Wayne Rooney: “France has the best team player in N’Golo Kanté. He knows how to do everything: press, position himself and play in the intervals, break up opposing actions and project himself into attack.
We also used to see that with Yaya Touré, who won the ball and projected himself offensively, and it was very difficult to defend against him. Kanté does that, but he also protects his defence like Claude Makélélé did. It’s incredible to have two players, Touré and Makélélé, in N’Golo Kanté.
His energy improves the other players. Whenever Kanté goes forward in attack, you often see two or three players accompany him forward without worrying about leaving their position, because they know that if the ball is lost, N’Golo Kanté will come and collect it. For me, he is one of the best midfielders in the world.” ❤️
