He said this to point out the significant difference between Tottenham and Bayern Munich. He indicated that it is top team mentality to win as many games as possible. Even when you lose one game you can be under pressure. It is a good thing that he says this actually because it is really the truth.

Tottenham have never been under pressure to become competitive for the Premier League title. Because it isn't a realistic goal for them considering their history so far. But if you are playing for a team like Bayern Munich you had better do your best to win and be praised by people.

Now, we need to see how good is Harry Kane playing under pressure. He was good in Tottenham when playing without pressure, I hope it will be same. However do Southgate is pressuring Kane when he play for England? Kane is still good when he play for England.
Is not it having a target to win a trophy give pressure to the kane? I meant the club must have target to be achieved. I don't even think if totenham won't give him a target. Kane being paid to help the club in winning trophy but unable to win it will give burden to him.
Qualified for UCL has been also the minimum target that may be planned by the club. The players have responsibility to achieve it as the club has paid them to do their jobs. I never think kane played in totenham without pressure.
The pressure is something that will be motivating the player to work even harder to achieve what has already become its target.

Next ten days, we will see Bayern Munich meet Manchester United in Champions League.
Kane will have the same pressures as when he played at totenham. Kane must win the game against manchester united and secore full points for the club.

Every player who has very reliable talent definitely wants his career to continue to develop in big competitions and Harry Kane has the choice to join Bayern Munich because he also wants to win the champions league title and win trophies in other competitions to show that his career will not be in vain, unlike others. When he was at Tottenham, even though he tried hard to appear strong, he scored lots of goal, but it was all in vain because Tottenham only relied on harry Kane, so it was impossible to reach big competitions, while winning title in premier league was very difficult.
In Harry Kane's debut season with Bayern Munich, it is still not certain that he will be able to immediately win the Champions League trophy because this season the competition in the Champions League is still quite tough. But if it's just to win a trophy in the Bundesliga, I think it's very possible because Bayern Munich is still able to dominate quite well in the Bundesliga. In the Premier League the competition is also quite tight so it is not easy for Tottenham to dominate very well because their rivals here are also much better than Tottenham.

I think there was fundamental problems with Manchester United's defense the goalkeeper shouldn't bear the brunt of the criticism. It takes a team to succeed, and when the defensive line isn't playing well even the finest goalkeeper may have trouble. Although Onana arrival may offer a new viewpoint it's important to remember De Gea accomplishments as well. In order to get greater outcomes, the team ultimately needs to focus on their defensive togetherness. Blaming one player won't solve the more significant issues they have been dealing with for a while.
I also think that Man United is having problems that if left untreated, it will hinder their achievements. Ten Hag should know very well that their defense line needs serious attention but somehow he prefers to sign a midfielder rather than a potential defender. Man United did indeed get Jonny Evans but I don't think he is the defender that Man United really needs at the moment because he is old and his performance may not be better than Maguire. What Man United needs is a tough defender who is not just a backup for Martinez and Varane but someone who can compete for a defender position in the first team.

They had to think about density and backup for this season as this season they are not only in PL but also in CL. It is very hard for clubs to manage their squad with injuries and all when they have both CL and PL around. We either way needed some backups as centre back. We still might need one but I think as for now it is ok with what we have.

I feel that there should be rotation from time to time so that everyone gets chance and develop themselves. I like the fact that Arteta is giving some chances so I think he is managing it very well so far. I think in next game instead of playing Partey as right back and White as center it will be Kiwior and Saliba at center and White as right back.
Each coach will try their best to adjust strategy and player rotation based on the opponents they will face.
There are times when the coach rests several important players in a match and chooses a second player to play. That's what Arteta and all the other coaches do so we don't have to worry about that.

In my opinion, a coach will likely only have difficulty adjusting his strategy if he loses a key player due to injury. Many coaches depend on such players for their team's performance, but when injured, the team's performance is greatly affected. This is experienced by most teams, including even the top teams.

Tottenham were a mediocre team. Their aim was to keep the performance somewhat stable and stay in the top 5/6 of the points table . They never had such lofty ambitions as winning the title.  On the other hand  bayern munich's scenario is completely different. This team dominates the bundesliga. The bundesliga title is won every season. At the same time  their goal is to win the Champions league title . A completely different environment for harry kane. If harry kane enjoys this he will be more confident and able to perform better.  Bayern Munich have the potential to dominate the Champions League and Bundesliga if Harry kane continues his form.
Kane also said that Tottenham were only trying to maintain the quality of their game throughout the season. and ambitions for trophies may not count for much.
Of course Kane wants to play in the Champions League and also wants a trophy in his career. Moving to a club that has strong ambitions like Munich is the best choice for him.
He also talked about the pressure in Munich, but if he can overcome that, then his development will be even better. However, if a team has ambition it will definitely have pressure on its players to develop their potential to be better and ultimately achieve the target. Good results are achieved by hard work, not by surrendering to circumstances.
Every player who has very reliable talent definitely wants his career to continue to develop in big competitions and Harry Kane has the choice to join Bayern Munich because he also wants to win the champions league title and win trophies in other competitions to show that his career will not be in vain, unlike others.

