Former Bayern Munich coach and current German national team boss Julian Nagelsmann liked seeing Nick Woltemade score his first two goals for Newcastle United, but lalso thinks the young striker needs to make some improvements.
“Okay. Sure, he’s scored two headers now, which was also good and important for him. I think it’s important that you make a good impression when you have such a price tag,” Nagelsmann said (as captured by Sport1). “Goals are simply the most striking and valuable thing. I think he did
quite well; I watched yesterday’s game as well. He still has a few steps to take within the team. He still needs to find his perfect fit.
“He’s on the right track. With two goals, he’s definitely made a good start.”
Woltemade could be a key figure for Germany moving forward, but competition for the No. 9 role will be intense. Niclas Füllkrug will be vying for time, but injured attackers Tim Kleindienst and Kai Havertz also figure to be in the mix. While Woltemade has a chance to cement his role, he cannot afford to take a step back in England.
Bayern Munich is cruising and heading into another Champions League, so let’s take a look at the factors that have powered the team so far.
Harry Kane has been a beast, the squad is driven, and — by and large — personnel decisions have worked out well. Let’s get into all of that and more on this edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works Show. This is what we have on tap:
- Why has Harry Kane been better than ever? (Less need for him to work in build-up, better complimentary players around him — losing Sane and Coman was massive, more aggressive attacking game plan and sometime more direct, truly the focal point
- Is it possible that Harry Kane will stay at Bayern Munich? He is not dismissing the possibility.
- Yes! We avoided a #BayernKaren situation. We are rejoicing this in Philadelphia.
- Tying up some loose ends — let’s check in on Leroy Sane, Kingsley Coman, João Palhinha, Paul Wanner, Mathys Tel, and Adam Aznou.
