The conversations between the supporters of Bayern Munich who leave Celtic Park made it clear, Roten had no trusted tanks replenished to the capacity.
Vincent Kompany, you like to like it. It seems to have the type of distant authority with which they can be associated and, nevertheless, their team, they agreed, was a work in progress.
Michael Olise has added class, but they are not the red machine of yesteryear. And not simply because the interference with traditional colors had left them unable to use their homemade kit in the Champions League with the UEFA that governs the names and numbers on the back of the shirts were not visible enough.
Most of the doubts revolved around force on the back, where goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is almost 39 years old, and vulnerabilities away from home in the Champions League reflected in the inability to kill Celtic draw in Glasgow.
Faith has been shaken by that rare season of empty hands, and yet on the front, Harry Kane continues to shake the goals at a pace to extend the lineage that extends from Gerd Muller to Robert Lewandowski.
Like them, Kane has objectives in large quantities, taking less care for aesthetics. He finds space and if his teammates find him, he will generally do work for the goalkeeper with his foot or his head.
Recently it was revealed that Harry Kane has a release clause in his Bayern Munich contract
Kane has scored 29 goals in 30 appearances for Bayern Munich so far this season, while continuing to thriving
Despite a first season without a trophy, Kane has turned into the objectives as the icon of Bayern Gerd Muller (right)
His goal in Celtic was the number 29 for this season and after a goalless draw with champion Bayer Leverkusen in front of the New England chief, Thomas Tuchel, on Saturday, his total Bayern's total is located in 73 in 75 appearances.
There have also been assists, including wonderful Deep sweeping passes, releasing high-speed attackers in the way in which Tottenham supporters will remember him with love that he linked to his son Heung-min.
Above all, although it is the objectives. Pure goals. The groups against these teams Bayern like to crush. Taps-in celebrated with the same zeal as anything more elaborate.
The penalties and many of them sent with a remarkable approach. The place has not been lost in 29 attempts since the end of the England World Cup against France, now more than two years ago.
For anyone who learns their football after their hat-trick of European titles in the seventies, a team with SEPP Maier, Franz Beckenbauer and Muller, this was the Aura del Bayern. They personified German efficiency in an era in which we were all amazed, and Kane improves the same identity.
It is resolutely Bayern, a mature and ultra -professional athlete dedicated to his trade and a responsibility bearer.
His mentality has always been a comfortable option for the club. It is only his lack of familiarity with the important trophies that spoils him. And why can't you change that? Why can't Kane the year 2025?
Eight clear points at the top of the Bundesliga after keeping Leverkusen at bay, with a final of the Champions League in Munich and a Club World Cup in the summer, which does not have the same fears exhausted in Germany with a flight Superior of 18 teams, a domestic cup competition and a winter break.
Thomas Tuchel will monitor the progress of his captain of England in his former club
The striker has maintained his goal score with Bayern, but he has not yet won a trophy
Bring a couple of those trophies home and we could be talking about him and the ball of orme. I mean, it's an irrelevant barath if you ask me, but why shouldn't I win it?
Fashionable? Not young and swish? Too old? But they love the old in the Golden Ball.
It is not the transfers market. Lewandowski was second in the 2021 vote behind Lionel Messi. In 2020, after taking Bayern to an acute, he had been the favorite when the prize was canceled due to Covid pandemic.
This was the Lewandowski of his 30 years, Kane's age now. Without the youth zipper, but thriving as an artisan teacher at the forefront of a dominant team with rhythm that is stunning around it.
The accusations that the captain of England does not produce in large games could resurface after the Leverkusen draw. Bayern was overcome and fortunate not losing and Kane barely smelled.
That is not in it. Create opportunities for him and he will write down. Kompany's Bayern is not the finished article, but evolved. The possibilities will arrive, the objectives will continue and compete for the trophies. They always do it.
Unless there is an unrelated personal reason, it is difficult to imagine why I would like to turn your back on Munich and all these opportunities and return to the Premier League.
Put your body through the rigors of English football without guaranteeing the titles that will do it regularly in Bayern, which are not stirring in the lower half such as Tottenham and Manchester United, even if Bayern is not what they were.
Bayern Bajo Vincent Kompany is not the finished article, but they still evolve under his reign
Kane should be more interested in trophies than to hunt Alan Shearer's record
Just to hunt the Gate of the Premier League of Alan Shearer. Actually? When are there real trophies to win?
Five things learned this week
1. The strong vibrant of Paul Warhurst and Mikel Merino, the Arsenal emergency striker who scored twice in Leicester.
Warhurst was a central half in Sheffield Wednesday convened to resolve a crisis in 1992-93.
He started at the front with a goal at Nottingham Forest, two against Spora Luxembourg in the UEFA Cup and scored 12 in 12 games.
He finished the season with 18, helped the OWLS to two Cup finals and England called as a striker, at which time he no longer wanted to play in defense.
2. Experience is more useful during difficult times and Chelsea, which operate a football team next to its international players' trade, are discovering that this has been hurriedly eliminated from all because it has no value.
Suddenly, they look a bit like what they are: a collection of young extremely talented soccer players who need examples to continue and learn at work.
Chelsea seems to be a collection of talented young stars that need a senior example to search
3. Luton Town without ego was well prepared to mount the descent. No one thought they were too good for the championship, and I was sure they would find their feet despite a difficult beginning.
That have not emphasized the importance of impulse. For 10 years they were an ascending force until a season in the Premier League sent them back. They have lost 43 of the last 70 league games and won only 13.
4. In a week, when the 16 -year -old Michael Noonan of Shamrock Rovers and the Alegio de Ajax scored in Europe, Kevin Ellison, 45, was on the target with a 98 -minute equalizer for the Vauxhall Motors promotion in the Premier North West League.
5. Not the fear of semi -automated offers in seven of the eight ties will come to rescue the FA Cup.
