The respect for Harry Kane keeps coming, and Kasper Schmeichel has delivered a fantastic tribute to the Bayern Munich striker following his Ballon d’Or triumph.
Schmeichel knows firsthand how difficult Kane is to deal with on the pitch, having faced the England captain as an opponent. His message praised not only Kane’s quality but also the hard work and determination that have taken him to the very top of the game. Schmeichel wrote the following (via @iMiaSanMia):
‘Hard work pays off! And there are
not many that have worked harder than Harry Kane. Massive respect for the journey you’ve taken to be where you are today. One of my most formidable opponents and one of the most complete footballers of all time! Massive congratulations fully deserved. Pretty cool to have played with a Ballon d’Or winner!’
That last line is a pretty great way to look at it! Kane has spent years earning this recognition, overcoming setbacks, breaking records, and establishing himself as one of the most complete strikers in world football.
Now, the Ballon d’Or is his, and even those who have had to face him on the pitch are celebrating the achievement.
