"Sure, Harry Kane can play ridiculous 40, 50 yard passes. Sure, he has an exceptional goal scoring record that reads at nearly a goal per game for Bayern Munich. But perhaps the most abnormal aspect of Kane's work at Bayern is his indefatigable work off the ball. Despite not being a fast player, he racks up miles on the pitch through pressing, moving all over the pitch and veen showing up near his own penalty box to do defensive work."
"In addtion, Kane has already produced several highlight reel-worthy defensive interventions this season. This kind of attitude is far from the norm for forwards, which is perhaps why Vincent Kompany appreciates him so much. According to Bild, as captured by @iMiaSanMia, Bayern's head coach singled the former the former Tottenham Hotspur player out for his extraordinary effort: Vincent Kompany cited Harry Kane's commitment and defensive work as an example of what he wants to see on the pitch."
"He told his players: 'I expect that from every single one of you. Now and also in five years!' Kane has been a success in many, many ways at Bayern to the extent that being a role model for the team may not be the most impressive looking of achievements, but to become so influential at the club after just two years at the club is a genuinely big deal."
Harry Kane plays long 40-50 yard passes and maintains an exceptional scoring rate near a goal per game for Bayern Munich. He contributes unusual off-the-ball work for a forward, covering heavy distances through pressing, roaming the pitch and even defending near his own penalty box. Kane has produced several highlight-reel defensive interventions this season. Vincent Kompany singled out Kane's commitment and defensive work as the standard he expects from every player now and in five years. Kane's influence and role-model status at Bayern has grown rapidly, becoming especially notable after just two years at the club.
