Harry Kane in an official interview with France Football after winning the Ballon d'Or: "I don’t think I’ve fully realised what’s happening to me yet. I’m still trying to take it all in. To be honest, it’s very difficult to fully appreciate the significance of such an important award, especially when you’re still an active player. It’s by attending events like these, seeing Cristiano, Messi and all the great legends of the past, that you begin to understand what it really means." Kane on the moment his name was announced as the winner: "I was nervous, really nervous. My heart was racing. It’s a very different kind of pressure from what you experience before a big match, when you know you can influence the outcome by playing well or scoring a goal. At the moment when Ronaldo was about to announce the winner, I felt as though he had dragged out the suspense for twenty minutes. When he said my name, all the emotions hit me at once: relief, happiness… I didn’t really know how to react. I was completely overwhelmed. I had never experienced anything like that before."   submitted by   /u/Wakanda-shit-is-that [link]   [comments]
