Harry Kane admits some England stars won’t like Thomas Tuchel’s methods as he sheds light on German’s 'straight-talking' style

<p>Kane, who worked under Tuchel in his maiden season with Bayern Munich in the 2023-24 campaign, is looking forward to working with his former coach.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/england-need-harry-kane-ollie-watkins-future-bright/blt5bd37dd3a35600e3">Tuchel is all set to take charge of the England men's national team</a>&nbsp;from January 1, 2025. The ex-Tottenham star spoke highly of the German manager's tactical acumen and shed light on his character.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Speaking to <a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/harry-kane-thomas-tuchel-england-manager-b1194456.html" target="_blank"><em>The Standard</em></a>, Kane said, "It was a surprise when it got announced. After he left Bayern, I just assumed he would go back into another club. I have worked closely with him and I know how good he can be. I think he really enjoys working with English players. I think he likes the mentality of English players.</p><p>"Whether it’s videos or speeches, or whatever, he’s a really good motivator. And tactically he’s known for being one of the best. It will be interesting for him because he will experience only having 10-day camps and then not seeing us for a few months. Talking to the boys who worked with him at Chelsea, they seemed to get on well with him. He gets that balance right of having a bit of banter […], but when you’re on the pitch it is full focus."</p>

WHAT HARRY KANE SAID

<p>The Three Lions captain issued a warning towards his colleagues as he spoke about the German coach's nature. He added, "He won’t shy away from confrontation if need be. I think he will be very straight-talking in the media. But he will always protect his players. He is pretty straight in how he talks, and maybe there were some players who didn’t like that or agree with that [at Bayern]. Probably come March there will be players who might disagree with some things. Time will tell, but I am looking forward to reuniting with him.</p><p>"[His assistant, Anthony] Barry was really good for me at Bayern. It is a great opportunity for him [Tuchel] to do something special, something that’s never been done before. I’m sure he’s looking forward to the challenge."</p>
