Karimi needs time to adjust to Bayern's game: Pirouzi's German coach

IRNA - Ali Karimi is a "great footballer", however he needs time to adapt himself to Bayern Munich's playing style, Pirouzi's German coach Rainer Zobel told the kicker sports magazine on Thursday.

"He is a great footballer, a dribbling wonder. Unfortunately he was in the Emirates for four years and he lacks fitness. One should have patience with him in Munich. He should be given two or three months time," Zobel said.

Karimi is expected to take part in the opening of Bayern's pre-season training camp on Saturday.
