Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has heaped praise on Robert Lewandowski and Harry Kane, two of Bayern’s star strikers, past and present.
Former Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is hoping England striker Harry Kane can win silverware this year after failing to impress in his first season at the club, Kicker reported on Saturday.
Rummenigge was asked to compare Kane with former Bavarians striker Robert Lewandowski ahead of Bayern Munich’s Champions League trip to Barcelona on Wednesday, and the former Bavarian club CEO was full of praise for the duo.
‘There are only a few transfers that are important for a club,’ Rummenigge said. ‘One was the one with Robert Lewandowski. He’s a goal machine and a really good guy. I’ve never seen a player more honest than him. I can talk to him about everything. He always gives me honest answers, not pre-arranged or self-serving answers. ‘
‘You have to understand that this is not normal because my job is to promote the club’s interests, not just his.’
‘Ultimately, Robert is a very important mentor for me. You can talk about football with him at a high level and he is very intelligent.’
Before the former Bayern Munich CEO said of Kane: ‘I hope Harry wins a trophy this year, otherwise he will soon be frustrated (laughs)’
‘He’s a good guy who fits well in Bayern Munich and people love him. He plays well, he scores goals, he looks good at FC Bayern and we are happy that he is here. What if he doesn’t score? Once I didn’t score in 10 games and everyone shook their heads in surprise. It can UFABET happen. Then came the game where I scored three goals against Nuremberg. In the end we won the title and I won the Golden Boot. ‘
