The Munich squad planner had imagined it, for example, when they were added to Jackson on the Deadline Day. You see him not only an alternative, but also a possible addition to stemmers Harry Kane.
What the interplay of the two can look like was observed in Cyprus. Kane acted somewhat withdrawn as a playmaker and hanging tip behind Jackson, who occupied the storm center. There Kane enriched the Bayern game-without robbing his strengths as a scorer. And at the same time, Jackson also came into its own in the attack center.
Jackson thus helps Bayern even more depth, pace and, above all, flexibility on the offensive and develops into an important alternative in this form.
Accordingly, the Senegalese was satisfied after his best game for Bavaria so far, in which he was finally able to collect his first scorer points in fifth use.
“I am very happy. You know a fresh start,” said Jackson afterwards. “Of course I haven’t played for a long time and so on, but now I get back into shape and try to achieve my best level as soon as possible.” At Chelsea FC, Jackson got offside, recently got no game practice for two months and was only allowed to train individually and no longer with the team.
In Munich, however, Jackson is right in the middle of it. He also feels in good hands there, as he revealed. “I feel at home, everyone received me very well.” And he has now started to repay the trust placed in financial terms. It will be interesting to see whether and in what form the risky bet of Bayern with Jackson will end up.
