Bayern Munich legend Matthaus feels Kane doesn't seem particularly happy under coach Tuchel

Bayern legend Lothar Matthaus claims Harry Kane appears discontent under Thomas Tuchel's management, contrasting his national team demeanor.

"Harry Kane doesn’t seem particularly happy under current coach Tuchel, just as he was under his predecessor Southgate. – Lothar Matthaus"

New Delhi, June 16

Bayern Munich legend Lothar Matthaus believes England captain Harry Kane doesn't seem to be "particularly happy" under the new regime of head coach Thomas Tuchel.

After fulfilling his duties with England, Kane linked up with Bayern Munich for the FIFA Club World Cup. While leading England, he struck the net against Andorra and Senegal but missed his scoring efficiency as Bayern Munich thrashed Auckland City by 10-0 in their campaign opener.

For Matthaus, Kane's inability to find the back of the net didn't come as much of a surprise. The former German midfielder believes Matthaus needs to be constantly encouraged, a factor he is not enjoying under Tuchel's management.

"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," he told Sky Sport Germany, according to Goal.com.

"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," he added.

Last month, Kane got his hands on his first silverware after Bayern Munich clinched the Bundesliga title for the 33rd time. He wrapped up the season as the top goal-scorer and expressed his hunger to achieve more success with Bayern and England.

"It was incredible. A long time coming. I've had some near misses but that feeling once it was official was everything I hoped. A lot of hard work, dedication bottled into that moment. A weight off the shoulders. A celebration after a hard season as well," Kane told Sky Sports.

"I'd have loved to have won a trophy earlier in my career. But even now I've won, OK, it may change the perception for a lot of people. Enjoy it but we go again. We'll see how many more we can win," he added.

As an Indian football fan, I feel Kane's situation shows how important man-management is in top clubs. Even world-class players need the right environment to thrive. Maybe Tuchel should learn from our own Indian coaches who build strong player relationships! 🇮🇳⚽

Interesting analysis by Matthaus! But let's not forget Kane just won Bundesliga and was top scorer. Sometimes we overanalyze players' expressions. In India we say "Don't judge a book by its cover" - maybe he's happier than he appears? 🤔

Bayern should take notes from ISL teams - our coaches know how to keep star players motivated! Jokes apart, Kane is pure class. 10-0 win and people are criticizing him for not scoring? That's like complaining about extra chutney with your samosa! 😂

Matthaus makes valid points but I disagree about Kane being unhappy. Look at his stats - he's delivering results. In our culture we believe actions speak louder than expressions. Maybe Germans expect too much visible emotion?

As someone who wakes up at 1 AM to watch Bundesliga, I've noticed Kane's body language is different under Tuchel. But let's be real - he left Spurs for trophies and got one in first season. That's what matters most! 🏆

Respectfully, Matthaus should focus on his own analysis rather than interpreting Kane's happiness. Indian fans know true struggle - we'd be over the moon if our strikers had half of Kane's "unhappy" season! 😅
