BREAKING NEWS:”I hope all players can learn this” “It keeps me moving” — N’Golo Kante finally discloses ‘one significant’ lesson he learned at Chelsea throughout his seven years at Stamford Bridge.

N’Golo Kante is widely regarded as one of the greatest defensive midfielders in football history, and arguably the best box-to-box midfielder of his generation.

Even at the age of 33, after a season in Saudi Arabia, Kante continues to perform at a high level, as demonstrated by his successful stint with the French national team during the Euros.

Kante spent seven years at Chelsea from 2016 to 2023, a period he credits with enhancing his offensive skills. Initially a box-to-box midfielder, Kante transitioned into a specialist defensive role during his time at Leicester City.

When asked about his more offensive responsibilities with the French team, Kante emphasized the importance of timing.

He explained, “You have to know how to do it at the right time,” reflecting on the lessons he learned at Chelsea. He highlighted that maturity and sensitivity play key roles in making effective offensive contributions for France.

Kante added, “The main thing is complementarity. Sometimes it’s another environment that will have to be covered, sometimes it will be up to me to go there, but knowing how to do it well when you can.” This insight underscores his understanding of the balance required between defensive duties and making timely offensive moves, a skill he honed during his Chelsea tenure.
