Former Bayern striker reveals secrets to Harry Kane's incredible penalty-taking success and offers advice to goalkeepers on how to make England star 'lose his cool'

Kane’s accuracy from the penalty spot has been flawless since his move to Bayern Munich as the 31-year-old forward has successfully converted all 18 penalties he has taken for the Bavarians. Throughout his career, Kane has scored 84 out of 95 penalty attempts, a staggering success rate that has drawn attention across the footballing world.

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."

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."

Kane’s excellence isn’t limited to penalties as his overall contribution to Bayern Munich has been nothing short of remarkable. In just 63 appearances for the club, he has netted 64 goals and assisted 21 others.

Kane’s next opportunity to extend his incredible goal tally comes on Saturday evening when Bayern Munich faces Borussia Dortmund in a high-octane Bundesliga showdown. With the stakes high and Kane in scintillating form, Bayern will look to their star striker to deliver once again in Der Klassiker.
