‘Not winning at Tottenham was not a catastrophe’

Harry Kane has risked upsetting his former followers by admitting not winning video games at Tottenham Hotspur by no means felt like a “disaster”.

Kane’s well-known battle to win the primary main trophy of his profession took a big twist this summer season when he swapped Spurs for German heavyweights Bayern Munich in a deal which nearly ensures trophies for the England striker.

There’s an apparent stage of stress that comes with enjoying for Germany’s most dominant crew, and Kane admitted it is the kind of feeling he by no means had throughout his time in England.

“It’s definitely a different pressure compared to what I felt at Spurs,” he defined. “Of course we wanted to win things at Spurs but if you went a couple of games without winning then it wasn’t a disaster.

“The feeling at Bayern is that it’s important to win each sport. We gained the primary two video games 4-0 and 3-1 and there was nonetheless speak about not being too completely satisfied about the best way we performed. That’s half and parcel of being at one of many greatest golf equipment on the planet.

“But we’ve had a good start and I’m enjoying feeling those different emotions and that’s part of the reason that I wanted to go. And we start the Champions League campaign when we get back, which they expect to win – or have a good chance of winning. So you’re going into those games with maybe a different feeling to what I’ve had in the past.”

Kane’s willpower to win trophies in the end noticed him abandon, maybe completely, his push to turn into the highest goalscorer in Premier League historical past.

The 30-year-old left England with 213 targets to his identify, simply 47 behind all-time chief Alan Shearer, whose file was more likely to tumble if Kane had spent one other two seasons within the Premier League.

“I think there was a lot of talk about it and the fact I was getting closer to it but I have never been anybody who has chased individual honours ahead of team awards,” Kane stated of his choice to go away the Premier League scoring race.

“I have said before in interviews, ultimately it comes down to me to see how good I can be and I felt like I had to be playing Champions League football and competing for titles each year. Bayern Munich definitely gives me that.

“The file in fact could be wonderful and it may be wonderful if sooner or later I do find yourself breaking it. But it’s not why I play soccer and my transfer exhibits that.”
