Harry Kane has had an incredible start to his Bayern Munich career and has already set numerous records for goals, assists, and records. The influence the England captain has had on the defending German champions since joining them from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer is examined by bundesliga.com.
Did you really need to question Kane’s ability to fit in at Bayern? Bayern fans were overjoyed to see him arrive because they saw in him the long-needed equal successor for Robert Lewandowski. They weren’t mistaken.
The greeting Kane offered to people at the club, not the reception the supporters gave him, was what made sure he would fit in.
After spending a large portion of his first days at the club introducing himself to the 300 staff members based at the Säbener Strasse training site, Kane commented, “Of course I’d shake hands with people I meet here.” “That’s just the way I am. Because we are all on the same team, we are all deserving of respect. In my lifetime, that will never change.
The 30-year-old’s ‘Servus,’ or the customary Bavarian “Hi,” to the media at his unveiling also revealed his character; in light of that, together with the talent he has already demonstrated over the last ten years, the fact that he has gotten off to a fast start (and scored) will not raise any questions.
You do wonder what Kane must have been thinking as he sat on the sidelines for the majority of the 3-0 Supercup loss to RB Leipzig, just hours after signing his Bayern contract.
Harry is in my thoughts,” coach Thomas Tuchel stated. “He’s going to think we’ve not trained for a month.” The former coach of Mainz, Borussia Dortmund, PSG, and Chelsea continued, saying, “Against Werder Bremen [on Matchday 1], he’s going to start from the very first minute.”
Kane doesn’t appear to have held his disastrous start against his new colleagues, and Tuchel kept his word. He has only played without scoring after Matchday 5, for a total of 90 minutes in the loss to Borussia Mönchengladbach on Matchday 3 and 26 minutes against Leipzig.
Harry Kane, with his mentality and playing style, is exactly the player we need, according to Tuchel, who just made this statement. “We strive to involve him more in the game, and this will be a complete success. We are overjoyed with our striker because he is ideal for us. Kane’s hat-trick in the 7-0 victory over Bochum on Matchday 5 and his subsequent penalty kick in the 2-2 draw with Leipzig gave him eight goals in six Bundesliga games, which is hardly shocking.
Despite Kane’s club-record 280 goals in 435 games for Tottenham Hotspur, the magnitude of that rapid return on their investment may have even astonished the Bayern management. But there were some legitimate concerns about whether he would move to Germany right away.
After the birth of their fourth child in late August, Kane’s family has temporarily stayed in England. “I think the first few days were definitely a bit strange,” Kane remarked. “Going into a new training ground, going into a new stadium, meeting new teammates, wearing a different kit, all these things were a totally new experience for me so definitely a little bit of that pressure and that butterflies you feel.”
Since he joined the Spurs when he was 11, he has matured and received assistance. Jamal Musiala, who was born in Germany but spent his formative years in England, is one of the numerous English-speaking members of the Bayern team. Kane has even been able to maintain his passion of golf by walking the fairway with colleague Thomas Müller.
But Kane’s prowess on the football field is what has made sure everything has gone so well. “I believe playing with him will be beneficial for our other attacking players since he is not only a forward who makes risks. He can also set others up, according to midfielder Joshua Kimmich.
He really enhances our play overall since he is a guy who can link up and finish. Heung-min Son, Kane’s previous colleague at Spurs, is well aware of the selflessness demonstrated by his three assists, and Mathys Tel’s effect this season demonstrates that the Englishman’s aura is sufficient to motivate his teammates to take one or more additional steps.
“I was delighted when he showed up. He is an elite forward. I used him on FIFA when I was younger,” added Tel, 18, who has been involved in nine goals so far this season, including his outstanding effort in the victory over Bochum that was set up by Kane. “I’m impressed by his mentality. He maintains his composure and confidence. No doubt
If Kane’s approach and professionalism served as inspiration for Tel, he appears to have formed a strong alliance with Leroy Sané. The former Manchester City and Schalke player has now scored five goals, two of which were assisted by Kane. His first against Bremen came just four minutes into the season opening thanks to a feed from his new English teammate.
Leroy is a fluent English speaker and frequently speaks with Harry. Harry improves his teammates through his personality and sense of style, according to Tuchel. Leroy is in excellent physical and mental shape. He also exhibits excellent body language. Both are now working really well together.
