Diego Carlos quaking as Bayern Munich share Harry Kane footage before Aston Villa clash
Diego Carlos could be in for a difficult night for Aston Villa against Bayern Munich as footage of Harry Kane has now emerged.
The Villans welcome the Bundesliga giants to Villa Park on Wednesday (2 October) hoping to bounce back to winning ways after a draw last time out against Ipswich Town.
It will be no easy task in the Champions League against an elite side who have been handed a boost after the latest training footage emerged on Bayern Munich’s YouTube channel [1 September].
The England captain was seen on the grass ready for a session from Vincent Kompany despite coming off injured against Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday (28 September).
There is no doubt that Carlos will be worried about facing the 31-year-old after a generally poor performance against the Tractor Boys.
Diego Carlos could struggle for Aston Villa against Bayern Munich
Kane is one of the best strikers on the plane and can punish any defender in world football if he is given the opportunity.
With all due respect to Rory Delap, Carlos failed to deal with the Manchester City academy graduate on Sunday (29 September) throughout the clash.
The Brazilian was still useful with the ball at his feet as he completed 60 passes with a 90 per cent accuracy and nine into the final third [FotMob].
This is almost where the positivity ended for the 31-year-old, who failed to win a tackle and was dribbled past once while making just one clearance and four recoveries.
The former Sevilla man was turned inside out for Delap’s equaliser, which almost summed up his performance at Portman Road.
Carlos often relies on his physical attributes but against the Tractor Boys his strength didn’t do him any favours as he lost three duels, winning just 33 per cent of his ground battles [FotMob].
In fact, Carlos is now in the bottom 15 per cent of all centre-backs across Europe’s top five leagues in terms of tackles per 90 (15), as per FBref.
It is certainly a worry for Villa fans that the centre-back could be up against Kane in the Champions League on Wednesday (2 October) after an afternoon being tormented by a newly promoted side.
