Luis Díaz, the new Colombian star, is already lighting up the pitch for Bayern. He’s had a fantastic start with his new club. Díaz even netted Bayern’s second goal in their 2-1 victory over Stuttgart. That win sealed the German Supercup title for the team. His teammate Harry Kane has nothing but praise for him. Kane predicts a strong first Bundesliga season for the South American forward. He even went so far as to guess how many goals Díaz might score.
“I think it’s easy to see what he offers the team,” Kane said about Díaz. “Especially in one-on-one situations, he gets into the area well. He knows how to finish too. I think he can end the season with 15 or 20 goals.” That’s high praise coming from one of the best strikers in the game. It shows how quickly Díaz has settled in and impressed his new colleagues.
Speaking of Bayern’s ongoing business, Nick Woltemade remains on their radar. Woltemade is a forward for Stuttgart. Christoph Freund, Bayern’s sporting director, talked about the possibility of new players joining. “The transfer window only closes on September 1,” Freund mentioned. He added a common football truth: “In football, we can never reject anything 100 percent.” This means the club is still looking for ways to strengthen its squad before the deadline.
Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund made sure they booked their spot in the German Cup second round. They visited Rot-Weiss Essen, a much smaller club. Despite the clear difference in quality between the two teams, Dortmund only managed a narrow 1-0 win. Guirassy scored the decisive goal in the 79th minute, sending Dortmund through to the next stage.
