Why are Kane and Bayern more compatible? Tottenham Hotspur have smashed 100 million euros in the summer window, can they keep the England captain?
With Kane just one year left on his contract with Tottenham, it will not be easy for the London side, which will miss out on European competition next season, to retain their ace.
When Bayern made two offers in a row, and when Tottenham had unknowingly spent more than 100 million euros in the summer window, it seemed that Levy was repeating the old path of "selling Elvis Presley and bringing in the Beatles".
01. Go 1 into 7! Are Tottenham going the old way?
a. Unknowingly, Tottenham spent more than 100 million euros on the summer window
Due to a serious decline in the sprint of the season, Tottenham ultimately missed out on next season's European competition. However, what is surprising is that they do not seem to have the idea of shrinking expenses, but are attacking in the summer window.
The €46.3 million (£40m) signing of Leicester City England international Madison is an exciting big deal for the team.
Coupled with the 30 million euro buyout of Kulusevski and the 20 million introduction of Italian goalkeeper Vicario, even if the right-back Polo bought for 45 million euros in the winter window, Tottenham's expenditure in the summer window has reached 100 million euros.
Is Levy, who has always been slamming the door, really willing to open the pocket for Tottenham, who have no European competition, and make every effort to strengthen it?
B. Bell's memories: Sell Elvis Presley and buy the Beatles
If you want to go back in time to the summer of 2013, when Bale was tempted by Real Madrid and determined to leave Tottenham.
Levy tried hard to keep people, but after Bale used methods such as strikes, he had to accept a transfer fee of 100 million from Real Madrid.
In order to stabilize the team's upward momentum in the top four of the Premier League, Levy brought in 7 players in the transfer market, including Eriksen, Paulinho, Lamela and other players who will become famous in the future.
Former Tottenham goalscorer Crooks famously commented: "Tottenham sold Elvis Presley and then bought the whole Beatles. ”
Thinking about it, Tottenham went out to buy people across the board in June, which is quite a bit of the smell before Bale left.
02. Where does Kane go after missing Real Madrid? Bayern has an advantage over Paris
a. Missing Real Madrid, Bayern and Paris are also available
Originally, after Benzema chose to go to Saudi Arabia, Real Madrid's bid for Kane became a hot topic. After all, with Kane's playing style and characteristics, it is still very much in line with the needs of the Brazilian Gemini.
But with Kylian Mbappe refusing to trigger a contract extension with Paris, he is likely to enter the transfer market in the summer window, leaving Real Madrid without a link with Kane.
The English media began to stir up the momentum, even ridiculing that if Kane had debuted at Leicester City, he would have scored at least three titles.
The senior team has won 0 titles so far, which is one of Kane's biggest pain points. He wants to leave Tottenham, obviously not for money, but to break the embarrassment of a career title.
So when Bayern were interested in Kane, the player had already negotiated with the German giants, which was not a surprise, Kane even had talks with Tuchel to express his willingness to join.
Although Paris are also interested in captaining England, this will obviously not be Kane's first choice, and it will depend on whether Mbappe and Neymar leave.
Bayern sent Kane a second offer of up to 93 million euros, although it was firmly rejected by Tottenham, but looking at Levy's signing, it seems that he really wants to "defend Kane".
b. Bayern's personnel are suitable for counter-attacking: lack of a playmaker
A big reason why Bayern's results have fallen since Thomas Tuchel took over is that the current staffing of the team is more suitable for counter-attacking than dominating the ball.
The main reason is that the ability to play the ball in the back court is average, and there is no control in the middle circle, and there are speed-type attackers in the air, but it is easy to disconnect back and forth.
In the match against Manchester City, Bayern's good opportunities mostly came in the chaos. Once the opponent made a mistake, Bayern suddenly accelerated the counterattack and could find an opportunity, but Sane still missed the single goal.
The problem is that once City take the lead, they won't be able to easily press the formation. At the same time, because Bayern's midfield ability is average, it is not so easy to really create counter-attack opportunities.
When the opponent is not prone to mistakes and Bayern are in a hurry to score, their choice is to go up the whole defensive line. It is dangerous for De Ligt to go to such a high position.
Although the risks and benefits coexist, it is not a smart way for Bayern to let himself be a low-level defensive centre-back combination and try his luck in midfield.
Opportunities were created before, albeit not many times, but Bayern were ultimately unable to seize them. This time the cooperation between Sane and Koeman was saved by Ederson in the last shot.
You must know that this time Manchester City's counterattack, fortunately Haaland is offside, otherwise Upamecano would have been sent off early with a red card. Although we will not witness his subsequent mistakes, Bayern, who are fighting with 10 men, may also play even more embarrassingly.
03. If Bayern want to fight back: Kane is far better than Osmeen
A. Bayern want to fight back: Kane is far better than Osmeen
Many fans will support Bayern buying Osmayne because he is younger than Kane. The problem is that if he comes to Bayern, then the team's tactics will still be to strengthen the attack and the front of the formation.
On the contrary, the arrival of Kane will allow Bayern to stand on the counter-attack and at the same time have an additional propulsion playmaker in the middle circle. Considering that Bayern's backfield is tall and has strong individual ability, but the technique at the foot is average, the high-post strategy is not suitable for them (even if they can break the ball one-on-one, they cannot play the role of organizing attacks on the spot).
In the Premier League, Kane has proven countless times that he plays a leading role in counter-attacking dialogue.
Although Bayern do not have Son Heung-min, the team also has a number of attackers of somewhat similar types, such as Mane, Sane and Gnabry. Supporting Kane's counterattack strategy, it is not difficult to implement.
After all, Kane himself has good ball control, which Bayern does not currently have.
At the same time, Kane's passing is very strong, which Bayern need very much as Mueller ages.
Kane, in particular, is also good at creating chances on the counter-attack after breaking the ball in front, whether he is in the middle or on the side. The dividends Son Heung-min has received in the past few years can also be enjoyed by Bayern wingers.
From this point of view, Osmayne, who is better at "eating bread", cannot be compared. If Bayern spend a lot of money on Osmayne, they still need to find another playmaker (even if it's just for the two wings and the acceleration of offensive and defensive transitions).
b. Kane's scoring ability: also no need to question
Not just organising the attack, Kane's goalscoring ability is beyond doubt. Although he is no longer young, he should still have 3 years or even longer in the future.
Bayern's requirement for the centre is to have a larger range of motion, not only to score on the counter-attack, but also to complete some rib tandem to drive the starting speed of the wing.
In any case, Kane will not be worse than Shubomotin, and the passing thing is definitely better than Lewandowski.
Shupomotin still has good value as a backup center. But it is unrealistic to expect Shupomotin to play a season, especially a tough battle in the knockout stages of the Champions League in a row.
After all, his speed and endurance are declining, and it will be a bit hard to outflank him at a high pace. Kane will be up to the job for at least the next 2-3 years.
Conclusion:
If they buy Osmeyne, Bayern's dominance of the Bundesliga is beyond doubt, but in the Champions League, it is really impossible to say that it can be improved.
Kane, by contrast, is also better at the league, but he can return Bayern to a counter-attacking strategy in the cup, bringing sharpness in attacking and defensive conversion. For this point, perhaps this money should be spent, not to mention that Kane himself has great commercial value.
