Everyone has the characteristics to play in this football philosophy, more important than those who play is the philosophy: we want the ball, find the spaces, move forward. Who is on the pitch trying to continue with that game philosophy “.

Stretcher like Kanté? “They resemble each other in terms of characteristics. They have physical power, they run for everyone, for 120 ‘, they cover a lot of the field. I must say that they give me a big hand in midfield on recovering balls. I think Nico looks a lot like Kanté”.
