Junior Team boss Werner Kern describes Michael Rensing as "the goalkeeping talent of the decade," while Uli Hoeneß is expecting great things from the high school graduate, who joined Bayern from TuS Lingen in 2000: "He's the best reserve keeper we've had for years." Oliver Kahn's understudy enters his second season as a pro after keeping clean sheets in both his 2003-4 Bundesliga appearances against Hamburg and Schalke, and his personal goal of taking over from Kahn at Bayern after 2006 looks well within the bounds of possibility. "I work with Sepp Maier and Oliver Kahn, and that's the best coaching team in the world," the player enthuses. |
