Harry Kane will find it hard to emulate Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in the twilight of his playing career, Dietmar Hamann has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
Admitting that he does not see Kane playing at the 2030 World Cup at 26, Hamann stated that it will be a big ask for the England captain to deliver for his nation in the coming years.
Dietmar added that not many footballers can do what Ronaldo and Messi have done for decades.
His words, “He’s turned 33 now so he’ll be 36 going on 37 in four years’ time. It’s a big ask.
Obviously, we saw two of the all-time greats playing in the World Cup, one 39, one 41. One did well, the other one didn’t. You know, I wouldn’t put him in the same bracket as those two.
Even though he would be a few years younger than these two guys playing in the World Cup, I think it’s a big ask. It’s a big ask because he started playing pretty early. He went out on loan in the lower leagues, played an awful lot of games in the Premier League, didn’t really have many injuries. The odd ankle injury, I think he’s had.
He hardly missed a game in the last couple of years here in Munich. To see him in the World Cup in four years’ time, if you put me down to an answer now, I’d probably say no.”
Harry Edward Kane MBE (born 28 July 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for Bundesliga club Bayern Munich and captains the England national team. A prolific goalscorer with strong link play, Kane is regarded as one of the best strikers in the world.
He is both Tottenham Hotspur’s and England’s all-time highest goalscorer, as well as being the second-highest all-time goalscorer in the Premier League. Kane has scored over 350 goals for club and country.
Beginning his senior career with Tottenham Hotspur in 2009, Kane had loan spells out to clubs across the English football pyramid, including Leyton Orient, Millwall, Leicester City, and Norwich City. Kane’s involvement at Tottenham increased after Mauricio Pochettino became head coach in 2014, and in his first full season at the club he was named PFA Young Player of the Year. In the 2015–16 and 2016–17 seasons, Kane finished as the league’s top goalscorer.
Harry Edward Kane was born on 28 July 1993 in Walthamstow, London to Kim (née Hogg) and Patrick Kane and has one older brother, Charlie. He has Irish ancestry through his father, who is from Galway.
