Harry Kane vai entrar no London Palladium na noite de segunda-feira sem saber se o Ballon d'Or é dele, e a espera está desgastando quem está mais perto dele.

As casas de apostas colocam o atacante, que joga pelo Bayern e pela Inglaterra, como favorito para o prêmio depois de mais um período prolífico. A temporada passada rendeu 61 gols pelo clube e 12 pela seleção; a atual produziu 10 e seis, respectivamente. Na quarta-feira ele converteu um pênalti no empate por 2 a 2 com o Arsenal pela Champions League, na Allianz Arena, embora o momento que chamou atenção tenha sido um passe preciso em profundidade que permitiu a Alphonso Davies empatar em 1 a 1.

Atrás dele nas apostas estão Lamine Yamal, do Barcelona, segundo favorito, e Kylian Mbappé, do Real Madrid.

Kane, 33 anos, preferia que o resultado fosse decidido em sigilo. Questionado sobre ser avisado com antecedência, ele foi direto:

Acho que minha esposa preferiria saber, e minha família … é muito estressante para todo mundo.

— Harry Kane

Ele entende a lógica do sigilo:

Eles querem que todos vão, todos os grandes nomes, e haverá mais gente assistindo se não souberem.

— Harry Kane

Ainda assim, admitiu que a alternativa o atrai.

Do meu ponto de vista, claro que eu adoraria saber, só para ver e não ter de esperar a noite inteira. Mas é decisão deles, não posso controlar isso.

— Harry Kane

O atacante tenta manter o ruído à distância.

Tento não pensar nisso. Obviamente é difícil não pensar. Sempre há rumores e coisas voando por aí, então você tenta ficar longe disso.

— Harry Kane
