The captain has a newfound confidence as a result of his move to Bayern Munich and his stunning goalscoring form
s Harry Kane acknowledged last September, as he settled into his new life at Bayern Munich, there was certainly a script to be written. The Champions League final was in his home city of London. The“If there’s someone out there writing a movie … I will try and do my best to make it happen,” Kane said on the eve of England’s qualifying tie against Ukraine in Poland.
Kane does not need any extra motivation for the Euros, especially after what happened the last time, but maybe he has got it all the same. There was bullish talk from him as he looked ahead to England’s opening tie against Serbia on Sunday night. He agreed that after the near misses under Gareth Southgate, another at this tournament would not be good enough. “For sure, we are at that stage now where anything other than winning, we’re going to be disappointed,” he said.
It is one thing to score 30 goals in a league season for Spurs, as Kane did twice; another to get 36 for Bayern and win the European Golden Shoe. Only two players have scored more in a single Bundesliga campaign – Gerd Müller and Robert Lewandowski. Kane added eight more in the Champions League for an overall Bayern return of 44 goals from 45 appearances.
