Harry Kane scored 73 goals last season, but not by doing what most people expect a striker to do. In this episode of Game Changers, the England and Bayern Munich ace sits down with BBC Sport Football Tactics Correspondent Umir Irfan to break down the finer details of his game, explaining why dropping deeper can be more dangerous than staying in the box, how modern man-to-man football has changed the striker role, and why timing, movement and space matter more than ever. Kane also discusses his partnership with Bayern Munich's attacking players, the evolution of his role as a No.9, comparisons to some of football's all-time greats, and the Ballon d'Or conversations surrounding him after a remarkable campaign.
