Harry Kane’s transfer to Bayern Munich dragged on for weeks. Now the striker is there – and something like the new savior. The English national striker has now revealed what role Thomas Tuchel played in the alternating theater.
Harry Kane is the new hope at FC Bayern. FCB probably also have Thomas Tuchel to thank for the fact that the unerring attacker landed with the German record champions, at least the coach did a convincing job.
Tuchel played a “big role” in the move to the Bundesliga, Kane said in an interview with “Sky”. “We spoke. He explained to me what he had in mind for me, how we wanted to play. How he saw me in the team. How I and we could dominate in terms of play.” The two had “a good relationship,” Kane said. “We talk a lot and he tries to help me and show exactly how we want to play.”
There was also massive criticism of Kane’s move to Bayern from the island, for example from ex-star striker Michael Owen, who simply didn’t want to understand the transfer.
Kane counters: “Everyone has their own opinion. Above all, my decision to take on a new challenge.” The step feels “right” for him, “to develop me and take me to a higher level”. Because for him it is clear: “Bayern Munich is a big club.”
FC Bayern: Harry Kane can handle hype
Kane doesn’t want to let the hype surrounding him at FC Bayern get too close to him. “As soon as I’m on the pitch I do what I did as a little boy: work hard, improve the players around me and score goals.
He was “experienced enough to stay calm, said Kane. My focus is on my performance and the success of the team.” In Munich he already feels right at home. “I was able to settle in well. It was crazy days.”
Kane is also ready for FC Bayern’s Bundesliga opener on Friday (8:30 p.m.) against Werder Bremen. After the 0: 3 in the Supercup against RB Leipzig, the record champions also have something to make up for.
“I’m ready to play. I’m feeling good and I want to score in the first game,” Kane said. The boys are all “hot” to finally start the season. “We’re ready to fight back. As a professional, you want to make up for a defeat like that in your own stadium in the next game. I’m looking forward to the Bundesliga opener.”
