What world star Harry Kane is particularly looking forward to now
Bayern Munich are only second in the Bundesliga. But optimism prevails at Säbener Straße. Partly because they have top scorer Harry Kane. The captain of the England national team is on course for a record, but is now looking forward to what he has never had before.
"Beach Boy" Harry Kane of Bayern Munich has declared war on Bayer Leverkusen before the start of the Christmas break. "We want to push our limits. We just have to keep trying to get better," said the star striker after the must-win last game of the year at VfL Wolfsburg: "As I keep saying, I have the feeling that we still have more in the tank."
After the 2:1 (2:1) win at the Wolves, Bayern go into next year four points behind Leverkusen, but the record champions still have a catch-up game against Union Berlin to play. "I still have the feeling that we can get to another level," said Kane, who scored his 21st goal of the season against Wolfsburg, as a warning to Leverkusen: "We can't control what they can do. All we can do is keep putting them under pressure. There's still a long way to go. We're not even halfway there yet."
Kane "couldn't be happier" with his start in Germany, said the Englishman. Bayern have only played 15 games this season due to the weather-induced absence against Union Berlin. Which makes Kane's 21 goals even more impressive. He is now just 20 goals short of Robert Lewandowski's record, who broke Gerd Müller's record of the century in 2020/2021 with 41 goals. Lewandowski scored every 60 minutes back then, while Kane currently needs 63 minutes per goal.
Does the Harry Kane curse really exist?
The former Tottenham Hotspur star has yet to win a title with a club in his career. The striker's misfortune goes so far that some people have even coined the term "Harry Kane curse". On his first appearance for FC Bayern in August, the record champions gave away the Super Cup title to RB Leipzig, and they were later knocked out of the cup against Saarbrücken. That leaves the Bundesliga and Champions League. They are still on course in both competitions. It doesn't necessarily have to be a curse yet. The year 2024 will show all that.
But that is still a long way off at the moment. After all these years in the Premier League, Kane is now looking forward to his very first winter break. "I can hardly wait, to be honest. I'm really looking forward to it," said Kane, who has been living in Munich without his wife Katie and their four children: "Now it's about spending some time with them, going somewhere warm for a few nice days."
Kane will make a joke of the vacation. "I'm going to send all my friends in England a picture of me on the beach when they're playing," he said, alluding to the traditional Boxing Day on the island: "It should be fun."
