Bayern Munich striker Kane: No disaster when Tottenham lose a few games

Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane says he left Tottenham to win trophies.

Kane admits there's a "different pressure" at Bayern.

Kane said, "Whether I win or not, the decision [to join Bayern] came down to putting me in those situations.

"With Bayern Munich sometimes we expect them to win because they have won [the Bundesliga title] for the last 11 or 12 years or whatever it has been.

"But in my short period there is still a lot of pressure to win these trophies. We have not won the cup for a few years and we have not won the Champions League for a few years, so there is definitely a lot to gain and a lot of pressure to take.

"Time will tell, but at the moment I am enjoying that feeling.

"It's definitely a different pressure compared to what I felt at Spurs. Of course we wanted to win things at Spurs but if you went a couple of games without winning then it wasn't a disaster.

"The feeling at Bayern is that you have to win every game. We won the first two games 4-0 and 3-1 and there was still talk about not being too happy about the way we played. That's part and parcel of being at one of the biggest clubs in the world.

"Of course, there is no hiding the fact it [silverware] is the one thing missing from my career at the moment and when you have got players in the [England] squad who have won things you want to be part of that as well and have those experiences as well," Kane added.

"Just the experiences of having title runs and cup runs and hopefully a Champions League run will only add, hopefully, to handling pressure in certain situations. If we are going to win anything with England we are going to have to deal with that.

"Me, being captain, I want to put myself in that position as much as possible."
