Kane performs another miracle! Leading the Bundesliga with seven consecutive victories, the 32-year-old has become Bayern s "one-stop player"

Football

In this football era of speed and explosion, a 32-year-old forward has redefined the meaning of "center" with his versatility and wisdom. On October 19, in the seventh round of the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich defeated their arch-rival Borussia Dortmund 2-1 and won seven consecutive games. They started the season with 11 consecutive victories and continued to lead the Bundesliga standings. This game once again belongs to the ageless England superstar - Harry Kane.

Not only did he score goals, he also redesigned the shape of the football.

At Dortmund's home court, Kane once again performed a precise attack. In 7 Bundesliga games, he has scored 12 goals, leading the scorer list. Counting the Champions League and domestic cup competitions, Kane scored 19 goals and 3 assists in 11 games for Bayern; he played 3 games for the England team and scored 3 goals. A total of 22 goals and 3 assists in 14 games. Such efficiency made the whole of Europe look at him.

You must know that Harland and Mbappe, who are also at the top of the football food chain like Kane, are 25 and 26 years old respectively. The former scored 23 goals in 13 games, while the latter scored 17 goals in 13 games. Not only does Kane not fall behind in terms of numbers, he even far surpasses the two young kings in terms of "court coverage."

The battle against Dortmund was his best masterpiece.

Not only did he complete the task of 2 shots, 1 goal and 1 goal, Kane was equally amazing on the organizational and defensive ends. 1 key pass, 79% pass success rate, 11 of 12 long passes were successful, and 1 pass was all successful. These data are more like the performance of a top midfielder. What is even more surprising is that on the defensive end, he also contributed 1 steal, 1 clearance, 2 blocked shots, and 5 successful counterattacks.

A forward, but he has the comprehensive data of midfielder and defender. This is not an all-rounder, but a "one-man central axis".

There was an impressive scene in the game: During a Dortmund counterattack, Kane suddenly retreated to the top of the penalty area and completed a key clearance. Immediately afterwards, he launched a long pass himself, and a few seconds later appeared in the opponent's penalty area to complete the shot. From the backcourt to the frontcourt, he completed almost the entire offensive chain - this is the real "one-stop".

So, after the game, reporters jokingly asked Upamecano: "Is Kane trying to steal your center back position?"

The whole audience burst into laughter, but there was a fact hidden behind the joke - Kane's versatility has blurred the boundaries of traditional positions.

In this Bayern team, you can see the momentum of young players and the sense of order brought by Kane. Musiala, Sane and Olise can move forward as much as they like, but Kane's wisdom allows them more freedom. He is no longer just the terminator waiting for the ball, but the team's rhythm controller, offensive and defensive center, and spiritual flag.

This role change, to some extent, also explains Bayern's terrifying start.

They no longer rely on fixed forward tactics, but let Kane become the "pivot". He can not only grab points in the penalty area, but also drop back to connect with the ball. He can also counterattack and defend when necessary. The opponent wants to mark him, but cannot find a fixed position. The 32-year-old Kane uses the wisdom of reading the game to break the constraints of age and speed.

In the Bundesliga, he is no longer just England's scoring machine, but Bayern's "new midfield engine."

Perhaps, this is the real horror of Kane - he does not rely on youthful explosive power, but relies on mature all-roundness to become the soul of a wealthy team.

When a forward can contribute goals, long passes, steals and blocks in a game, he is not just a shooter, but a system.

The existence of Kane gives Bayern more confidence and makes the Bundesliga competition look more like a single-player game.

With 22 goals and 3 assists in 14 games, this start can be called a miracle. And behind this miracle is a football veteran's resistance to time - he tells the world with his footsteps: the real peak lies not in youth, but in wisdom.
