Harry Kane (31, Bayern Munich) has won the trophy that he had been looking forward to. However, he refused to lift the trophy, showing his special affection for Tottenham.
Kane played in a friendly match held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 11th (Korea time). Kane, who was deployed in the 35th minute of the second half when Bayern Munich led 3-2, showed a healthy performance in front of his fans for the rest of the time.메이저사이트
It was Kane who stood in front of Tottenham fans for the first time in a year. It was his first time since a friendly match with Shakhtar on August 6 last year. Kane left Tottenham Hotspur and wore a Bayern Munich uniform after the match. Kane even smiled broadly while hugging Son Heung-min, who was his best friend before and after the match.
Kane, who joined Tottenham Youth Academy in 2004, is a striker who has grown up in Tottenham Hotspur and has risen up to the ranks. He made his first-team debut in 2009 and made his debut at the age of 18 in 2011.
Kane was on loan four times (Leyton Orient, Millwall, Norwich City and Leicester City). However, he played as a full-fledged striker from the 2014-2015 season.
Kane's departure from Tottenham ended up being a trophy. He became a world-class striker by becoming a three-time top scorer in the league, but failed to collect a single major trophy for 14 years. This is why he chose Bayern Munich, the best team in the German Bundesliga, despite opposition from Tottenham fans.
Kane scored 36 goals in 32 matches in his first season when he moved to another league, confirming his true value once again. However, Bayern Munich ended up with no title, and remains without a title.
In the midst of this, Kane had a golden opportunity to lift the trophy. Although it was a friendly match, it was called the "Beat Malta Cup" and there was an event to lift the trophy if he wins.
After the game, attention was paid to Kane. At the time, Kane had his armband full. Originally, the captain was Manuel Neuer, and Thomas Muller and Jozua Kimmich were vice-captain. However, Neuer and Kimmich retired at half-time and Kimmich replaced Kane.
Kane, who inherited the armband from Kimihi, seemed to be lifting the trophy while wearing the captain's armband. Although it was not the main trophy, Kane lifting the trophy was a scene that Tottenham fans could also be excited about.
However, Kane refused. Kane shook his head to Kimihi after taking off his armband right after the game. He was seen explaining the reason. The footage was captured directly by the camera and spread on social media.
In the end, Neuer lifted the trophy again, and Kane stood aside and clapped. Instead, Kane received a trophy to commemorate his return to Tottenham before the game, along with Eric Dier, who also transferred from Tottenham.
Kane's behavior has become a hot topic of conversation on social media. "I have great respect for Kane," "Loyalty like Kane is rare in soccer these days," and "He is a legend of our club and the dignity and respect shown by a legend."
"I'm so used to coming here as a friendly team player," Kane said after the match. "I've been here many times before, so it was unfamiliar to be in the away dressing room wearing this uniform. But I wanted to enjoy this moment."
"I had a great career with Tottenham and I have a lot of good memories. I'm happy to meet fans again and meet many players and staff," he said. "Just looking at the game, I shouldn't have played. I only trained yesterday, but I decided to run for about 10 minutes, so it was really good."
He also said, "I didn't have a chance to say goodbye last year because everything was in such a hurry, but it was good to say thank you to everyone," and emphasized, "The reaction of the fans who clapped when I went around the stadium after the game was amazing."
Lastly, he said, "I will always be grateful to all Tottenham fans who have supported me throughout my career. It was amazing," adding, "I'm grateful that the fans saw me and I met them again."
