Kahn on the third generation of football kings The only candidate to replace Maradona has emerged
According to German football legend Kahn, there have not been three great players in world football since Maradona. While the likes of Messi, Ronaldo and Zidane are still top stars, Kahn believes Bellingham, who is now only 20 years old, can replace Maradona. He believes that while there are advantages to young people, the risk of injury also needs to be considered, and hopefully Bellingham will not be injured by serious injuries like Kaka.
Kahn believes Bellingham is more like Frank Lampard than Kidane and more like Kaka. He praised Bellingham's excellent defensive qualities and insisted he would never be the kind of slacker who would drop back. Kahn has already set targets opposite to Bellingham's pursuit of Frank Lampard, and he is not so desperate to win the Ballon d'Or, a title that can sometimes be overblown. He took Messi and Ronaldo as examples, won the Ballon d'Or at the age of the year, and maintained his highest level for several years in a row, Bellingham does not have this strength at present.
Kahn believes that an athlete's success depends on the cooperation of the team, the team and the team, and the team and the coach. He wished Bellingham victory, but he also pointed out that it would be difficult for the Englishman to be consistent once he reached the top. He expressed concern about England's talents a few years ago and said he didn't want Bellingham to follow in his footsteps.
Now, Bellingham is not as tall as Zinedine Zidane. Kahn believes he also has some shortcomings, such as a fear of the dark, being too tough and not passing the ball fluently enough, so he is more like an active Real Madrid team. He insisted that it was too early to make him Maradona's successor. Kahn specifically states that this article is original and rejects any form of plagiarism.
