Who had already heard criticisms about N'Golo Kanté? Not very big as the small French midfielder has attracted membership in England since he arrived in Leicester in 2015. And yet, he was recently the subject of controversy across the Channel, after the defeat of Chelsea on the lawn of Tottenham. There is nothing infamous to lose against the Spurs, but the performance of Kanté and especially his positioning have been talking.
Installed a notch higher than the previous seasons, in relay, he left his place of sentry to the summer rookie demanded by Maurizio Sarri, Jorginho. The English consultants did not fail to criticize Sarri on his use of Kanté, which was nevertheless considered effective until this dry defeat (3-1). The Italian coach even inspired the national coach Didier Deschamps, who had also installed Kante relayer during the last Netherlands-France, without success either.
Sarri changes his mind about using Kanté
Asked about the subject in a press conference on the eve of Chelsea-PAOK Thessaloniki in Europa League, the former coach of Naples delivered contradictory words about the French environment. "I do not want Kanté in this position (too high on the ground, ed). In the last game, he wanted to solve everything alone after only 15 minutes of play, but in the wrong way. He lost his position, he attacked too much around the opponent's surface. And I think it's not one of his best features. It was only a reaction to the difficulties. "
Sarri seems to retreat on his own arguments. And he continued. "Kanté must stay close to Jorginho, especially when the ball is in the other side. It depends on the action. If the ball is on the left, we have Alonso, Hazard, Kovacic and Barkley, so in this situation he must stay close to Jorginho. " N'Golo Kanté will obviously move back a notch in the next meetings. This will delight his worshipers and calm the English consultants.
