That is the story of Harry Kane, with a 14 -year journey. A total of 5,223 days from the time of launching the first professional match. With that year, about that day, Kane could only find the first trophy in his career when he was 31 years old. Not because he is only on the official payroll of two clubs (lent to 4 other teams in the early stages but not in the group can compete for titles). Kane has even had a very close time in glory - 2 times the Premier League runner -up, in the Champions League final (2019 with Tottenham), in the Euro 2020 final (with England), but all failed.
Is Kane good? Yes, that's for sure! Not winning any title does not mean that Kane is an ordinary player. On the contrary, personally, he is among the best strikers in the world, with winning the Premier League Top Scorer Award (3 times), Bundesliga Top Scorer Award, Champions League Top Scorer (2023-2024), World Cup 2018 Top Scorer Award, EURO 2024 Top Scorer Award, European Golden Boot award...
The England captain was even labeled as a "heavyweight". Because even when they left Tottenham to join Bayern Munich - the team that dominated the Bundesliga (Germany) many years before, in the 2023-2024 season, somehow, the "Gray Tigers" failed in all three fronts.
Fate still knows how to tease you, because the way Kane reached the finish line was a bit... ironic. Because after more than 5,000 days of searching, the championship came in the most leisurely way. Kane was suspended for a 3-3 draw with RB Leipzig on Saturday, then Bayer Leverkusen failed to win against Freiburg on Sunday, leaving Bayern 2 rounds early.
But anyway, Kane's journey is a testament to perseverance and determination. In the modern world of football, where titles are considered a measure of success, Kane's story reminds us that sometimes, real value lies on the journey, not just at the destination; sometimes, good things need time to come.
And when they come, it will feel sweeter than ever.
