Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane is a bonafide star, but even he is eager to see what teammate Michael Olise and Chelsea FC star Cole Palmer can do on the pitch when the two squads square off.
“Two great players. They have a lot of similar attributes Both find the spaces really well, their forward passing is really good, they see runs and through balls — and both score goals. Michael might be a bit more of a wide player that goes into 1v1 and uses his pace, while Cole is more of a number 10 or even
as a number 9 that runs in behind and finishes himself. Both are fantastic players. I’m glad Michael is with us and not with them,” said Kane (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
Kane expects to play a big role in keeping Chelsea on their heels.
“I always back myself to score goals. I had to get used to everything at a new club and didn’t know how well things would go. I’m very happy with how things went and want to build on that. Our style of play suits me well. I have a lot of self-confidence right now and I’m physically and mentally strong. If we’re in good form as a team, I’ll score a lot of goals,” said Kane. “When Jamal’s not playing, I do drop back a bit. Jamal also creates more chances for the others. Since he’s injured, I am dropping back a bit but that also helps because as a number nine, I’m often marked out of the game by opponents. We’ve not done any special work on that, it’s more been dictated by the personnel situation.”
