  "account": "Bayern Munich's Harry Kane has spoken about the campaigns of Lamine Yamal and Kylian Mbappé in the Ballon d'Or race. The English striker acknowledged that everyone is entitled to campaign for themselves, but confessed that it's not his personality to do so. Kane, who moved to Bayern Munich from Tottenham Hotspur, credited the transfer for turning his career around. The striker emphasized that winning the Ballon d'Or would be an unbelievable achievement, expressing his pride in what he achieved last year. He also discussed the timing of the award, stating it's challenging given players are already focused on their new campaign. Kane believes he is in the running for the prestigious award and acknowledged that campaigning for oneself might influence the debate around the winner, but not always the voting itself. He expressed gratitude towards those who acknowledged his achievements, stating that it makes him more proud than trying to talk about it himself. As the voting has concluded, the speculation over the winner will continue until the end of October.",
