Harry Kane believes his anticipated first major trophy is within reach soon, and he reflects on how his transfer to Bayern Munich almost two years ago has been beneficial in numerous aspects.
With Bayern Munich leading the Bundesliga by six points with only seven games remaining, they are strongly favored to secure the league title. This victory would potentially silence critics who feel his lack of trophies detracts from his status as a top goalscorer of his generation. However, at 31, Kane emphasizes that chasing trophies isn`t his primary motivation.
In a CBS Sports interview, Kane stated that his mindset remains consistent regardless of trophy count. He focuses on daily self-improvement as a person, teammate, and player. He feels he is currently at his peak and aims to compete at the highest level for as long as possible.
Kane`s consistent goalscoring ability, proven in the Premier League with Tottenham, has seamlessly transitioned to the Bundesliga. This season, he has scored 33 goals in 38 matches across all competitions for Bayern. While his scoring prowess is well-established, Kane highlights that his 2023 move has enhanced his overall game, particularly in the pursuit of major titles. Bayern is also contending in the UEFA Champions League, set to face Inter in the quarterfinals, with aspirations for the final held at their home stadium on May 31.
Kane emphasized that consistently competing at the highest level in significant matches is what distinguishes top players. While he experienced periods of high-level competition at Tottenham, he notes the year-after-year challenge at Bayern against top teams and defenders has been particularly rewarding for his consistent performance.
Kane also acknowledged Vincent Kompany`s positive influence on his development during Kompany`s first season as Bayern`s manager.
Kane praised Kompany as a tactically astute coach, highlighting Bayern`s attacking style characterized by a high press, man-to-man pressure, ball possession, intensity, and counter-pressing. He values Kompany`s leadership style, where all players are treated equally and receive direct feedback, fostering mutual respect. Kane feels he has already improved under Kompany`s guidance, who has refined aspects of his game, making their collaboration enjoyable and beneficial for his ongoing development.
