I know Harry and his full focus will now be on his next goal, his next performances, his next games,\u201d Danks said at a press conference on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe\u2019ll be straight back into that professional, humble mindset that got him to this level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kane had won several goalscoring honours and was runner-up in the Premier League and Champions League with Tottenham but did not break through for a first team trophy until after he moved to Bayern in 2023.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since arriving in Munich, Kane has won two Bundesliga titles and the German Cup, along with making the Champions League semi-finals in two of three seasons at Bayern.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Danks said the former Spurs striker was finally getting the recognition he deserves.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI remember years ago when he was back home in England and everybody spoke about him not winning trophies, but if you looked at his career and what he was achieving, he was having a fantastic career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe was taking the England team to European finals, he was taking Tottenham to Champions League finals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMaybe he wasn\u2019t getting the recognition in terms of trophies that he deserved, but those things are coming now for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kane and the remaining Bayern contingent who went to London for the ceremony will return to Munich later on Tuesday ahead of Wednesday\u2019s German Cup match against second-tier Magdeburg.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey\u2019re due back at lunchtime today. He\u2019ll train, practice this afternoon and be available for tomorrow\u2026 Our full focus is on the game tomorrow,\u201d Danks said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Danks also said he had visited Kompany in hospital and revealed the manager, who was rushed to hospital on Friday after collapsing on the training pitch, was improving.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe\u2019s in good spirits. It looks like every day he\u2019s getting better. There\u2019s no major updates in terms of diagnosis or a return to work, it\u2019s very calm, let him rest, let him recover.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After seven games, Bayern sit top of the Bundesliga, level on points but ahead on goal difference from Borussia Dortmund, with the two sides facing off in Munich on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AFP<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/2026\/10\/bayern-praise-humble-kane-after-ballon-dor-win\/\">Bayern praise \u2018humble\u2019 Kane after Ballon d\u2019Or win<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/\">Vanguard News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Source: <\/p>\n<div class=\"nSourse\">Vanguard News<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bayern Munich assistant coach Aaron Danks on Tuesday praised Harry Kane after his Ballon d\u2019Or win, saying the striker will already be focused on scoring his \u201cnext goal\u201d.
