Bayern Munich has never been a bling club. Built with the accuracy of work and seriousness, the Bavarian club has nevertheless been a respected and respectable ogre in Europe for several decades. In this rigor which suits them wonderfully, the residents of the Allianz Arena terrorize the Bundesliga and their long hegemony has allowed them to glean eleven consecutive titles despite pressure from Borussia Dortmund last year. In order to regain their perfect control over the overseas championship, the Munich leaders have decided to get their hands on Harry Kane this summer. Like his new squad, Kane is a workaholic who, without necessarily being highly rated, is, undoubtedly, one of the best scorers of the last decade.
And with his trophy cabinet empty after his personal sensational spell at Tottenham, the England striker was hungry for success. Still not satisfied, the second top scorer in the history of the Premier League is having a fantastic start to the season in his new colors. This Sunday against Darmstadt, he made his start to the season historic. Author of a hat-trick, Kane became the first player in the history of the German championship to have scored 11 goals in his first 9 Bundesliga matches. In his three goals, he also offered himself a gem by scoring a goal from his own part of the field.
A totally crazy Bayern Munich – Darmstadt!
A definitely atypical meeting which took place this Saturday at 3:30 p.m. While the first period was marked by three exclusions, including that of Joshua Kimmich on the Bayern side and who will miss the Klassiker against Dortmund next week, it is the first time in the history of the Bundesliga that three players have been excluded during of the first act. Finally, ten against nine, it was Thomas Tuchel’s men who made the difference after returning from the locker room. And when you score 8 goals in 36 minutes, it’s no longer a difference but a total dissimilarity. Scorer three times, Kane also saw Jamal Musiala and Leroy Sané score a double while Thomas Müller scored his goal. With this brilliant victory, Bayern made history because no team in the history of the Bundesliga had scored so many goals in such a short time.
A success which allows them to regain first place and which sends a clear message to the competition: we will still have to count on Bayern Munich this season, as always. While he was able to count on the return of Manuel Neuer almost a year after his skiing injury, Thomas Tuchel nevertheless showed a certain frustration at the end of the meeting: “a crazy first half against a very good opponent. We were reduced to 10 very early on. We had some transition issues, then all of a sudden we were 10-on-10, then no more players on the pitch, we had difficulty adjusting to that. Halftime allowed us to regroup and find answers. We had a lot of chances and we scored a lot of goals in the second half. Overall, we deserved the victory and we will continue to improve.» If this Bayern has room for improvement in the Bundesliga, their twelfth German championship title then reaches out to them despite fierce competition from Bayer Leverkusen, Stuttgart and Borussia Dortmund.
