BAYERN MUNICH
Harry Kane “is not happy” with recent form at Bayern Munich
Kane has not been going through a positive spell of form and his manager has admitted that the forward is frustrated with the situation.
Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel confessed that Harry Kane is unhappy with the team’s and his own current form, just as the Bavarian side need to chase down league leaders Bayer Leverkusen: “He’s not happy with the connection in games. Neither are we. I’ve rarely seen such a discrepancy between training and matches.”
“The way he scores in training, the way he puts his chances away - it’s incredible. It’s world-class. But then we rarely find him in matches. He acts like a captain. Everything’s okay with him.”
Tuchel opens up on ‘strange situation’
Tuchel spoke ahead of Bayern’s visit to Bochum on Sunday: “It’s a strange situation. The atmosphere is obviously a little gloomy, because we expected a reaction from ourselves. That being said, we’ve only lost the first leg and aren’t out of the Champions League just yet. We’re all committed to turning things around.”
The coach is confident of regaining the positivity within the camp. “In my experience, it’s only possible to do so on the training pitch, which is what we did yesterday. We’ll give it our all in order to muster up the energy we need to reverse our fortunes” he concluded.
“We want to prove ourselves”, he added. “The situation we find ourselves in at the moment might give us the push we need to kick on again. We’ll keep pushing the players. We treat them all the same individually and within the group. We need every single player.”
Kane has not scored for two games, which may not seem like a lot, but Bayern have lost both of them. The first loss in the run came against Bayer Leverkusen, who thrashed them 3-0, leaving them 5 points off the top. This came ahead of a disappointing defeat away to Lazio in the UEFA Champions League.
