Since departing Tottenham Hotspur in August, the England captain has enjoyed a remarkable start in Germany. In a mere 19 appearances for Bayern Munich, Kane has shattered Bundesliga records, tallying an impressive 22 goals and delivering seven assists. Despite Bayern’s secure advancement post their Group A triumph, Tuchel won’t sideline his star striker, expressing admiration for the Englishman and his delight in acquiring him.
Speaking to reporters on Monday, Tuchel stated, “Every fan wants Harry [Kane] to play in their team. We are very proud that we were able to sign Harry. He’s a great personality and a great role model, a great player. He scores a lot of goals and will be very happy to play here tomorrow. It’s a big story that we brought the England captain, your [to the English media] striker, to Germany.”
Tuchel also addressed Tuesday’s opponents and empathized with the challenging circumstances faced by the opposing manager. “I feel for all colleagues. Sometimes it is difficult and challenging. I know what it’s like to manage big clubs. Sometimes you feel that a club is not developing as quickly as you would like. We have to bring a lot of energy tomorrow to survive here. I’m convinced that United want and will fight back.”
“I understand that some people [referring to the Galatasaray coach] thought that against Copenhagen it looked like we weren’t throwing everything into it [Bayern drew 1-1]. But when you sign for Bayern or United, you sign to give 100 per cent every day. When you wear the Bayern Munich jersey, you behave like champions, there’s no other way. We have high expectations, even if we are always under pressure. United will give everything tomorrow to get through. But we expect a top performance from us. I hope we can match United’s enthusiasm and energy, which I’m sure they’ll bring to the game.” added Tuchel.
United, previously strongly linked with Kane before his move to Germany, is grappling with a troublesome European campaign. With just one win in five group matches and conceding 14 goals, Erik ten Hag’s team’s fate now hinges on outcomes elsewhere to progress. Even a victory against Bayern on Tuesday won’t be enough unless Copenhagen and Galatasaray draw in the other group match.
Both the clash between Manchester United and Bayern Munich and the concurrent fixture between Galatasaray and Copenhagen are scheduled for kickoff on Tuesday, December 12th.
