Harry Kane is the big name after Bayern Munich’s debacle this Saturday in the vital Bundesliga matchup against Bayer Leverkusen. Xabi Alonso’s team was the only one on the Bay Arena grass.
The German press has not hesitated to point out a player from the German giant’s squad: Harry Kane. The former Tottenham striker came out as the great reference in attack, Müller was relegated to the bench. Kane spent the entire 90 minutes on the Leverkusen pitch, but did not have any clear scoring opportunities. Something that has put it directly into focus.
“He wasn’t in the game… and he came here to win championships”

Bild was one of the media that focused on analyzing the Englishman’s performance. The England captain took just 18 touches in the 90 minutes and had one shot. “Catastrophe Kane”, headlined the prestigious German media.
“The Kane disaster. He wasn’t in the game at all. No goal, no assists. Only his effort was correct: he ran 10.8 km, only Mazraoui ran more for Bayern. “He came to Bayern to win championships…” said the analysis of him.
Kane’s signing for Bayern is constantly questioned. The German club paid 100 million euros for the transfer to Tottenham and his performance still does not seem to be sufficient, despite the fact that he has already accumulated 28 goals and 8 assists under Tuchel. They still demand more.
In England they keep an eye on him, and there is a lot of criticism of this player. It has been said that the only thing he cares about is winning a title and breaking Lewandowski’s goal record.
“There are symptoms that we see on the field… I think Bayer deserved to win. What irritates me is that the team shows a better focus in training, when we are brave and have no conditions. I remember Kahn’s phrase “we lack tomatoes”, and he is right. We can feel the pressure, of course, but it has to give us energy. There are enough international players of caliber, so there is no need to talk about the coach,” admitted Müller, ruling out that Thomas Tüchel is to blame.
Kane, dolido
“We didn’t play well. Especially in the first half and even in the second, we pressed them well, but every time we got the ball back we gave it back directly to them. That allowed them to gain momentum. In the last third we were not good one-on-one, we were not good in duels, the final delivery was not there today, so it was a really disappointing day.” Kane did not hesitate to take the microphones and analyze the defeat against his biggest rivals in the Bundesliga.
“We are five points behind but there are still many games ahead. This hurts, we wanted a different result. There are many games left to play and we have to try to score as many points as we can, as quickly as we can,” he said after the clash. It wasn’t his day, that’s for sure.
