This week, Kane was interviewed by the British media. In the second part of the interview (divided into three parts due to its length), he discussed his playing style.

Your playing partners have different styles. Leroy Sané and Jackson have completely different characteristics when playing alongside you. Beyond your central teammates, wingers cutting inside also become your attacking partners. You have your own inherent playing style, so how do you adapt to different teammates?
First, I observe their strengths. For example, Musiala and Leroy Sané are very strong at receiving and dribbling. In these situations, I stay high, letting them drop back to receive the ball in the half-spaces, while I make off-the-ball runs behind the opponent's defense.
Sometimes Olise also cuts inside, attacking with his left foot. I sometimes drop back to receive and sometimes create passing options for my teammates. Luis Díaz has a wide range of movement. Without sacrificing my own strengths, I try to cooperate with my teammates to complement each other.
Speaking of Luis Díaz's offensive contribution, it perfectly illustrates the tactical idea we just discussed. Now let's watch a match clip, and you can share your thoughts based on the video.
With our formation, as long as there's someone in each position, it doesn't matter who exactly it is. A teammate making a forward run behind the defense can occupy opposing defenders, creating space between the two defensive lines for Luis Díaz. I make a run to draw away some defenders and create space, and then Luis Díaz dribbles toward goal.
When he had possession, there weren't many passing options, but he caught a glimpse of me in the 20-25 yard area and played the ball back. Whenever I'm in that position, I look for an opportunity to shoot. All four of our attacking players can rotate to different positions up front. In this clip, Luis Díaz is almost playing as a No. 9/10, and I just need to run into the right area and wait for my chance.

Looking at your goal highlights, many fans ask, "You're a No. 9, why don't you stay in the box more and score more goals?" This video precisely explains why you frequently leave the box – to exploit the space behind the opponent's defense. Is this habit of dropping back innate? It seems contradictory that dropping deeper actually leads to more goals.
If you don't fully understand football tactics, it's easy to simply think that staying high leads to goals. But as I said before, always staying at the very front only makes you easier to mark. A large portion of my goals come from attacks initiated after dropping back. When everyone drops back, I move into the No. 10 area, then burst into the box to shoot. That's my strength.
Another portion of my goals comes from late runs into the box. Midfielders find it hard to anticipate my runs and don't have time to track me. Last season is the best proof; my goal tally almost doubled, and many goals were scored through participating in build-up play and making late runs.
My playing style is constantly evolving. My role changes with different coaches and different opponents. This current tactical system suits me best and allows me to showcase all my strengths, which last season's statistics have already confirmed.
