Harry Kane won the Ballon d’Or because of a specific tactical change, not just his goal-scoring record.
Most fans look at his stats, but this video explains how a tactical shift under Mourinho unlocked his potential. We analyze the specific instructions that moved him beyond a traditional striker role and enabled him to dominate the pitch at a world-class level. You will see how these adjustments directly influenced his path to becoming the best player in the world.
Tottenham Hotspur played a vital role in this development, though Mourinho had a much larger vision for the squad. We also break down the open-play goals statistic from a recent football tournament that highlights why this system was so effective for him. It is a look at the tactical evolution that separates a great scorer from a winner of the Ballon d’Or.
Do you think Kane would have reached this level without that specific coaching change? Tell me below.

There are no patterns in his play for defenders this is the hardest thing to defend sometime they don't even have a man to mark and then all of a sudden a trough pass or a long shot boom
Mourinho is a lot of things, but stupid aint one of them
José made average strikers like Benny McCarthy and Diego Milito to look like a first tier striker. Despite his defensive tactics, he knows how to maximize the talents of his strikers. Every Manager has their own speciality some know how to maximize their wingers like SAF and Enrique, some know how to maximize their CMs like Zidane and Pep Guardiola, some know how to maximize their centre backs like Arteta and some know how to maximize their CAM like Don Carlo.
He’s going to do the same for Jude he’s allowing him to play he’s best game
What a nonsense. As if world best players are created by trainers… they have an impact, surely, they use a player like in chess you play your pieces. And they help to bring out the best. But dont think Harry Kane got this good because of Mourinho. Harry Kane is so special, one of the best in the world…this takes more than just a world class trainer. Years of hard work. So who made Ronaldo big? Who made Messi big 😂? No need to explain such great players with the genius of somebody else. Just appreciate it, and enjoy him playing man.
Remember why droba said these days there is no striker at his level , drogba himself said strikers these days only believe in scoring but dont know how to help the team, if team not scoring, drogba was a player if he dont score he will assist or even defend especially when the great mourinho would use his "park the bus" tactics
there is a deference between Gary L. who played well, was needed for England as a player but who was never a coach and Mourinho which has been several times best coach, best tactician coach in the world, many times. In coach and tactics, better listen o Mourinho. And Kane knows Mourinho knows what he is talking about. The other were just 'players', not coachs.
I shall refrain from putting my thoughts on this…
What makes Harry Kane won Ballon d'Or? He takes the goal kicks
Kane got Son who is fast. England only have Kane, the only top striker. England dont have any other top striker.
The only pundit to see the true king kano
Now talk about how if you’re a prodigious talent, and you sign with the wealthiest club in any league and surround yourself with other world class talent, and you play against teams whose transfer budget is a tenth of yours, you dramatically increase your chances of winning this trophy. The anti-competitiveness in European football should be studied.
I just realized harry Kane looks like Timmy from South Park 😂
Le están diciendo que Messi no gano por la mafia inglesa ? No me sorprende en absoluto
it's a good video, I totally agree. Jose was the catalyst. But how you make this without referencing Jose switching Ronaldo from a winger to a number 9 is crazy – this is what Mourinho does.
i'm happy that the fifa ballon dor do a good job… great picks… hardworkers… players who put the team first
Prophet Mourinho
Crikey! 🇬🇧🔥 Mourinho’s tactical genius, Kane’s golden glory! Proper class, that! 🏆⚽
Kane taking a goal kick is what sealed the award for him. You never see strikers taking goal kicks any more. And he’s single-handedly brought that back.
5:49 the tweet is interesting cause wouldn’t that be a manager problem not a player problem? If Phil foden needs space but harry is dropping deep, shouldn’t they have chosen a different player to compliment the striker?
Kane does a hell of a lot more than just scoring goals, loads of assists and he's a fantastic creator on the field…
The history is not accurate. Go and watch videos from the time Pochettino coached the team. He was dropping deep then . Jose just made it public.
extremely good analysis well done
It was the investment from the past!
Kane conceded the penalty vs Mexico that was the only time this backfired
goals were enough for Messi in 2012
