Harry Kane, the England captain, made his 30th goal contribution in all competitions since joining Bayern Munich in the summer. This impressive feat came as Manchester United faced elimination from Europe.
Kane’s skillful flick with the outside of his right boot set up Kingsley Coman for his 22nd goal and eighth assist. All of this was achieved in just 19 games for the England captain.
Despite his success on the field, Kane admitted that he has not yet mastered the German language. This led to an amusing exchange with Laura Woods during an interview on TNT Sports.
Learning German and Settling In
Laura Woods: “How’s your German coming on?”
Harry Kane: “Err…”
Rio Ferdinand: “Give me something. Just a little something.”
Harry Kane: “Nah, I can’t. I’m saving that for the summer when we’re there for the Euros.”
“But I’m doing a couple of lessons a week, so…”
Laura Woods: “Not well, then.”
Harry Kane: “Basically, yeah. I don’t want to embarrass myself!”
In addition to discussing his language learning journey, Kane also shared his experience of settling into a new country with his family. Initially, he had difficulty finding a permanent residence and had been living in a hotel. However, he recently found a house and plans to move in after the winter break.
Kane reflected on the challenges of his first career move and the personal adjustments required for his family, especially with four children. He humorously added that if he stops scoring when his family arrives, he might have to send them back!
Conclusion
Harry Kane’s performance in Bayern Munich’s victory over Manchester United was remarkable. While he continues to excel on the field, he is still working on learning German. His journey of settling into a new country with his family has had its challenges, but he is now looking forward to moving into a permanent residence. Kane’s humor and dedication to both his career and personal life make him a fascinating figure to watch.
