IRNA - German football legend Franz
Beckenbauer is confident Iranian football star Ali Karimi will meet the high
expectations at his new club Bayern Munich for the coming Bundesliga season.
"I feel confident about Ali Karimi at Bayern Munich. I saw him at the
Germany-Iran match and he made the German players dizzy with his tricks in
the first half," Beckenbauer said Sunday during a roundtable discussion on
the private sports television network DSF.
"The only question remains whether he can be integrated in the Bayern
system," he added.
Bayern Munich coach Felix Magath had pushed for Karimi's transfer from the
United Arab Emirates club Al Ahli following his superb play in Iran's
friendly match against Germany last October.