I would like to know next weekend whether Newcastle will be able to bounce back and win from Brentford or not because from 3 matches they were failed to earn points and the latest is Newcastle lose from Brighton so their consistency is really tested this season because Newcastle had tight schedules because after fight against Brentford then on monday Newcastle have to play against AC Milan on champion league so Eddie Howe probably will do some rotation players to ensure all of Newcastle players in the good fitness

Last season Brentford was recognized as a giant killer this because they were so often to playing unpredictable and beat big teams but this season i have to says they haven't reach to their top performance again and about the match for next weekend i can see Newcastle had good records from Brentford so if they can managed their consistency i think very possible Newcastle will return to the winning ways and collect 3 points from Brentford

Some horror tackles on the player on his debut in Brazil's match against Bolivia means he might have to rest. Although I still haven't found any news about Gabriel's current condition but the possibility of him resting for a few weeks is still possible and this could be a problem for Arsenal who are ready with some matches and a busy schedule.
Arsenal's coach Arteta was already starting games without him this season, so he will be able to adjust for the time being hopefully the injury is not going to be a long one. Kiwior will most likely be the one to start against Everton. Everton have had a bad start to the season, they may want to change it when they play against Arsenal.

Arteta's biggest hopes is that he will not have more players injured in this international duty.
Last week when Arsenal faced Manchester United he played until the end and his performance was very good and of course this is a big loss for Arsenal.
I think looking at the conditions now we might see Saliba with Ben White.
As for Jakub Kiwior, he can be in that position but looking at his current condition I think he will alternate with Tomiyasu or Zinchenko in the wing-back position because they also have an opening there considering Timber is injured.
Arsenal's defense may still be quite weak now but they must try to anticipate that so that their performance is stable. Against Everton I'm still confident for 3 points just that the tough opponents PSV in the Champions League and Tottenham in the EPL after that are troublesome.

Even though Man United is having a bad performance at the moment and they have suffered a lot of goals so far but I think it would be unfair to blame Onana for causing all of that because no matter how good a goalkeeper is, if the defense line performs poorly, then it will be difficult for goalkeeper to get a clean sheet. A defeat will always be a shared responsibility.

Gabriel Mangalas played an important role in Arsenal’s match against Manchester United; he was able to defend the match well and also stop Manchester United’s new striker Rasmus Hojlund because he is very good, and Ten Hag brought him to cause problems for Arsenal defenders so that Man United could take advantage and win the match.

He also played his role perfectly by making sure Garnacho was in an offside position; otherwise, the goal could have counted.

With all these, I think Arsenal will miss him in these matches against Everton, Tottenham, and their first Champions League match if he is confirmed injured due to the horror tackle in yesterday’s match.

Harry Kane is a top man and he will perform under pressure and there's no need to get him pressured he will perform for Bayern Munich and score goals for the Bundesliga Champions.
Southgate has nothing to pressure Harry Kane, He should rather consider his tactics for his daily use of Harry Maguire even even when in a deformed shape.

Yesterday, he fumbled big time again Ukraine National Team. AC Milan's defender Fikayo Tomori does better when it comes to defending but always gets axed when it comes to National Team Football. Southgate will never win anything with Harry Maguire at the defense.

Harry Kane has performed very well in the matches that Bayern Munich has played in and we have seen Harry Kane score goals in almost every match. Harry is a professional footballer so pressure or club change is not an issue for him. Since he has played well with Tottenham, it is only natural that he will play well with Bayern Munich.  

The way Harry Kane has been performing for Bayern Munich so far suggests that Bayern Munich will do well in this season's Champions League.  
Harry Kane must play defensively because if the Bayern Munich star gets injured, all Bayern Munich dreams will end. Harry Kane fans are waiting to see Harry Kane's great performance in the Champions League matches.

William Saliba and Kiwior can manage the back even if Gebriel is injured, moreover, Arsenal can still play three defenders and have a perfect game since Everton did not have fast wingers that can give Arsenal problem.
The three man defence woukd easily favour them against Everton because Everton are not performing very well currently and would not be a problem for Arsenal to easily beat them but their problem cluld start when they face tougher opponents  like PSV and Tottenham that have good wingers that would trouble their three man defence.

