Bayern Munich player Harry Kane has spoken about his penalty-taking technique.
GOL.az reports that ESPN published information about this with reference to TNT Sports Brasil.
The English striker said he was inspired by Santos winger Neymar and Genoa striker Mario Balotelli: "There have been many players who have scored penalties like that over the years. Balotelli was like that, and so was Neymar. There were players who would wait for the goalkeeper to come off the goal line before kicking the ball. I have never done that; I have always tried to shoot with more power and accuracy.
When I missed the penalty at the World Cup, I felt that I could change something - especially if you have to score two penalties in one game. I wanted to improve this part of my game. Thankfully, everything has been going well ever since."
It should be noted that Harry Kane has played 41 games for Bayern this season, scoring 34 goals and providing 12 assists.
