Harry Kane: Europe’s top scorer plays like a midfielder – we asked him to break down his game
“Over the last five or six years, man-to-man pressure has become bigger,” Kane says.
“European football is physical and top teams are trying to win the ball back high, trusting their defenders and midfielders to defend man for man to win their battles.”
Given that change, the best teams have recruited physical athletes and brilliant dribblers who can beat their man when the game becomes a series of one-against-ones.
Kane, not known for his dribbling – and by his own admission “not the fastest”, has thrived on his own terms.
Against Dortmund, there was a specific moment Kane dropped deep, looking to arrive in space unmarked. Recognising the danger, two players converged on the Englishman.
Kane’s dribbling is cerebral. His speed of thought provides him solutions to problems others would attempt to solve with their feet alone.
After getting low and using his strength to shrug centre-back Waldemar Anton off him, Kane rose, slightly adjusting his body to the right. These micro-adjustments are a hallmark of his game and through them he is able to shift an entire team’s momentum.
Fooled by this feint, Daniel Svensson and Jobe Bellingham found themselves wrong-footed as Kane snapped the ball back the other way, opening up the entire pitch from within Bayern’s half.

Brian Barry-Murphy: Head coach to become Cardiff’s longest serving boss since Neil Warnock
Barry-Murphy took the reins at Cardiff during a difficult period for the club after their first relegation to the third tier in 22 years.
The former Rochdale manager exceeded the average 277-day tenure of his predecessors by March of this year, when the Bluebirds were second in League One.
And like Warnock he delivered a promotion, although his came in the first season, to get Cardiff back into the Championship at the first attempt.
By winning 34 of his 62 games in charge of the Bluebirds thus far, Barry-Murphy has achieved that goal more often than not.
Average attendances for home games increased in League One – despite relegation the previous season – and will likely do so again this campaign.
The emergence of several talented youngsters and the style of play adopted during his spell has rejuvenated the feeling among Cardiff fans.
And after three draws and a defeat to start the campaign, the question now is whether he can maintain the positive feeling in the Championship.
Barry-Murphy is confident of it, even after a quiet transfer deadline day, during which Cardiff were unable to sign the targets their head coach wanted.
Many fans have voiced their concern about a lack of squad depth, with only four players recruited at the Cardiff City Stadium this summer.
But Barry-Murphy feels he has been backed in the transfer window and is pleased with the players at his disposal for a gruelling Championship season.
There would be no better way for the Irishman to mark his latest Bluebirds achievement than to claim his first Championship win on Saturday.
Third seed Felix Auger-Aliassime said he was “dizzy and seeing spots” in a surprise second-round loss to Karen Khachanov at the US Open.
A two-time semi-finalist at the tournament, the Canadian lost 6-7 (5-7) 6-3 6-2 6-2 to the unseeded Russian.
Auger-Aliassime is the highest-ranked player to exit in the men’s singles draw so far in New York.
The 26-year-old said afterwards he had started to feel unwell early on against Khachanov.
“After a set and a half, I just couldn’t feel well and was dizzy and seeing spots and couldn’t recover,” he said. “I thought maybe it would pass, but it didn’t.
“I’ve never felt quite like that. I’ve had cramps before. I’ve felt tired towards the end of matches, but in a normal way.
“This was abnormal a little bit, and there were no signs in the last couple of days and no signs this morning, as well.”
His exit followed that of 24-time Grand Slam champion and fourth seed Novak Djokovic in the first round.
Auger-Aliassime reached the quarter-finals of this year’s Wimbledon and French Open, but withdrew from the Rogers Cup in Montreal in August with a back injury.
“I am not sure but maybe he had some physical issues and that is part of our sport,” Khachanov said in his on-court interview.
“I wish him to feel better and speedy recovery if he is injured.”