Everton at home has been a problem for Arsenal in previous seasons because they contributed to last season’s failure to win the Premier League, even though we know that they lacked squad depth last season. Nevertheless, with Everton’s current performance, I don’t think they can stop Arsenal from going home with three points, even if Arsenal play a three-man defense.

Quote
those two matches would be a big test for Arteta now he's currently facing an injury crisis from his defence line and I'll be suprised to see him win against PSV and Tottenham, i have a big doubt though and my prediction is that he'll win Everton, maybe draw PSV and lose against Tottenham because they're currently the toughest amongst those three they'll face next, well Arsenal is a big club and they could suprisenly win all three.
Arsenal is not facing any defensive injuries; Tomiyasu and Zinchanko are already back in form. The only player injured in Arsenal's defensive line is Julian Timber, and Arsenal succeeded last season without him. Therefore,  even without Gebriel, Arsenal can win these two matches because they have defenders that can still be relied on.

Regardless of how Harry Kane performs in the England national team, I think his services will still be needed so there is no need to worry. So, considering that there will be a big match in the UCL between Manchester United and Bayern Munich, this is a big match that will be quite emotionally draining, especially for United fans who are currently not very happy with the Red Devils' performance in the last few matches. UCL competition is much tougher and there is no time for Manchester United to play around with problems off the field. Like it or not, they will face big challenges, if they are still busy with player problems then Manchester United can already see the results on paper to raise the white flag.
I don't think Harry Kane has ever been put under pressure by England national team manager Gareth Southgate to score goals for the Three Lions and as much as I know Southgate, he wouldn't even want to put his captain under any form of pressure. Harry Kane is one the best strikers in modern day football and even when he doesn't score goals which is the primary work of a striker, he does help his team in playing vital roles for other players to score.
 Since Robert Lewandowski left Bayern Munich the club hasn't gotten a good replacement until the arrival of Harry Kane in the summer so as expected, the fans and management of the club would expect the England international to deliver the kind of performances that their former striker was known for. They have a crucial UEFA Champions League game against Manchester United in less than 10 days from now and I expect Harry Kane to deliver a scintillating performance against United when they meet later this month.

It's not a serious problem for arsenal. I have seen some perfect candidates that can fill his position. It's tomiyasu or saliba. These guys were also able playing as centre back to replace him.
Arsenal shall not feel frustrated after seeing he got injured. Injury was something that could not be avoided. It's a common thing in the football. As long as arsenal will still have some guys who have ability to replace him and the club shall not feel worry about that.

Im sure that if arsenal will come back stronger. I have heard that if arteta will not be using havertz in the upcoming match.

Nahh I think he definitely would be missed, Arsenal do have a varieties of players that could slot in that defense for now but the Aerial ability of Gabriel cannot be matched in this current Arsenal squad. He could have easily been replaced if at all Timber is available but he is not so what I think Arteta would like go for his bringing in Tomiyasu and then moving Zinchenko  to the right back position and White pairing with Saliba as the two center back. This could work only if it is against weaker teams with less aggressive attackers but if the attackers are aggressive then the calmness of both white and Saliba will be a problem for Arsenal.

Let me pretend to agree with what you claim about Brighton beating Man U throughout last week since I couldn't remember. What I will not agree with you is using what happened last season as the sole yardstick to judge what will happen this season, not to mention of an immediate one on Saturday this time that Erik ten Hag and his team are under much scrutiny. If at all I don't have any real trust for Man U, I still believe that it's not that bad for the team. Last season might have been awkward when met Brighton but the situation is different now, and they will do all it takes to win the next match after the ugly incidents that happened this season as fresh as it is. If at all I bet on this match, I will give Man U a straight winning and will not ever blink if I lose the bet.

In the last five encounters between the clubs Brighton have had a better of United wining three of those to United’s two, they were the only club that actually did a double over united last season. They have also started the season excellently again and at the moment could be bookmakers favourite to win the tie. But don’t get carried away against United because they have been so strong at home in the competition that I would back them to win any game at home. To be certain since the Arrival of Ten Hag only Brighton has actually won at old Trafford and it was the first game in the Premier League for Ten Hag, this shows how the manager has turned old Trafford to a fortress that can’t be defeated.

