On Oktoberfest, which runs from September 21-October 6 in Munich, Kane said: "Yeah, I did [enjoy it last time]. Last time my wife wasn't here, she couldn't come, but she's coming to this one. So it should be a good occasion for her as well. I really enjoy it. I think these types of team bonding experiences are really good and it gives me more chance to get used to the German culture."
On Kompany, the former Tottenham star stated: "The coach is really, really good. I am enjoying the time with him. He is bringing a really good energy to the team. I think we will improve as we go along but so far it has been really enjoyable."
Finally, the striker added on trying to end his title drought: "I hope so, I really hope so. I think there's a good hunger in the team, especially after last year. For a club like Bayern Munich not to win any trophies was a big disappointment for us. I sense a real hunger in training, in the games. Of course, we know it will be tough as there are some good teams in the Bundesliga but we have to back ourselves to go and win the title."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Bayern failed to win a single trophy last season, the first time they have not picked up anywhere silverware in a campaign since 2012. Kane and Kompany will be hoping they can wrestle back the Bundesliga title from Bayer Leverkusen this time out.
