“The Kane Disaster” – AS.com
Harry Kane is great following the demolition of Bayern Munich this Saturday in a vital Bundesliga clash against Bayer Leverkusen. Xabi Alonso’s team was the only one on the Bay Arena grass.
The German press did not hesitate to point out a player from the German giants’ squad: Harry Kane. The former Tottenham striker proved to be an excellent example in attack, and Müller was sent to the bench. Kane spent the entire 90 minutes on the Leverkusen pitch, but had no clear scoring opportunities. Something that brought it right into the spotlight.
Bild was one of the media outlets that focused on analyzing the Englishman’s performance. The England captain had just 18 touches in 90 minutes and struck once. “Catastrophe Kane” was the headline of the prestigious German media.
“The Kane disaster. He wasn’t in the game at all. No goal, no assist. Only his efforts were correct: he ran 10.8 km, only Mazraoui ran more for Bayern. IN“I’m going to Bayern to win championships…” said his analysis.
Kane’s signing for Bayern is constantly being questioned. The German club paid 100 million euros for the transfer to Tottenham, but their performance still does not seem sufficient. Despite the fact that under Tuchel he has already scored 28 goals and made 8 assists. They still demand more.
He is being watched in England and there is a lot of criticism against this player. They say the only thing he cares about is winning the title and breaking Lewandowski’s goalscoring record.
“There are symptoms that we see on the field… I think Bayer deserved to win. What irritates me is that the team shows the best concentration in training when we are brave and we have no conditions. I remember Kahn’s phrase “we don’t have enough tomatoes”, and he’s right. Of course, we may feel pressure, but it should give us energy. There are enough international level players, so there is no need to talk about a coach.“Müller admitted, ruling out that Thomas Tuchel was to blame.
Kane, it hurts
“We didn’t play very well. Especially in the first half and even in the second half we pressed them well, but every time we got the ball we gave it straight to them. This allowed them to gain momentum. In the final third we weren’t good one-on-one, we weren’t good in duels, there wasn’t a final shot today, so it was a really disappointing day.” Kane didn’t hesitate to take the microphones and analyze the defeat to his arch-rivals in the Bundesliga.
“We are five points behind, but there are still many games ahead. It hurts, we wanted a different result. We still have a lot of games to play and we have to try to get as many points as possible as quickly as possible,” he said after the match. It wasn’t his day, that’s for sure.
