Harry Kane has opened up on what it is like to work under Vincent Kompany at Bayern Munich, revealing details about the new coach’s approach and why he believes it will make him “merciless” in front of goal.
Kane, who joined Bayern last summer, said Kompany’s message has been clear from the start: the team must play on the front foot, press aggressively and keep pushing for goals, regardless of the scoreline. The England captain explained that the Belgian demands constant intensity, with a strong focus on being ruthless in the key moments.
The striker also revealed that Kompany’s management style is direct and detailed. Kane said the coach is heavily involved on the training pitch, giving clear instructions and setting high standards, while also making sure players understand exactly what is expected of them in Bayern’s attacking system.
Kane added that the new boss encourages forwards to take responsibility in the box and to be decisive. He believes that, with Bayern creating a high volume of chances under Kompany’s ideas, the extra edge will come from finishing with “merciless” efficiency.
The Bayern forward’s comments shed light on how Kompany is trying to shape the squad as he begins his reign in Munich, with Kane convinced that the approach will benefit both him and the team as they look to compete for major honours this season.
