The expectations of Harry Kane at Bayern could not be greater. Andreas Möller, former BVB professional and world champion from 1990, warns against too much hype about the attacker.
“Harry Kane has already written a good piece of history in his career, is an idol in England and is known far beyond the borders,” praised Möller in his “kicker” column.
The hype about the Kane transfer has not only increased the anticipation of the Bundesliga among Bayern fans. However, Möller warned: “To see Bayern Munich’s miracle healer in him would be a huge burden for the goalscorer.”
FC Bayern transferred the record sum of 100 million euros to Tottenham Hotspur to free Kane from his contract, which ran until 2024.
However, Kane copes well with the high expectations, as he emphasized in an interview with “Football Daily”. “I came to develop myself. To feel the pressure of winning titles every year and going far in the Champions League,” revealed the 30-year-old.
Dietmar Hamann recently struck a similar tone as Möller. “I don’t know if he’s the savior. He doesn’t know the environment, the league and the country. Harry Kane has actually spent his entire career at Tottenham so far. 25 goals in England doesn’t automatically mean 35 or 40 in the Bundesliga.” , the TV expert warned in “Sport Bild”.
Pressure at Bayern also great for Thomas Tuchel
According to Möller, coach Thomas Tuchel is also under immense pressure. “Thomas Tuchel is now under real pressure at Bayern, after the 2022/23 season that just ended with a win with the last-minute title and currently after the defeat in the Supercup against Leipzig,” said the ex-BVB professional , who asked himself: “Does the team accept the coach as much as, for example, in the days of Ottmar Hitzfeld?”
Nevertheless, Möller counts FC Bayern among the favorites for the title. In the same breath, the 1997 Champions League winner also named Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig.
