By just being patient and waiting for the right time, Harry Kane can not only quench his thirst for titles, but can also win all the glory in football with Bayern Munich. He should look at the example of his predecessor Teddy Sheringham and confidently move forward.
Harry Kane has been the country’s number 1 striker for nearly a decade. That goes without saying. The proof is that he is leading the list of England’s greatest strikers ever with 62 goals and scored 280 goals on all fronts for Tottenham Club before moving to Bayern Munich during the transfer period. Summer 2023 transfer.
Sadly, Kane has never won any titles in his career. His best achievement to date is reaching the 2018/19 Champions League final with Tottenham (lost 0-2 to Liverpool). That is the reason why Kane was determined to leave Tottenham to join Bayern Munich. At the age of thirty, he no longer had the patience to stay in England to continue “opening his mouth and waiting for the opportunity”.
But it seems that bad luck has not stopped following Kane. As soon as he first joined Allianz, this 30-year-old striker missed out on his first title. Specifically, in the 2023 German Super Cup match, Bayern Munich was suddenly beaten by opponent Leipzig with 3 unanswered goals. Even in the Bundesliga, Kane and his teammates are currently being “cut off” by the top team Leverkusen with a gap of 4 points and Bayern Munich’s hope of winning the silver plate is quite slim.
It would be a lie to say that Kane is not disappointed with what is happening at Bayern Munich. Because he left his country to play football in Germany with the sole goal of ending his thirst for titles. However, the England captain should not be too hasty. In fact, although they are losing to Leverkusen in the race for the Bundesliga championship, Bayern Munich is not without a chance. Not to mention, Bayern Munich is still participating in the Champions League arena.
If you feel impatient, Kane should look back at what senior Teddy Sheringham has experienced to confidently move forward. Sherringham left Tottenham in 1997 to seek a better future with MU. But the 1997/98 season for him was nothing short of a disaster. The English star only scored 14 goals in 42 appearances. Even entering the 1998/99 season, Sheringham was in danger of being pushed out of Old Trafford by the appearance of striker Dwight Yorke.
Rookie Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole quickly formed a notorious pair with great chemistry in MU’s attack. Therefore, Sheringham’s familiar position is the bench. However, the English striker never intended to give up. He still practices hard and is still excited to play hard when he goes on the field. At the end of that season, Sheringham was rewarded with a historic “treble” with MU including winning the Premier League, FA Cup and especially the Champions League championship.
Notably, the former Tottenham player was the one who scored in stoppage time in the final against Bayern Munich, after coach Alex Ferguson brought him to the bench in the second half to replace Jesper Blomqvist. Thanks to the turning point created by Sheringham, MU had another goal scored by striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer a few dozen seconds later to create one of the most spectacular comebacks in history. After 4 years with MU, the English player has a remarkable collection of titles including: 3 Premier League championships, 1 FA Cup, 1 UEFA Champions League and 1 Intercontinental Cup.
Compared to Sheringham’s starting point at MU, Kane is now much better. Bayern Munich is the most traditional football team in Germany and is always considered one of the brightest candidates for the Champions League championship. Therefore, the thing to do with England’s greatest striker is to patiently wait for the right time. There is a saying “the time has come, we cannot stop it”. Once he is in luck, not only will he be able to quench his thirst for titles, but Kane may also reap greater success than what Sheringham, his senior, has achieved in MU’s shirt.
