Harry Kane has revealed that winning silverware at Bayern Munich was a big relief to him in terms of his career and confidence.
"Once I won the first trophy at Bayern, it was a weight off the shoulders in terms of a talking point in interviews and press conferences.
“It helped me relax and feel more free without thinking too much and having that extra pressure,” he said at England's press meeting this afternoon.
"It was tough in those moments when you feel you're performing well and putting up great numbers but not winning the team trophies which is ultimately what you're playing for.
“My situation was quite unique in that sense, I don't know if there has been another player like that who hasn't won for so long,” the striker said upon reflection.
Regardless, having claimed two Bundesliga titles, a DFB-Pokal and now a Ballon d'Or, Kane hopes he's only getting his collection started.
I'm in a sweet spot of my career where I've won many trophies in the last couple of years and hopefully loads more to go.
“Hopefully by the end of my career, I'll have 20+ trophies and those first 10 years might not be spoken about as much,” he added.
