The recognition keeps pouring in for Harry Kane, and Thomas Tuchel has added his voice to the chorus of praise following the Bayern Munich striker’s deserved Ballon d’Or victory.
The England manager congratulated his captain on becoming the first Englishman in 25 years to claim the prestigious individual award, highlighting Kane’s extraordinary performances and the leadership he brings to the national team.
“Congratulations, Harry, on a deserved Ballon d’Or. I ran out of superlatives to describe your
performances a long time ago, but I’m delighted to see that you have now been formally recognized by the football world. To become the first Englishman to win this huge honor in 25 years makes it extra special, and we are lucky to have you as our leader. I know you will enjoy this moment with your loved ones and then get back to doing what you do best — scoring goals and winning football matches,” said Tuchel (as captured by @iMiaSanMia).
The final line might be the most fitting description of Kane. He can enjoy the biggest individual honor of his career, celebrate with his family, and then return to doing what he has done throughout his time in Munich — putting the ball in the net.
