For such an incredible footballer, Harry Kane took a very long time to win a trophy. His Bundesliga title with Bayern Munich at the end of last season was his first in his professional career. Speaking to The Athletic, Kane explained how it felt to win his first trophy.
“Obviously it was a long time coming,” said Kane. “There was a lot of hard work from when I started my career to that moment. A lot of ups and downs, a lot of close moments. As the years go on and you get closer, it just made me more
motivated to get over the line, to make sure I win the first trophy.”
“It was a special feeling. We had a restaurant that we took over and just got drunk and celebrated together. Then lifting the trophy at the Allianz in front of the fans and being on that side of it for once was really special. I had my family there, my kids on the pitch after.”
“Those are the moments that make it all worth it. You work so hard throughout the year, you’re away a lot, you’re training a lot. To not have had a celebration like that in the 10 or 12 years I’ve been playing… it was nice to have that feeling.”
Winning is almost like a drug,” said the England captain. “You want to do it, you want to achieve it. When you achieve something like that, you can maybe think, ‘OK, I’ve done what I wanted to do and relax a little bit’.
“But I’ve gone the other way in terms of: ‘OK, I want to do even more now. I want to experience that with bigger trophies, on bigger occasions. Can I improve and make that happen?’.”
Fans will be asking the same question. We hope Kane goes even further, and wins it all with FC Bayern!
