Harry Kane could make all the difference for Bayern Munich when they open their Bundesliga account against Werder Bremen according to coach Thomas Tuchel

Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel believes new signing Harry Kane can win the club points on his own and raise the level of other players in Bavaria after watching the England International train with the team for one week.

Tuchel talks up ‘Kane effect’

Kane joined Bayern Munich in a four-year deal from his boyhood club Tottenham, looking to solidify his legacy with a trophy or two, but has already missed out on the first opportunity after the Bavarians lost the German Super Cup on his debut.

Despite the initial disappointment, Tuchel believes that Kane will come good for the club, starting with his full debut against Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga’s opening fixture for the 2022/23 season.

Speaking ahead of Kane’s debut, Tuchel said, "The Harry Kane effect will not evaporate. It works on so many levels that you cannot realise it because you do not witness it daily.

"In the changing room, on the pitch, his character, his professionalism. How hard he trains, how after the defeat he was first on the pitch for training with the reserves."

Kane set for Bundesliga start

Tuchel also backed Kane to start having an effect on the team, starting with his first Bundesliga game against Werder Bremen.

Tuchel said, "He increases our chances of winning tomorrow massively. We know we will not win every match. But I am 100% committed in this. Everything I see so far confirms this. He will make our players better."

"He gives us a lot of options and will get all the time to fully adapt but I am sure he will have his impact tomorrow."

Kane is expected to play from the start against Werder Bremen when Bayern start their league campaign with the English striker looking to continue his goalscoring record from where he left off at Tottenham.
