Harry Kane has revealed what Bayern team-mate Thomas Muller told him in a note left at England’s Euro 2024 training base.
- Kane and Muller are team-mates at Bayern Munich
- Now on international duty with respective nations at Euro 2024
- Muller left letter for England star at team hotel
WHAT HAPPENED?
The 30-year-old forward now plays alongside Muller at club level after moving for a staggering €120 million ($129.4 million/£102m) last summer, marking a significant shift in his career. Although Bayern Munich fell short in the Bundesliga title race, with Bayer Leverkusen clinching their first championship, Kane’s individual performance was nothing short of spectacular. He scored 44 goals in 45 games across all competitions, which has endeared him to many in Germany.
WHAT KANE SAID
Kane is now back in Germany with England preparing for Euro 2024 and has received a letter from Muller at the Three Lions’ training base, the Weirmarer Land Golf and Spa Resort in Blankenhain. Germany utilized the facility for their warm-up games before moving to Herzogenaurach for the main tournament.
“Tommy left me a little note because they were here just a couple of weeks ago,” Kane revealed. “He said the golf course is great, but the weather has not been so good! It looks fantastic, the hotel is incredible, and to be in Germany is a bit of a home from home.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Kane also spoke about being back in Germany and how he feels there is plenty of support for his team despite the longstanding rivalry between the two nations.
“The reception I’ve had since I’ve been at Bayern has been incredible,” Kane told reporters. “Ever since I’ve been in the [England team] hotel, I’ve had some of the staff come up and say hello. I’m not saying they want England to win, but I think they have a little soft spot for us — now I’m here — and that’s fantastic.”
WHAT NEXT FOR KANE?
Kane’s adjustment to life in Germany appears seamless, and his influence extends beyond the pitch. His ability to bridge cultural gaps and foster goodwill among fans speaks volumes about his character and leadership. As he prepares to lead England in their opening Group C match against Serbia in Gelsenkirchen on Sunday, his experience in Germany could prove invaluable.
