Jackson joined Bayern on a season-long loan deal, with an option to make the move permanent in the summer. His role is to serve as a backup to Kane, and he is working to gain playing time under the guidance of manager Vincent Kompany.
Kane played a key role in Bayern's win over Pafos in the Champions League, scoring two goals despite being deployed in a slightly deeper position behind Jackson. Kane explained that this strategy is meant to confuse the opposing team's defenders.
"Jackson started the game today, and at times I dropped back a bit and played like a number 10, while he came in and received passes," Kane said. "I think it's essential to keep surprising the defenders and not do the same thing the whole game."
Kane praised Jackson's performance, saying he was "fantastic" and that he was happy to see him score a goal and provide an assist. He also noted that Jackson's fitness and freshness will be crucial for the team throughout the season.
Kane's comments suggest that he and Jackson are working well together under Kompany's guidance. The team's pressing and passing style has been effective, and Kane is determined to maintain this momentum throughout the season.
Kane has now scored more goals in the Champions League for Bayern than he did in 32 games with his former club, Tottenham.
