Coman: Kane Surpasses Lewandowski in Playmaking
Kingsley Coman highlights Harry Kane's versatility and deeper involvement in Bayern Munich's attacking build-up, comparing him to Robert Lewandowski.
Kingsley Coman, the French winger for Bayern Munich, has shared his views on the differences between current teammate Harry Kane and former Bayern striker Robert Lewandowski. According to Coman, Kane's versatility and ability to contribute to build-up play give him an edge over Lewandowski in certain aspects.
"Both are exceptional forwards," Coman said. "But Kane has a more significant impact on the game beyond scoring goals. He drops deeper, connects with midfielders, and creates opportunities for others. Lewandowski, on the other hand, is more focused on positioning himself in the penalty box and finishing."
Coman also highlighted the subtle differences in their finishing styles. "Lewandowski is undoubtedly one of the best finishers inside the penalty area, with an unmatched ability to find space and score. However, Kane brings a different dimension with his shooting power and accuracy from outside the box, making him a more complete player in certain scenarios," he added.
Since arriving at Bayern Munich, Harry Kane has quickly adapted to the team's style, contributing goals and assists while enhancing the overall play with his creativity and vision. His ability to function as both a traditional number 9 and a playmaker has been instrumental in Bayern’s attacking success this season.
Lewandowski, who left Bayern for Barcelona, remains one of the most lethal strikers in the world. His incredible goal-scoring record during his tenure at Bayern solidified his legacy as a club legend. However, Kane’s dynamic skill set offers Bayern new tactical flexibility, allowing the team to evolve and adapt in high-stakes matches.
Coman’s remarks underline the growing appreciation within Bayern for Kane's contributions, both as a scorer and a creator, as the club aims to maintain its dominance in Bundesliga and make a deep run in the UEFA Champions League.
