Harry Kane made some interesting comments about 'some' Premier League atmospheres after he scored for Bayern Munich on his much-anticipated Bundesliga debut.
The 30-year-old England international, who joined the Bavarians from Spurs this month in a reported £100 million deal, recorded a wonderful assist for Leroy Sane in the fourth minute of Friday's clash against Werder Bremen.
Former Liverpool and Bayern midfielder Didi Hamann praised Kane's link-up play from deep, saying: "This is what he gives, he's not just a goalscorer, he's got a very good eye for his teammates and he's technically very gifted."
After a solid all-round performance, Kane went on to bag a well-deserved goal on his Bundesliga debut, when he wrong-footed Bremen goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka with a trademark finish.Bayern secured all three points in their league opener thanks to goals from Sane [2], Kane and Mathys Tel.
And after the full-time whistle, the former Spurs man touched on a number of subjects in his post-match interview with Sky Sports, including his decision to drop deep for Sane's opener at the Weserstadion stadium.
But it was Kane's comments about his old stomping ground that got people talking.
After being asked how different the experience was compared to a typical Premier League game, he said: "It was great to be honest.
"The fans from both sides were incredible the whole game... really different to some of the Premier League atmospheres I've experienced. Our away fans were amazing but credit to their fans as well. They were great."Ahead of kick-off, Bayern manager Thomas Tuchel said Kane was already inspiring his new teammates.“The Harry Kane effect will not be gone (if we lose)," he said. "It is the way he works in training, in the locker room, his professionalism, the way he goes about things and how humble he is in training, how keen he is in training.
“The way he acts after such a game, after a loss, he is the first on the training pitch, he works with the reserve players, he is the one walking ahead who is inspiring others.
"That is what makes that transfer fee (worthwhile), not only his goal-scoring record but all the other things as well. That is what really makes him a big star and all the other personalities in sport as well, so that is the Harry Kane effect and why he raises our chances of winning tomorrow massively."Tuchel added: “Obviously we won’t win every game just because he is there and, even when the Harry Kane effect is there in full effect, it still doesn’t mean we’ll win every game, but that is why I was fighting for him to come here.
"As far as all the things I have seen, I really feel that it was worth it.”
