Kante – the key reason for Leicester City’s success!

The French midfielder N’Golo Kante is among the team’s key players this season. 25-year-old player has appeared in 30 of 31 matches so far. He has scored only 1 goal, but his role is not scoring goals. He plays as a defensive midfielder, but also likes organizing team’s attacks.

The first time Kante made a big impression was when he played for Caen. In 2014 he won a promotion for The Ligue 1 with the team. Then, he was a key part of the first team and Leicester City paid €8 m. for The Frenchman.

The biggest strength in the playing style of Kante is regaining the ball. He is the football player with the best stat for stealing the ball.

N’Golo Kante has recently made his debut for the French national team. He scored his first goal for France in the friendly against Russia (4-2) a couple of days ago.

Let’s see deeply what are the main strengths of Kante. His tackling is world class. The midfielder is very good at passing through balls. In addition, the Frenchman is great dribbler. He can take the ball from his own half and can dribble with it a very long distance. And maybe Kante’s best quality is the ball interception (he is in 1st place in The Premier League for intercepted balls).

N’Golo Kante’s only weakness is the area duels, but that’s because of his height (1,69 m.). However, the Frenchman is a complete footballer and seems to be ready for the biggest football stage.

The midfielder scored a really important goal for Leicester City against Watford. His team won the match 2-1 and gained another 3 points. In addition, Kante has made 3 assists in The Premier League, so he has a great vision and passing skills. N’Golo has become the Man of the Match on 3 occasions this season.

25-year-old midfielder is one of the reasons for the magnificent Leicester City’s performance in The Premier League. The truth is that Claudio Ranieri has assembled a really good team, with players who have adjusted to each other.

However, it will be really difficult for Leicester City’s owners keep their key players in the squad for the next season. Especially, Jamie Vardy, Riyad Mahrez and N’Golo Kante will be wanted by many clubs.

To conclude; Kante is a great football player. He is a hard-worker. He is energetic and fast. He can intercept the ball and then dribble with it. For sure, you will remember his name!
