(Reuters) – Chelsea midfielder, Golo Kante, will not be downgraded to his privileged position in the middle of the field, this role being more suited to technical players such as Jorginho and Cesc Fabregas, according to the manager. club, Maurizio Sarri.

Kante has become a leading midfielder in recent seasons, winning two consecutive Premier League titles with Leicester City and Chelsea, while helping France to win the World Cup, but Sarri said he had to adapt to an advanced role.

"I want to play against a central midfielder who is a very technical player, so for me it's Jorginho or Fabregas, I do not want Kante in that position," Sarri told reporters before the shock of the Europa League with the Greek club PAOK Thessaloniki.

Chelsea take the lead after a 3-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur, their first loss of the season, as Kante and Jorginho tried to influence the game.

The result saw Chelsea fall to fourth place and Sarri criticized the performance of 27-year-old Kante.

"Kante, in the last game, wanted to solve the game after the first 15 minutes, but in the wrong way, he lost the position, he attacked too much," said Sarri.

"This one is not one of the best features of Kante, but it was only in response to the difficulties." It may be only a matter of time but Kante must stay close to Jorginho, especially when the ball is on the other side. "
