Baumgart Salutes Kane's Evolution as Bayern Visit Union on 16-Game Run

Union plan a collective, ball-first defense without suspended captain Christopher Trimmel.

Overview

  • Union coach Steffen Baumgart praised Harry Kane's development in positioning, involvement on the ball, work rate and passing rather than just his goals.
  • Bayern Munich have won all 16 competitive matches this season and could equal their best Bundesliga start on Saturday.
  • The match is scheduled for Saturday at 15:30 local time and will be shown on Sky.
  • Baumgart said the challenge can only be met as a unit with high aggression toward the ball, and he insisted Union intend to play for a win rather than treat it as a bonus game.
  • Captain Christopher Trimmel is suspended, removing a key set-piece threat, and neither Baumgart nor Union have previously beaten Bayern.
