HONG KONG, July 1 - Bayern Munich coach Ottmar Hitzfeld expects great
things from Miroslav Klose next season after watching the Germany striker
score on his debut.
Klose got the equaliser in Bayern's 2-1 win over Brazilian club Sao Paulo
in a friendly on Sunday before Hamit Altintop, another of Bayern's
signings for the new season, grabbed the winner. Marcel had given Sao
Paulo a first-half lead.
"It's very important for the morale of a new player to deal with the
pressure ... so having a successful debut for Bayern Munich will help him
a lot," Hitzfeld told reporters.
"He has a lot of possibilities, a lot of skills and he's also an integral
part of the German national squad. He's very quick, very mobile, so I
expect a lot from him next season."
The 29-year-old Klose, top scorer at last year's World Cup in Germany,
was signed from Werder Bremen on Tuesday in a deal worth an estimated 10
million euros ($13.45 million).
The Hong Kong "Reunification Cup" match marked the former British
colony's 10th anniversary under Chinese rule on July 1.
