The race for the Ballon d’Or is heating up as the ceremony approaches, with Harry Kane and Lamine Yamal among the leading candidates. While the young Barcelonan had recently felt that the trophy should reward “the best player in the world” rather than simply the one who “scored 80 goals”the Bayern Munich striker was asked to react to these statements. In an interview given to The StandardKane preferred to remain measured while clearly assuming his ambition: “everyone is free to do what they want in this situation (in the countryside)”.
The England international, author of a particularly prolific season, nevertheless believes that his performances speak for themselves and recognizes his desire to win the prestigious trophy. “Personally, it’s not in my nature to talk about myself from that angle. I am still very proud of what I accomplished. And, as a matter of principle, I know that my results last year are as good as anyone else’s. So I don’t want to deny them.”he explained. Kane then assumed his ambitions: “From my point of view it would be amazing to win, I would be extremely proud to win it. » And to add: “I think I have every chance of winning, without a doubt. Time will tell, voters will choose who they want. »
