The Bundesliga record of 41 goals in a season set by Robert Lewandowski is seriously at risk, according to Thomas Tuchel. The Bayern Munich coach believes Harry Kane is capable of surpassing his Polish predecessor's record.
Harry Kane's remarkable progress at Bayern Munich has put him in a position to potentially surpass Robert Lewandowski's astounding Bundesliga record of 41 goals in a single season.
Three years after Lewandowski's historic achievement, Kane, at thirty years old, has shown exceptional form by scoring 22 goals in just sixteen matches. His performance so far suggests he might be on track to challenge Lewandowski's record, a feat that seemed almost unattainable.
Kane's approach to this potential record-breaking season is pragmatic and focused. In his interview with Kicker, he expressed a clear intent to strive for the best, yet he remains more focused on playing the game than chasing records. This attitude reflects Kane's dedication to his craft and his commitment to contributing to the team's success above personal accolades.
Thomas Tuchel, speaking with ESPN, recognized the threat Kane poses to Lewandowski's record. Tuchel highlighted the need for a bit of luck and for Kane to maintain his fitness throughout the season. He praised Kane's limitless potential and his high-level performance both as a player and as a person. Tuchel's admiration for Kane's humility and work ethic is evident, describing him as a "predator" on the field, constantly in pursuit of goals and victories.
Despite this, Kane remains modest about his achievements and future goals. He is not preoccupied with a return to England to chase Alan Shearer's Premier League record of 260 goals, despite having scored an impressive 213 goals in the Premier League. His focus is firmly set on his current commitment to Bayern Munich, where he has signed a four-year contract.
Kane's journey in the Bundesliga is not just a quest for personal records but also an embodiment of his growth as a footballer. His ability to adapt to a new league and continue to perform at an elite level is a testament to his skill and professionalism. As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Kane to see if he can maintain his exceptional form and perhaps write a new chapter in the Bundesliga's history.
