Harry Kane ‘unhappy at Bayern’, says coach Tuchel

Harry Kane’s recent dissatisfaction with his involvement in games is not going unnoticed, but Bayern Munich’s manager, Thomas Tuchel, emphasized the team’s reliance on Kane’s leadership to rejuvenate their season. As Bayern faced setbacks with a 3-0 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga and a 1-0 loss to Lazio in the Champions League last-16 first leg, Kane, who boasts 28 goals in 29 appearances this season, struggled to make an impact.

Tuchel acknowledged a disconnect between Kane and his teammates, stating, “Harry already knows what he’s doing. And of course, he’s unhappy with the way he’s involved at the moment. And we are dissatisfied with how we find and don’t find him (in games).” Despite this, Tuchel praised Kane’s exceptional qualities, noting a remarkable contrast between his performances in training and matches. The manager highlighted Kane’s world-class contributions in scoring, leadership, and team victories.

The discrepancy in finding Kane during games reflects Bayern’s current challenges, but Tuchel expressed confidence in Kane’s captain-like behavior, describing him as “low maintenance at the very highest level.” As Bayern aims to overcome their eight-point gap behind Bundesliga leaders Leverkusen, they turn to Kane’s leadership to guide them through a critical period. The team will face Lazio in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on March 5, seeking to turn the tide and revive their season under Kane’s influential captaincy.
