Harry Kane has failed to score in his last four competitive matches for Bayern Munich, including a 2-1 victory over Mainz and fixtures against Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund. The England captain, who has netted 156 goals in 162 games since joining Bavaria, remains without a goal in the Bundesliga and European competition. Sporting director Max Eberl, however, emphasizes that Kane's overall impact extends beyond scoring, pointing to his seven assists this season—level with RB Leipzig's Antonio Nusa for the Bundesliga lead.
Eberl views the upcoming international break as beneficial for Kane's mental state. The director suggested that recent emotional experiences, including recognition following his Ballon d'Or candidacy, may have affected his performance. A temporary return to England and distance from daily club obligations could help Kane reset mentally before returning to Munich.
Kane stands on the verge of a historic achievement with the national team. Currently level with goalkeeper Peter Shilton on 125 caps for England, Kane will become the most capped male player in English history if he features in upcoming international fixtures. Eberl believes this milestone will provide the striker with a significant motivational boost.
