When asked about Kane’s prospects for further integration into Bayern’s playing style in the upcoming season, Neuer replied: "It's important for Harry and for our game that the passes into the box are very short. If we win the ball high up the pitch or are in possession around the box, it's important that we get him into the game because he proved last year that he is very dangerous in front of goal. He can score with every part of his body: he is good with his head and with both feet and he has a great shot on him. He is an out-and-out striker and we can always rely on him."
