Thierry Henry believes it appears ‘strange’ that Harry Kane is no longer wearing a Tottenham Hotspur shirt and is instead wearing a Bayern Munich jersey.
On Wednesday night, Harry Kane made his Champions League debut for Bayern Munich, scoring from the penalty spot as the German champions defeated Manchester United 4-3.
Arsenal veteran Thierry Henry remarked on CBS Sports on Paramount (20/09/23 at 7:50 pm) that Harry Kane is now playing a ‘different’ role under Thomas Tuchel, as opposed to being able to drop deep in Tottenham colours and feed the on-rushing Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski.
One constant has been the 30-year-old’s ability to reach the back of the net, as he has five goals in six outings for Bayern in all competitions.
It’s now just a matter of adding some trophies to those aspirations, as many people expect Bayern to win the Champions League this season now that Harry Kane is on board.
It’s still strange to watch the England captain no longer strutting his stuff in the Premier League, but it’s a step he needed to make to advance his career.
Thierry Henry on Harry Kane
“It does look strange, to be honest,” Henry observed of Kane wearing a Bayern shirt. “However, you have a different type of Harry Kane playing for Bayern Munich, and as Tuchel stated, he is asking him to play very high.”
“At Tottenham, we all knew he could do that (drop into midfield to collect the ball).” Kulusevski and Son were going to sprint for him and score, but Bayern has urged him to play a different approach. Climb higher. Make runs while remaining in the box. In any case, he is a complete (player).
“Look, I have said it so many times, and everyone knows what I think about Tottenham,” he says of Kane playing for Bayern.
“I just like to watch him play.” Completely finished. At some point, you must be truthful. You must set aside the rivalry and everything else. I enjoy seeing him since he can do it all. He can play in midfield. Please pass the ball. He wants De Bruyne to pass between the lines. He’s got it in the air. He’s got a good head on his shoulders. Accept the consequences. He still has to work on his free kicks.
“If you don’t like watching Harry Kane, how he uses his body and how he can sometimes play alone up front, you should.” And how he can make you breathe a little easier while you’re playing away from home.”
Kane piles more misery on Manchester United
Only a few weeks ago, Spurs defeated Manchester United at home, turning up the heat on Erik ten Hag.More defeats have followed since then, notably a thrashing at Old Trafford by Brighton last weekend in the Premier League.
Kane has now done what he does best, which is score against Manchester United. This was his seventh goal against the Old Trafford club.