England played a game yesterday and I went back to watch the highlight just to check on just one player, the Manchester United player that every United fans despise or don't want in that club. I'm talking about Harry Maguire, I haven't found anything wrong with that guy and his style of play at the moment (except no speed) and is so shocking that he plays better than he play in the United uniform.
I never saw any errors on like when he plays for a more pressured team like the red devils, why can't he get it right with the club but he's good at the England national side?
Well to me I feel he is good but I can't find the best solution to this calamity if I should call it that, all I have to say is let the man go and somebody who's close to him should tell him that. Man UTD is not the club for him, and I believe some other players need to move out from that club too.
That's what we often see in national matches, club players who perform poorly actually play well when they are in the national team. This is also always a big question for me, or is it just because they have a burden on the state to continue to provide the best because it is in the name of nationality or is it the influence of management? Not only Harry Maguire, there are several other players who are often highlighted because of their performances with the team but are considered bad at the club. In my opinion, so far management has influenced his mentality on the field, and with this motivation it is difficult for us to find Maguire blunders when he was with the national team.

I don't think that's completely true in this case, we have players who do very well in their clubs and they're regular starters but when they're invited to represent their countries they become a problem for the fans or supporters to start asking why is this happening? You hear questions like why is he playing like a novice or is he scared or something?
Things like this happen in different ways, as for Maguire he's just doing well in the national side and I strongly believe if he make a move to any club (I'd prefer an England club) he'd do perfectly well.
But the thing is Maguire doesn't want to leave Manchester United and sometimes I feel he's kind of seeing it as a shame, well he just know when to quit the club.

If Arsenal still have dependence only on certain players then of course, this factor will make Arsenal not compete in the title race. Because after all, last season was also the case when several key players suffered injuries so that Arsenal's performance fell and failed to maintain good results. Therefore, Arsenal should learn from mistakes, and must remain strong and compact even though some of the key players cannot be played. Because only in that way, then at least Arsenal will be able to maintain good performance and results in each match.

They had to think about density and backup for this season as this season they are not only in PL but also in CL. It is very hard for clubs to manage their squad with injuries and all when they have both CL and PL around. We either way needed some backups as centre back.

Everton are always tricky opponents to play against. With their sporadic form you never know how well they will perform especially when playing against one of the top teams like Arsenal.

The three man defense is deployed by Arsenal for majority of their games with Zinchenko stepping into the middle when they have the ball and stepping back when they lose possession. This formation is being used by many of the top managers today as they look for ways to get one up over their opponent in the other technical area.

We all know that one of the problems experienced by Manchester United is their fragile defense. They improved when they had a new duo, but the fact that they haven't performed consistently every game is a problem too. Now before the league starts and Onana joins the club it's a breath of fresh air for them, and Onana's arrival is also a situation where they have to lose De Gea who I think is still performing quite well.
Now is he (the goalkeeper) to blame when many concede but with a fragile defense? if many blame him I think it is unfair.
Even though Man United is having a bad performance at the moment and they have suffered a lot of goals so far but I think it would be unfair to blame Onana for causing all of that because no matter how good a goalkeeper is, if the defense line performs poorly, then it will be difficult for goalkeeper to get a clean sheet. A defeat will always be a shared responsibility.
It's not appropriate to blame just one player when others are not playing as expected. We have to look at this as a whole and openly judge the performance of players. Just as De Gea conceded a lot when he was here, their defense is fragile and even more annoying when the same players make the same mistakes in defense.
Actually, many clubs have experienced this MU-like, and I rarely hear a goalkeeper being a scapegoat. Except for the time Liverpool experienced in the Champions League match. It was indeed seen that their goalkeeper made a fatal mistake so that Real Madrid beat them at that time.

Brighton is currently in a good shape, and they always give Manchester United a tough time when they face them, thus Manchester United facing Brighton will undoubtedly not be an easy game for Manchester United. However, given that Manchester United is playing at home, perhaps they will be resilient and find a way to win the game. However, given their current form, I can't say that Manchester United can win the game against Brighton, who have won three of their first four games this season.
Old Trafford is often famous for its awesomeness and I think this time that nickname will disappear when Manchester United have to host Brighton in the match of week 5. This is not to belittle a team like Manchester United, but in fact up to now they have had great difficulty maintaining their consistency. In last season's meetings, whether home or away, Manchester United never won against Brighton. I think it's clear who the winner is this time and it's likely the score will come back with a narrow win for Brighton.
Let me pretend to agree with what you claim about Brighton beating Man U throughout last week since I couldn't remember. What I will not agree with you is using what happened last season as the sole yardstick to judge what will happen this season, not to mention of an immediate one on Saturday this time that Erik ten Hag and his team are under much scrutiny.
