England captain Harry Kane has admitted that he wants to win the Ballon d’Or. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, however, he knows that it will be impossible to win the award if he does not win the UCL this season.
He added that Haaland also needs to win one of the titles with City to stand a chance.
His words, “To be around a name like Pele speaks for itself. Sometimes when you’re in it, it’s hard to process some of the names you’re around or the things you’re achieving. You just want to go onto the next one.
Hopefully to score tomorrow and go level with Pele, who had such an inspirational international career, just shows how far I’ve come through my career.
I could score 100 goals this season but if I don’t win the Champions League or the World Cup, you’re probably not going to win the Ballon d’Or.
It’s the same with Erling Haaland, it’s the same with any player. You have to be winning those major trophies. With the way the season is going as a team with Bayern Munich, it looks like we’re in great shape.
It looks like we’re one of the favourites for the Champions League, for sure. So that maybe makes the odds a little bit more in my favour. Same with England. I think we’re going to go into the tournament as one of the favourites.
Whenever you are going into a year, like a World Cup year, there is a lot of excitement, a lot of talk, a lot of noise around everything. You have to try and stay focused on the now.
From my point of view, I’ve got six more weeks before I get a nice break. I am feeling good. And that break will help for us but hopefully if things go my way for club and country then I’m definitely going to be in the conversation for a trophy like the Ballon d’Or.”
WOW.
