Düsseldorf. After an emotional speech and a historic Ballon d’Or award, Harry Kane returned to Germany on Tuesday. Now he will be involved in the cup match for Bayern Munich. Kane is the first English player to win this award in 25 years. Germany had to wait even longer to get this award. For the first time in more than 45 years, Bayern was able to celebrate its players winning this award.
Germany has won this award since 1996 for a player who plays for a German club. Bayern’s sporting director Christoph Freund said, ‘We are extremely happy with Harry Kane’s performance. He is not the best player just because of goals. Not only on the field, but also off the field, he is an equally good player. It is difficult for anyone to get a player like him.
Freund said that despite being a big star like Ken, he is a very easy-going person. He added, “He is one of the best players in the history of world football, there is no doubt about it.” After reaching Munich from London, he will also participate in training. During that time, Bayern has planned to give him a special welcome. Bayern is facing Magdeburg of the second division in the second round of the German Cup on Wednesday.
Bayern’s aim will be to defend this cup title. While winning the title last season, Kane also scored a hat-trick in the final. In the German Bundesliga, Bayern will face its big rival Borussia Dortmund on Saturday. Kane will be specially honored during this ‘classic’. Kane is the fourth player to win the Ballon d’Or for Bayern.
Earlier, German great players Franz Beckenbauer, Gerd Müller and Karl Heinz Rummenigge won this award. Rumeniga won this award for the last time in 1981. In 2020, Robert Lewandowski was expected to win this award, but due to the Covid epidemic, no one was awarded that year.
The news of Kane’s award has come at a time when Bayern is going through some grief. Coach Vincent Kompany fell ill during training last week. A family member of midfielder Joshua Kimmich also died. Freund said that after some bad news, everyone was happy that Kane had achieved the award. Ap
