On the evening of November 9, Beijing time, in the 10th round of the Bundesliga, Saint Pauli will face Bayern Munich at home. In a pre-match interview with the Bundesliga website, Saint Pauli center-back Eric Smith stated that stopping Kane is not a realistic goal, and the team can only try to cut off the connection between this top striker and his teammates.
Smith said, “Obviously, there’s no way to stop Kane; he is one of the best strikers in world football, so this task will be very difficult. But I think as long as we can prevent the players around him, we can limit Kane’s performance.”
“Of course, when you face the best players in world football, you can only do your best. If they are in good form, you just have to accept it. We understand this, but we will try our best to make other Bayern players uncomfortable and try to prevent Kane from getting the ball in his most comfortable areas.”
“It’s also impossible to focus only on Kane when facing Bayern, as they have some of the best players in almost every position. So this match will be tough, but we will do our best.”
