I will say this again. This has been only one match so far and we should not judge how a team is going to perform just based on one match. I know that the performance from Harry Kane has been good in the first match. But still, a long way to go in this season. And whenever I think about how Bayern Munich finished the last season, I start to think that probably they are going to be inconsistent again.
It is a good match from Harry Kane but he can do better than that and Bayern Munich expect more from him as well. Kane still has a long season to show his contribution for Bayern Munich, first to satisfy the club expectation on him and more important, to satisfy his ambition to win big titles that is a biggest reason why he left Tottenham.
He had many better performances for Tottenham, scored more goals, made more assists but Bayern Munich need his contribution in big matches as it is more helpful for them to win titles especially in Champions League. An assessment on a player like a success or failure in a season is very slim. In the past season we see Choupo-Moting was considered as a surprising success for Bayern before World Cup 2022. However after his bad tournament for Cameroon in Word Cup, and his poor performance in two matches with Manchester City, he was no longer considered as a successful replacement for Lewandowski.
The difference is a huge one. I mean Choupo is not a terrible striker of course but he wasn't even good enough to play every game, they tried other different things with him and I understand that, there is really nothing wrong with that and I can see the difference.
However, with Lewandowski gone, they had trouble with goal scoring and that was too obvious. Now that they have Kane, I do hope that they do better because they definitely overpaid for him, I feel like the max Kane could give them would be 5 seasons, doubt it will be that much too but that is the max amount, and they paid 100+ million for him. So I do hope that he plays very well there, if not, then all that money will be gone for absolutely nothing at all.
