One of the leaders of Germany’s famous club Bayern Munich and the England national team, Harry Kane, recently shared his opinion with journalists about the tradition of exchanging shirts after a match. According to him, this custom is not only a symbol of mutual respect in sports but also an important personal memento.
Has swapped shirts with only three “legends”
Kane admitted that throughout his career, he has very rarely asked anyone for a shirt himself:
— If someone offers me to swap shirts, I will certainly agree. But I’ve only asked a few times myself. They were Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Lionel Messi. Rooney and Ronaldo gave me their shirts, but I didn’t manage to get one from Messi, — he said.
Kane emphasized that this tradition is a vivid example of mutual respect between players, positive relationships, and connections created through sport.
Mental preparation before the new season
The new season will be Harry Kane’s second with Bayern. According to him, the team has big goals ahead, and he fully understands the responsibility placed on him. Kane highly values the atmosphere within the squad, the trust of the coaching staff, and the support of German fans.
On August 16, Bayern will play their first official match of the new season. In the German Super Cup, the Munich side will face Stuttgart. This game will test not only the team’s readiness but also Kane’s form.
An anticipated clash for the fans
Among fans, there is lively discussion about how well Kane will integrate into the team, his effectiveness on the pitch, and his aims for the new season. His dynamic style and goal-scoring ability are expected to be among Bayern’s main assets this year.
Harry Kane’s candid words about the shirt-swapping tradition once again revealed his love for the sport and respect for opponents. That’s why in the match against Stuttgart, fans will be watching not only the result but also the display of sporting culture on the pitch.
