Harry Kane thrilled the fans in the Munich Arena. He crowned his home debut in the Bundesliga with a brace. Coach Thomas Tuchel finds his team “not free enough”.
After the brace at his first home party for FC Bayern Harry Kane balances the motto for the next few weeks. Immediately after the 3-1 (2-0) win against FC Augsburg, the most expensive purchase in Bundesliga history, worth more than 100 million euros, was about “hard work” and “keep improving”. ).
“Every day, in every training session, in every game we learn more about ourselves,” said the 30-year-old striker about the interaction with his colleagues. “I’ve only been here a few weeks, I love the chemistry we’ve built, it’s only going to grow.” Kane would have nothing against a little normality in the near future. “It’s been a crazy couple of weeks, but all positive, all great things,” he said.
First his move from Tottenham Hotspur to the Bundesliga, then father joy for the fourth time. Kane is looking forward to his family moving from London to their home in Munich in the coming weeks. “It will be great to be here with them,” said the England captain.
Tuchel: “We still have potential for improvement”
After his first Bundesliga goal in a 4-0 win in Bremen a week ago, Kane scored a brace on his home debut in the German elite class (40th minute/penalty, 69th). Augsburg, who were very stable in the first half in particular, were unfortunate to fall behind after an own goal by Felix Uduokhai (32nd). Substitute Dion Beljo (86th) only managed the consolation goal.
“We still have room for improvement,” admitted Munich coach Thomas Tuchel. As “a bit tense again, hesitant, not free enough”, he felt his team, which could have won more in the end, especially at the beginning. “We seem inhibited at home.”
However, Uduokhai’s own goal broke the blockade. Then Kane struck twice. “He’s a world-class footballer, a great guy, he’s really good,” midfielder Leon Goretzka praised the star striker. “You immediately notice his aura in the dressing room.”
