German manager, Thomas Tuchel has come out to reveal how he infected Bayern Munich’s board during a transfer scramble for Harry Kane. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he was so adamant about Kane that he infected the board members at Bayern with the zeal and readiness to go all out for the England striker.
Tuchel added that he remained firm in the transfer committee and did everything to ensure the club signed him in the end.
His words, “It is not my understanding that I should hand over a piece of paper and say: ‘Now get me this player or I’ll leave’. That wasn’t the case in England either. It was always my intention to do my best for the team from a coaching perspective, always in the knowledge that there are also many other components, such as the financial ones. It is always an objective, goal-orientated exchange with the aim of improving the team. Of course, there can be different opinions. I have no reason to complain. I’m still proud today that we got Harry Kane. I was so adamant about Harry that I ‘infected’ Brazzo with the fire. I stayed firm in the transfer committee and did everything so we get him. That was never a problem and didn’t play a role, neither in February nor now.”
WOW.
