Postecoglou finally speaks out on Kane transfer
Postecoglou finally speaks out on Kane's transfer.
“Enzi Postecoglou has admitted the ‘panic’ behind Harry Kane's move to Bayern Munich, using the amusing analogy of a ‘duck’,” reported Goal.com on July 27 (ET).
A lot happened for Kane in the summer transfer window. Kane had one year left on his contract at Tottenham, and talks to renew his contract had stalled. Several big clubs were monitoring Kane's movements. The most interested team was Munich, who were without a striker.
The German club was in a tug-of-war with Spurs over the transfer fee. Eventually, Spurs increased their asking price and Kane was hesitant about the move. But on August 11, it was finally decided that Kane would leave Spurs.
He joined Munich for a transfer fee of €100 million and a €20 million add-on. Kane's departure left a huge hole in the squad and raised concerns about Tottenham's prospects for next season. This was compounded by the fact that Postecoglou took over as manager shortly after Kane's departure.
However, despite it being his first season in charge, Postecoglou has done well and Spurs are still in contention for a Champions League spot, which is a significant achievement without Kane in his debut season. However, while Postecoglou admits that Kane's departure was a difficult moment for Spurs, he is amazed at how the players have kept their 먹튀검증 composure in the face of adversity.
Speaking about Kane's departure, Postecoglou told reporters, “I think that's our starting point. Because I was literally sitting here the day before the Brentford game and he just left. The season is starting and the most important person in the football club has left the day before the first game,” he said.
He continued: “And I remember making a really conscious effort. “And I remember I was really consciously trying to realize that an old duck looks really graceful on the water, and that if something were to happen that would cause me to panic, it would be underwater where no one could see it, especially the players.
“Especially when you look at what Kane has done this year (at Bayern Munich), it's unbelievable,” Postecoglou said. It made me think: 'The guy who left Tottenham is a really good player'. But if we were scoring a lot of goals, Kane wouldn't be mentioned as much.”
Tottenham's form has had its ups and downs, but it hasn't been broken, and they are on track to surpass last season's goal-scoring record. Currently, Spurs have 77 goals, which is an improvement on the 70 goals they scored the previous season. This statistic shows the team's collective effort and determination to succeed, despite the absence of their top goal scorer, Kane.
