Harry Kane has spoken candidly about his transfer from Tottenham Hotspur to Bayern Munich, stating that he values team success more than individual success.
With 280 goals for Spurs and 58 goals in 84 appearances for England, Kane holds the record for both teams’ all-time scoring. When he left, he was also aiming for Alan Shearer’s 260-goal Premier League record.
Although he finished second in Europe with both England and Spurs in back-to-back seasons, there remained a gap in his playing resume that he believes he can fill by joining Bayern.
According to the striker, “the pressure here is definitely different from what I experienced at Spurs.” “Of course we wanted to win things at Spurs, but if you lost a few games, it wasn’t a disaster,” said the player.
“At Bayern, it seems like you have to win every game. Even though we won the first two games 4-0 and 3-1, there was still discussion about how we played. Being at one of the largest clubs in the world entails that in spades.
With victories over Werder Bremen, Augsburg, and Borussia Mönchengladbach, Kane has recorded three goals and an assist in his first three Bundesliga games. Bayern and Bayer Leverkusen are the only other clubs with a perfect nine out of nine points. The two get together on the first Friday following the international break.
Bayern has been placed in Group A of the UEFA Champions League alongside Manchester United, Galatasaray, and FC Copenhagen. Bayern, who are six-time European winners and most recently won an international sextuple under Hansi Flick, provide Kane a chance to succeed both domestically and internationally.
“We’ve had a good start, and I’m enjoying feeling those different emotions, and that’s part of the reason I wanted to go,” Kane concluded.
“And when we get back, we start the Champions League campaign, which they expect to win or have a good chance of winning,” he continued. You may thus be entering such games with a different attitude than I have in the past.
