage in preparation for Bayern coach Vincent Kompany and also a reason to give the newcomer further season on Wednesday.
Jackson clearly put his goals in Munich in his idea: “It’s about playing games and achieving big things with the club.” The biggest would be the victory in the premier class and the Munich can lay the foundation stone on Wednesday.
