On Saturday, against Manchester City of Pep Guardiola (1-0), Chelsea won the second Champions League in its history. Thanks in particular to a N’Golo Kanté of great evenings.
After winning the World Cup with the France team in 2018, and before approaching Euro 2021 with the Blues, N’Golo Kanté offered himself the best of gifts with the Blues. Thanks to their 1-0 victory against City, with a goal from Kai Havertz at the end of the first period (42nd), Chelsea wrote a page of history. And this chapter, N’Golo Kanté is the main writer. Elected man of the match in this final by UEFA, the French international had already received this award during the two semi-final matches against Real Madrid. Proof that Kanté is the X Factor at the end of the season at Chelsea. For Kévin Diaz, the 30-year-old midfielder therefore deserves the Ballon d’Or.
“He is currently the best player on the planet”
“Kanté is currently the best player on the planet, he deserves the Ballon d’Or! It is not the player who is going to do a sombrero, it is not the player who is going to strike from 30 yards. But it is the player who brings the greatest added value to his team. And that’s why I’m claiming the Ballon d’Or for him. Not so that he has an individual reward, but so that the children claim Kanté’s jersey, and not that of number 9 or number 10. Children should take Kanté as an example. Iniesta, Ramos, Xavi, they would have deserved to win the Ballon d’Or, like Kanté. Because without them, the team cannot function. It’s fresh. He talks about effort. This is high level football. That young players stop looking at Neymar and Mbappé, that they look at players like Kanté or Giroud, who work and who are humble! “, launched, in theAfter Foot, the RMC consultant, who hopes that Kanté will be rewarded at the end of the year by France Football. For this, a victory for the Blues at the Euro, the trophy missing from the world champion’s record, would be a real plus for the former Caen player.
