00:00Harry Kane has won the Ballon d'Or, becoming the first Englishman to claim football's most prestigious individual award since
00:09Michael Owen in 2001.
00:13The Bayern Munich striker scored 73 goals for club and country last season, helping his side secure a domestic treble
00:22and captaining England to a World Cup semi-final.
00:26At 33 years old, Harry Kane remains England's undisputed leading striker, with his goalscoring record and professionalism making him central
00:37to Thomas Tuchel's plans.
00:40Strikers such as Ivan Toni and Leeds United's Dominic Calvert-Lewin will have been watching on and supporting their England
00:47team-mate,
00:48knowing that Harry Kane will be leading the line for England for many years to come.
00:54Unless fitness becomes a concern, Kane looks set to lead the line for the foreseeable future for England.
01:04Yeah, I think I've said before, you know, people see the end product, they see me soaring goals, they see
01:09me on the pitch, they see me winning games and trophies.
01:11But, you know, it's very rare for people to see what goes on behind the scenes, what allows me to
01:17be able to do that at the highest level consistently.
01:19I spoke about my doctor, Alejandro, we work so much together, we spend so much time alone in the room
01:26on the treatment table with needles and all that sacrifice in saunas, in ice baths,
01:32time that, you know, I'd love to be spending with my kids, with my family and my wife, but it's
01:37all part of the dedication.
01:38If you want to be at the very top level, you have to sacrifice some time and some things.
01:43So, yeah, I think this trophy is a reward for all those people as well in my life.
01:49The people that, you know, are not my teammates, are not on the world's days themselves.
01:55And I have an amazing team around me, incredible people that help push me, put me in a place to
02:01be able to achieve my dreams.
02:04So, yeah, this one's for them as it is for me.
02:07Yeah, no, for sure.
02:08I speak a lot about my team, my teammates, because they allow me to be the player that I am.
02:14I'm lucky and blessed to be surrounded by incredible players, incredible people, both with the national team and with Bayern
02:20Munich.
02:21You know, when you have players like Michael around you, Lucho, and these guys, Bakayo, who's here tonight, and Jude,
02:30and all the top, top players assisting me and putting me in positions and dragging defenders away.
02:36They obviously allow me to then express myself with goals, with assists.
02:41And, you know, as much as, yeah, this is an individual award, I give thanks to them because it wouldn't
02:47be possible without any of them.
02:49And, you know, that's what makes the team.
02:51And hopefully I can share this trophy with them and have a good celebration at some point.
02:57You
