The effect is good? Kane: We lost the ball from a set kick in the first half, and the assistant coach gave us a British lecture at halftime

Bayern defeated Cologne 4-1 in the second round of the German Cup on Wednesday night, but the team's performance was sluggish in the first half. Assistant coach Aaron Danks was dissatisfied with the team's conceding of goals due to set pieces. Forward Kane revealed that the former lectured the team during the halftime break.

Bayern sports director Eberl revealed after the game that he had already thought of a title in his mind after only 15 minutes of the game: "Harry Kane is in crisis." He wrote this sentence in his imaginary notebook: because Kane, who usually rarely misses, actually headed the ball towards the goal twice in this game but missed it. Eberl added that "Kane didn't score against Gladbach either".

But more than ten minutes later, Kane scored: he went behind the opponent's defender, grabbed the ball before the goalkeeper, and turned and shot with his left foot, which was considered to be weak. Kane said after the game: "This is one of my favorite goals. It is a combination of perfect shooting, technology and instinct."

With Kane and Dias' goals in just three minutes, Kane described Bayern recovering from the "chaotic first thirty minutes" and "regaining control of the game before midfield."

The goal Bayern conceded in the game was caused by a set kick in the 31st minute, and a corner kick in the 11th minute already gave Cologne a good opportunity. Therefore, assistant coach Aaron Danks took a clear stance at halftime, and Kane revealed: "He said something at halftime."

The coach in charge of set-piece training at Bayern is from England. Kane said of his compatriot: "He gave us a typical British speech." The meaning is roughly - his voice is quite loud. Kane: "Because we were a little too chaotic in our own penalty area. We didn't really stand in the right position and didn't execute the instructions clearly."

Aaron Danks' midfield lecture may have had a good effect. At least Bayern's situation returned to normal in the second half. Kane also achieved a signature header through Kimmich's corner kick.

The goal conceded in this game is Bayern's first corner kick and third set kick conceded this season. Bayern may see this as a lesson, especially given the upcoming assignments against Bayer Leverkusen and PSG: in these games, small mistakes are immediately punished.
