Matthaus: Kane, the world’s top striker, has redefined the center’s playing style, but if he wants to win the golden goal, Bayern must succeed.

In his column for Sky Sports Germany, German star Matthaus praised Bayern forward Kane, whom he believes is the best center today, and talked about how he can win the Ballon d'Or. He also talked about Bayern's pursuit of Dortmund defender Schloterbeck.

Matthaus: "Kane is in extremely good form and he showed that impressively in Saturday's 2-1 win against Borussia Dortmund. I can't see a better striker in the world at the moment. It's not just because of his goals, but because of his versatility and the positions he plays in."

"Kane also showed his ability as a passer, dribbler and defender. He is also a shooter, organizer, B2B player and counterattacker. "

"I have never seen Haaland and Mbappe make tackles in their own penalty area in the 88th minute. You will not see the pass from Haaland and Mbappe that is more than 50 meters. I have never seen the pass from the other two players. I've seen it before. "

"I think Kane is better because he's able to act as a free agent. Under Tuchel, he may not have had the freedom that Kompany now gives him at Bayern, or he may not have achieved it on his own as he does now. "

"In his goal against Dortmund, he did gain an advantage by clearly pushing Gilassi. But part of what it means to be a very good player is that he's smart enough to occasionally succeed in some less-than-permissible ways. "

"We're talking about a time-sliced moment, but when people look at Kane's performance, they ask themselves why he was only ranked 13th in the Ballon d'Or voting. if he continues If this continues, then he might be able to win the trophy next year - but that will only happen if he combines successfully with the team. "

" Lewandowski won the Champions League with Bayern Munich in 2020 and was subsequently named World Footballer, but the two cannot be compared. Kane has redefined the way a centre-forward plays, just as Manuel Neuer did with the way goalkeepers play some fifteen years ago. "

" Kane is 32 years old this year and his contract ends in 2027. If it were me, I would renew his contract, and as soon as possible. Kane is a complete professional with the right mentality. He doesn't make headlines off the pitch, but is down to earth, living and loving football. "

" Schlotterbeck is also such a pure and passionate football person. His contract at Dortmund runs until 2027 and Dortmund want to keep him as the face of the club, people have sat down and are talking. But I don't think a decision will be made on his future in the next few weeks. "

"He himself has said that he attaches great importance to the next contract. Not only financially, he also wanted to succeed competitively. Bayern are serious about taking action, I already hinted at it on Saturday. My feeling is that Bayern is having a hard time renewing Upamecano's contract. If he leaves, a replacement will be needed. "

" Even if Yu Pamecano stays, Schloterbeck may still be a topic. He is a player who suits Bayern Munich and the club must keep an eye on him. "
