N’Golo Kanté talks about the Ballon d’Or

–

Passing before his Chelsea teammate Olivier Giroud (34) by the traditional press conference organized by videoconference this Sunday, N’Golo Kanté (30) was eagerly awaited on one subject: the Ballon d’Or. The midfielder of the Blues and Blues is indeed cited among the potential winners of the 2021 edition in view of his remarkable performances, especially in the Champions League this season. Didier Deschamps even recently estimated that the former Caen or Leicester player would deserve to win the Ballon d’Or. N’Golo Kanté, without much surprise, wished him to take a step back in this regard.

“I live it with a lot of distance. We had a great end to the season to play with Chelsea. I do not pay much attention to what is said and I focus on the goals of the club and the selection ”, he said at first, before continuing a little later. “We arrived in the middle of the year. It’s a bit early to talk about it now. It’s not necessary to say that I deserve it today because there is still a lot of time and games to play. First 10 a few years ago. Winning it is another story. Great individual reward for the players; I see it as the result of a season for the players; It doesn’t have to be a goal or something I’m working on. “
