Indispensable to the France team and still decisive with Chelsea, N’Golo Kanté rarely shows up in the media. This Tuesday, the tricolor medium indulged in some indiscretions during an interview granted to the site of the FFF.
“Even if I started football late, at 10, I played a lot with my friends. We watched a video of Ronaldo or Ronaldinho and we tried to reproduce the same thing on the pitch, revealed the darling of the French public. . As spectators, we liked to see the players who put on a show. Maybe not a player like me today (laughs)! A little more creative players and scorers. “
Giroud and Zouma, his sure guys from London
With a large contingent of French players in the Premier League, N’Golo Kanté often crosses paths with his compatriots across the Channel when he wears the Chelsea jersey. It’s a little less true off the pitch even if the 29-year-old midfielder explains spending time with some Blues.
“[Le Bleu que vous voyez le plus à Londres?] Kurt Zouma and Olivier Giroud, again indicated the relay of the Blues. It can happen that we find ourselves outside the club but it is rare because we already see each other every day in training. “
Kanté, who says he spends a lot of time at home rather than in London, then confessed to not liking to face relatives: “I do not like meeting the players I know or friends.”
Kanté could have played rugby
From a more personal point of view, N’Golo Kanté readily admits having flaws. Since the 2018 World Cup, we already know that he cheats at cards and does not like losing… But the world champion assures us that he does not like to shine.
“We will say that it is my fault: I do not know how to talk about myself or my relatives,” said the former Caen and Leicester.
In terms of qualities, N’Golo Kanté is often tough and totally devoted to helping his team. Assets that he could have put at the service of the oval if he had not joined the Suresnes football club at the age of 10.
“We had played a basketball and rugby tournament, I was doing quite a bit in the contacts and my teacher advised my family to register for the sport, again told the international to the 44 selections. I was hesitating between the rugby and football. I chose football. ” So much the better for the Blues and the supporters who have thus found a superb mascot and a huge player.
