Bayern Munich opens a new Bundesliga season visiting Werder Bremen this Friday, in an attractive match that can be watched on Star+.
The Bavarians, like every year, carry the title of favorites. Especially with the reinforcements they brought in, such as the stellar arrival of Harry Kane in the attack, Kim Min-Jae in the defense, and Raphaël Guerreiro as a wild-card, among others. However, it is a mystery how they arrive at this match, as they come from a heavy defeat against RB Leipzig in the DFB-Pokal final (0-3).
Tuchel's team will have a challenge in which they will compete against themselves in the quest for their twelfth consecutive league title. However, the memory of last season is not far away, when they were able to celebrate because Borussia Dortmund failed to win in the final match against Mainz.
They do not seem to be the dominant Bayern of the past, but the weight will fall on a manager who has not stood out since his arrival: he was eliminated from the DFB-Pokal and the Champions League, won the Bundesliga by a hair, and started the season losing a final. It will depend on him to blend the extensive talent he has in the squad.
Bremen, on the other hand, did not have the best season last year, finishing in 13th place after being promoted. With several new faces, the team from northern Germany will seek to improve their performance and, why not, dream of a place in international competitions. The most notable addition in their transfer market was the signing of Naby Keita, who was free from Liverpool.
