Kane is looking forward to Bayern’s return: „As if we had signed new players“ | OneFootball

FC Bayern are looking forward to the decisive phase of the season with the return of two key players in Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies – and for Harry Kane, it feels like a double new signing

There is a palpable sense of optimism at FC Bayern. After months of absences, Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies, two players who add a special touch to Munich’s game, are back. While Davies has already been able to get his first minutes back, Musiala is at least back on the training pitch with the team after his long injury lay-off. For Harry Kane, these comebacks are a real glimmer of hope – both in sporting and emotional terms

Speaking to Sky, the English goalscorer made it clear how important the two returning players are to the team. Kane highlighted Musiala in particular. „Even before his first injury at the end of last season, I often thought that he was the best player we had in the team,“ explained the 32-year-old. Words that underline the impact Musiala can have on Bayern’s attacking play when he is fit

Musiala as a difference-maker in the Bayern system

Musiala’s return comes at a time when FC Bayern are marching steadily through the season anyway, but Kane knows that the German international can bring another dimension to the game. His dynamism between the lines, close ball control and ability to single-handedly decide games make him particularly valuable in Vincent Kompany’s system

At the same time, however, Kane also dampens exaggerated expectations. After a long injury break, it takes time to get back into rhythm. Musiala needs to gradually regain the necessary fitness and match practice. For the Bayern striker, one thing is clear: patience is the key to benefiting from Musiala’s quality in the long term

Kane made similar comments about Alphonso Davies. The Canadian has already put his injury behind him and has been able to get minutes again in the Bundesliga and Champions League. For Kane, it is clear that Davies, with his pace, aggression in tackles and deep runs, is a perfect fit for Bayern’s style of play

„It feels like we’ve signed two valuable new signings,“ said Kane – summing up just how important these returnees could be for the rest of the season. Davies in particular gives the left side a punch that has often been lacking in recent months

Bayern look to the coming months with confidence

Despite all the euphoria, Kane remains realistic. Both players are hugely important, but need to be built up carefully. It is crucial that they reach their full performance level over the course of the second half of the season. Then, according to the tenor, FC Bayern’s national and international rivals will also have to „dress warmly“

For the record champions, the return of Musiala and Davies means one thing above all: additional options at the highest level. In a phase in which the workload is increasing and the decisive games are approaching, the squad suddenly feels broader than it did just a few weeks ago. And that could make all the difference in the title race.
