Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane hopes to overcome his retreat in front of the goal when his team travels to Freiburg on Saturday. With 16 goals in 16 games this season, Kane still tops the German league’s top scorer, but the numbers contradict the direction that may cause the league leaders concern. Kane has not scored any goal of open play since November, in seven games in all competitions, although the wonderful reliability of the England captain of the penalty kick has reduced his decline. Two penalty kicks were scored at the time, which raised its score to 27 consecutive penalty kicks that were transferred to the club and the team, due to its waste of the 2022 World Cup quarter -finals against France.
In the Champions League loss on Wednesday 3-0 against Feyenoord, Kane and Bayern took control of the ball but were unable to convert a number of opportunities.
The 31 -year -old was absent from four games in December due to a tension in the knee strings and it is clear that he is not yet 100 percent.
“Of course we need his goals,” said Max Eberl, Bayern Sports Director,.
“He did not score, but he knows this and may criticize himself more than anyone else.
“I have seen many altitudes and a few declines. If anyone can deal with declines, it is Harry Kane.”
Freiburg coach Julian Schuster said today, Thursday, that his team will face Bayern after the defeat.
“When a team loses, there is automatically a little additional excitement next time. We all know what it means when Bayern is lost.”
In his first season, Schuster ranked eighth. Freiburg is particularly strong at the Black Forest stadium, where he lost only once in nine games.
Schuster said that Bayern’s loss in the middle of the week showed that it is possible to “find gaps and harm them.”
Leverkusen heads to the RP Leipzig team on Saturday, knowing that he could reduce the difference at the top to only one point if he wins and loses Bayern.
The defending champion, led by Xabi Alonso, was subjected to a special setback in the middle of the week, as he lost 2-1 to Atletico Madrid despite his progress in Spain.
Leipzig is 10 points behind Leverkusen, but it remains the only team that he won in the league since May 2023, where he won 3-2 away from home in August.
Leipzig defender David Rom said that Leverkusen is “another caliber” for the team, but he promised “to make things as difficult as possible for them.”
Dortmund lost 2-1 against Bologna in the Champions League last Tuesday, followed by the next day, the dismissal of his coach, Nuri Shaheen.
Mike Tolberg, the temporary alternative to Shaheen, will be on the bench in Saturday’s match at home with Werder Bremen in charge of returning Dortmund to the victories.
The team, which arrived in the Champions League final last season, is tenth in the league and won only one of its past nine matches in all competitions.
Follow -up player: Patrick Chic, while Kane may struggle to reach his best levels, the same thing about Bayer Leverkusen Patrick Chic striker cannot say.
The Czech striker scored 12 goals in his past eight matches, none of them came from a penalty.
A check level means that Leverkusen did not miss the injured Victor Bonifas, who seems to return to the team this week.
The 28-year-old chic spent the 2019-20 season on loan in Leipzig, and scored 10 goals in 28 games, but he has never scored against former employers.
