Bayern Munich legend Matthaus feels Kane
New Delhi [India], June 16 (ANI): Bayern Munich legend Lothar Matthaus believes England captain Harry Kane doesn't seem to be 'particularly happy' under the new regime of head coach Thomas Tuchel.
After fulfilling his duties with England, Kane linked up with Bayern Munich for the FIFA Club World Cup. While leading England, he struck the net against Andorra and Senegal but missed his scoring efficiency as Bayern Munich thrashed Auckland City by 10-0 in their campaign opener.
For Matthaus, Kane's inability to find the back of the net didn't come as much of a surprise. The former German midfielder believes Matthaus needs to be constantly encouraged, a factor he is not enjoying under Tuchel's management.
'Harry Kane came away empty-handed in the 10-0 win. He may have recently scored England's 1-0 goal against Andorra, but when he's been with the national team, he always needs to be encouraged. At Bayern, fun, enjoyment, and attacking are the top priorities; at England, football isn't even being worked on at the moment,' he told Sky Sport Germany, according to Goal.com.
'It is sad to see how professional Kane is at his job. He doesn't seem particularly happy under current coach Tuchel, just as he was under his predecessor Southgate. His body language at Bayern is different than it is with the national team,' he added.
Last month, Kane got his hands on his first silverware after Bayern Munich clinched the Bundesliga title for the 33rd time. He wrapped up the season as the top goal-scorer and expressed his hunger to achieve more success with Bayern and England.
'It was incredible. A long time coming. I've had some near misses but that feeling once it was official was everything I hoped. A lot of hard work, dedication bottled into that moment. A weight off the shoulders. A celebration after a hard season as well,' Kane told Sky Sports.
'I'd have loved to have won a trophy earlier in my career. But even now I've won, OK, it may change the perception for a lot of people. Enjoy it but we go again. We'll see how many more we can win,' he added. (ANI)

NHL Trade Rumors: JJ Peterka emerges as potential trade piece in Buffalo Sabres' offseason plans
The Buffalo Sabres are reportedly considering trading winger JJ Peterka despite his breakout season (Image via AP) The Buffalo Sabres are heading into one of the most critical offseasons in recent memory, and winger JJ Peterka has suddenly found himself at the center of trade speculation. After missing the playoffs yet again, the Sabres are under immense pressure to reshape the roster—and Peterka could be one of the first major moves. NHL insider says Sabres are now listening to trade offers for JJ Peterka The 22-year-old German forward had a breakout 2024–25 season, posting 27 goals and 41 assists across 77 games. His performance has drawn attention around the league, especially with Buffalo reportedly exploring trade offers in what could become a sign-and-trade deal. — TheChargingBUF (@TheChargingBUF) According to respected NHL insider Elliotte Friedman, the Sabres are 'listening to trade offers for JJ Peterka.' While this doesn't confirm a deal is imminent, it shows the team is at least open to the idea of moving on from one of its most productive young players. Peterka is a restricted free agent, meaning the Sabres still hold considerable control over his future. However, if contract negotiations stall, a trade could quickly become the preferred option—especially if it brings back key assets to help Buffalo finally return to playoff contention. General manager Kevyn Adams isn't rushing but can't ignore the market Sabres GM Kevyn Adams has reportedly pushed back against the idea that Peterka is actively being shopped, but the interest from other teams is real. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Our one of a kind Patented Cold Water Extraction Process Superior Ginseng Undo With Buffalo finishing 36-39-7 and near the bottom of the Atlantic Division, it's clear a more aggressive roster overhaul is on the table. Peterka's high upside makes him a valuable trade chip, and if the right offer comes in, Adams may have no choice but to consider it. A sign-and-trade could give the Sabres both cap flexibility and a meaningful return in players or picks.
