    WHAT KLOSE SAID

    Klose, the legendary striker and current coach of 1. FC Nuremberg recently shared his thoughts on what makes Kane so exceptional from the spot. Speaking to Süddeutsche Zeitung, Klose remarked, "Firstly, because he is calm. Secondly, because he can do all the different things. He can wait until the goalkeeper moves and then casually shoot into the other corner. And if the goalkeeper stands still for a long time, he has enough precision and speed in his shot to hit a corner."

    Klose also noted Kane’s foot positioning as a deceptive tool. "Harry often offers the goalkeeper a corner with his foot position and then pulls the ball to the other one at the last moment. Sometimes goalkeepers also try to trick him by feigning a move to one corner and then taking the other, but he expects that."

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    When asked how a goalkeeper might stop Kane, Klose shared his theoretical approach.

    "I would know what I would have to do," explained Klose: "As a goalkeeper, I would fake the movement twice and then I would like to see if he stays cool."
