2 Reasons Why Thomas Tuchel ‘Won the Lottery’ With Harry Kane After Robert Lewandowski’s Bayern Munich Exit

Robert Lewandowski was one of the most important pieces of the puzzle at Bayern Munich. When the Polish veteran left the Bavarians, he left a void that seemed impossible to fill. But the German side was quick enough to fill it by signing Tottenham striker Harry Kane, who seamlessly integrated himself into the Allianz Arena setup. As soccer fans debate this tactical move, a seasoned expert presents two compelling arguments as to why Thomas Tuchel may have struck gold with Kane, citing the ability to score an ‘out of jail’ goal.

The statement was made in the latest episode of the talkSPORT podcast, where soccer expert Kevin Hatchard joined Andy Goldstein and Darren Bent to discuss the Englishman’s impact at Bayern Munich so far. 

Thomas Tuchel has signed Harry Kane, who is believed to be a ‘standard setter’ 

Former top-flight striker Darren Bent claimed that Thomas Tuchel has ‘won the lottery’ after signing Harry Kane. “Like you lose Lewandowski and you bring in that animal Kane. When you look at him and the way he looks at Kane, I think you can quite clearly see that Thomas Tuchel is like, ‘wow, look what I’ve got here,'” said the pundit. Hatchard then presented his thoughts. “I think it’s two things. The first thing is it’s a goal guarantee in the way that Lewandowski used to be, and even if you’re struggling, you’ve got a guy who can get you out of jail with a goal. The other thing is, he’s a standard setter.” Hatchard believes that Tuchel sees Harry Kane as a person in a locker room whom the youngsters can look up to.

Be that as it may, it is quite a huge praise for the former Spurs star. Notably, things have started on a high note for Harry Kane in Germany. The 30-year-old is leading the Bundesliga scorer chart with 20 goals and also has five assists. He has also scored four goals and three assists in the UEFA Champions League so far. Certainly, he’ll be looking to keep up with his emphatic goal-scoring form. While he is enjoying his glorious spell, the same cannot be said for Lewandowski. 

Robert Lewandowski is unexpectedly on a cold streak

Things have gone off track for Robert Lewandowski this season, with his stellar debut form seeming to diminish. The 35-year-old striker has only scored nine goals in 20 appearances across various competitions. In fact, in his last nine league games, the Polish international has failed to find the net in seven instances.

This dip in form has sparked speculation about Robert Lewandowski’s potential departure from Barcelona. Additionally, the impending arrival of Brazilian talent Vitor Roque in January 2024 has intensified these rumors. Regardless of the outcome, one can only wish for a positive turnaround for the lethal goal scorer from Poland.
