Harry Kane’s ‘ultimate striker’ includes himself, Cristiano Ronaldo and… Peter Crouch – but no Lionel Messi
Harry Kane has built his ultimate striker including himself, Cristiano Ronaldo and some surprise choices — excluding Lionel Messi.
The Bayern Munich star can confidently call himself one of the best strikers in the world — if not the best — after his electric start in Germany this season.
But when asked by ESPN to build his ultimate striker, Kane was tasked with attributing eight players to eight different traits.
Edinson Cavani was chosen for movement, Kylian Mbappe for dribbling and Didier Drogba for strength.
Kane also picked Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney for his link-up play as well as himself for finishing.
Then some choices of is might raise an eyebrow or two with Ronaldo (Cristiano, that is) picked for his pace while Peter Crouch was selected for his heading.
England teammate Jude Bellingham was also selected for his work-rate — despite the Real Madrid star being a midfielder.
And Messi was left out entirely, much to the bemusement of some fans.
One replied: «He chose Mbappe ahead of Messi, and Neymar in dribbling, and then chose Peter Crouch ahead of Ronaldo in heading?»
Another wrote: «Mbappe over Messi in dribbling? Crouch over Ronaldo in heading?»
