Luis Diaz Decisive for Bayern Munich in Supercup’s victory: Harry Kane rocks a new teammate to score 15 to 20 goals | Football news

Luis Diaz called him “spectacular night” when he scored what turned out to be a second important goal when Bayern Munich was held to beat the VFB Stuttgart 2-1 in Franz Beckenbauer Supercup. It was the perfect illustration of the reason why Bayern wanted it.

The costs that were paid to Liverpool this summer could reach 64.7 million pounds sterling and which could seem a little big for a winger who will be 29 years old in January. But when Diaz ghostly to go home, it was a little overview of what the Colombian adds to this side of Bayern.

At first glance, Bayern had a plethora of fine options that they were able to shoot in large areas last season. Since supporters are used to seeing such quality in these positions, the bar is defined for Diaz to impress the Champions of Bundesliga.

But dig a little more and there is hope that he can make the difference when it matters most. For example, while Kingsley Coman, now from Al Nassr, found the net nine times last season, each of these goals came in victories that did not have to score.

The aggregate in these matches was 36-2.

Leroy Sane, who left for Galatasaray, scored two goals against St Pauli in a 3-2 victory, but it was the only match that Bayern won directly because of his goals. Diaz has already been decisive and, as Harry Kane explains, this is what he is able to bring to this team.

To question Kane on this subject after the match, he said: “I think you can see what he brings an an-v-one on the wing. Really sharp, really agile. I think that his biggest asset, and probably what will be great for us this year is the fact that he marks goals as he did today.”

Kane added: “He arrives in this box of six yards, he does these races and he has an excellent finish. I think it is important, especially in this modern football, so that the wingers score, hopefully, 15 to 20 goals per season. The goal was a great race, a big finish.”

The captain of England continued: “He had a few others with whom he was unlucky in the game. For him, it will be great confidence. Mark in your first competition match for a new club is great and for it to be the winning goal is a perfect start for him.”

Kane, of course, was denied this perfect beginning during his beginnings in Bayern there were two of them when he was plunged into a supercup on a home floor which ended with a 3-0 shock defeat against RB Leipzig. His transfer was only completed in the early hours this morning.

By thinking about this at the end of the night at Stuttgart, Kane now describes all of this as “a little whirlwind” and “a crazy 24 hours” – but the benefits lasted longer. He stole Bayern of the momentum and ended up abandoning the title for the first time in 11 years.

Musiala and Muller empty to fill

“It is important to have this momentum to start the year,” he said now. He feels particularly key after a disappointing club World Cup, during which Jamal Musiala was seriously injured and the massive figure of the Thomas Muller keys said goodbye.

Kane admits that players always get used to life without the latter. “He only left last week. We have to wait impatiently, we have to move on. He was a great character, but it gives others the opportunity to intensify and be this leader, whether this person.”

There is no choice. The requests to Bayern are relentless. “We celebrate each trophy as if it were the first and we go to the next.” This means seeking to keep the title of Bundesliga before reaching their ultimate ambition to win the Champions League.

“We will be one of the favorites. PSG, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Man City, Liverpool, all the big teams will have an eye on this trophy. But as we know, there is a long journey from this end.

Diaz working ethics can help Bayern

This champions League is the main reason why Diaz is in Bavaria. It is undeniable that Bayern has proven to be able to punish the lower opposition under Vincent Kompany, but there are still question points against the strongest parts.

They were eliminated from the cup by Bayer Leverkusen and beaten by Barcelona long before the Inter listed them from the Champions League. They attracted two klassikers against Borussia Dortmund and lost the two games of the Club World Cup against the European opposition.

It is suspected that they must increase the work rate if they want to go out in these games, adding energy on and outside the ball. It was interesting to note that even if Diaz clearly put himself at speed, it was the specific quality cited in Stuttgart.

Bayern sports director, Christoph Freund, told journalists afterwards: “You might see how sustainable he is. I think it’s a very important point on the whole season, that he is a player who works very, very hard and can still do decisive things in advance.”

Kane: Bayern is a bit light

Maybe Bayern will still need more. Kane himself alluded to some of the challenges. “It was a short pre-season. We had to do a lot of things in a short time.” It was even unusually frank on the requirement of more new signatures.

“This is one of the smallest teams in which I probably played. There is still time until the end of the transfer window. We have some very good young players who did well during the pre-season matches, but we are a little light, if we are honest.

“We are going to need everyone. With the team we have, everyone is going to play, everyone is going to get opportunities. There will be times when each individual must intensify and show what he can do.” Luis Diaz, of course, has already done so.
