Sheringham Backs Rodri Over Kane for Ballon d'Or
4 Sep
Summary
- Teddy Sheringham favors Rodri for Ballon d'Or over Harry Kane.
- Sheringham believes World Cup and Champions League wins matter.
- He predicts Kane can play professionally into his 40s.
Former Tottenham Hotspur player Teddy Sheringham has offered his perspective on the upcoming Ballon d'Or award, favoring Rodri over the highly-rated Harry Kane. Sheringham stated that winning major international tournaments like the World Cup or continental championships, alongside club success such as the Champions League, should be paramount for consideration.
Harry Kane has had an exceptional season with FC Bayern Munich, netting 61 goals across all competitions and contributing significantly to their Bundesliga title win. Despite these impressive statistics, Sheringham suggests that Rodri's crucial role in leading his teams to glory, including his performances in the World Cup, makes him the more deserving candidate.
Beyond award predictions, Sheringham also commented on Harry Kane's potential career longevity. Drawing from his own experience retiring at 42, Sheringham believes Kane, who has overcome past injury concerns, could continue playing at a high level into his 40s. He also suggested Kane might finish his career at Bayern Munich rather than pursuing opportunities in Saudi Arabia or MLS.
