Harry Kane not ‘particularly happy’ under Thomas Tuchel – Bayern legend makes bold claim

Bayern Munich legend Lothar Mathaus says Harry Kane doesn’t seem “particularly happy” under Thomas Tuchel after seeing the striker return from England duty.

Kane joined the rest of his Bayern Munich teammates in the United States for the ongoing FIFA Club World Cup tournament and after scoring for England in games against Andorra and Senegal.

Despite his impressive form during the international break, Kane was not on the score sheet as Bayern Munich thrashed Auckland City 10-0 in their opening game of the tournament.

With football fans surprised Kane failed to score, the striker’s inability to find the back of the net did not seem to come as too much of a shock to Bayern Munich legend Lothar Mathaus. According to him, Kane often needs cheering up after being away with the national team and he is not enjoying life under new Three Lions boss Tuchel.

He told Sky Sport Germany: “Harry Kane came away empty-handed in the 10-0 win. He may have recently scored England’s 1-0 goal against Andorra, but when he’s been with the national team, he always needs to be encouraged. At Bayern, fun, enjoyment, and attacking are the top priorities; at England, football isn’t even being worked on at the moment. It is sad to see how professional Kane is at his job. He doesn’t seem particularly happy under current coach Tuchel—just as he was under his predecessor Southgate. His body language at Bayern is different than it is with the national team.”

While Thomas Tuchel might be questioned about this during the next international break, Kane will get the chance to open his Club World Cup account on Friday when Bayern return to action against Boca Juniors.
