Bayern Munich may have won their last two games in a row after that Champions League horror show, but Eric Dier has decided that even playing the said two games was enough for him to decide on his retirement. No one was more surprised than his close friend Harry Kane. “A good friend of mine, Eric Dier, is going through a bit of a… I’ll give him a little shoutout, he’s going through a bit of a tough spell,” Kane admitted. “All of a sudden, he’s come back and said he’s retired.
“I can’t get my head around it, so we’re trying to get him back out of retirement to get out there and play. Just need to get him out there and once he has that feeling, I think he’ll be sweet. He’ll be back out there, I’ll get him out there.”
For some reason, Dier chose to stop playing golf after a difficult spell this year. Kane probably thought that his mate was channeling his inner Gareth Bale just the other way around; Bale most likely told Dier about his plans during their time together at Tottenham Hotspur.
