Parallel universe? Terzic: Sancho can still win the Ballon d Or as long as he keeps smiling

The British media "Daily Telegraph" interviewed former Dortmund coach Terzic and talked about many high-value players he had worked with. Regarding Sancho, Terzic said "he still has a chance to win the Ballon d'Or."

Terzic worked with Rice when he was an assistant coach at West Ham United, and later coached stars such as Bellingham, Sancho, Haaland, and Isaac at Dortmund. These players later generated high transfer fees.

In this regard, Terzic said: "These players have the ability to win the Ballon d'Or in the future, including Jaden (Sancho). In terms of talent, if you talk about Jaden, you might have looked at Dembele the same way five years ago, and I mean talent and potential.

"The difference is: Erling (Haaland) can reach this height as long as he remains hungry; Jaden can only reach the peak by keeping a smile; and Zude (Bellingham) needs both.

"I really admire Zude. He and Rice will become the core figures of English football in the next ten years. They have leadership, and Zude has the ability to provide solutions at the highest level and make the teammates around him better. This is what makes him extraordinary."
