N’Golo Kante is the most fined player at Chelsea as Ruben Loftus Cheek and Callum Hudson Odoi reveals.
Chelsea youngsters Ruben Loftus Cheek and Callum Hudson Odoi have revealed that N’Golo Kante is the most fined player at Chelsea. The French International is one of the modest characters in world football right now but seems he has a problem with timekeeping.
The Blues duo also added that he always comes late to the training and smiles aftermath, and everybody forgives him for that action.
When they were asked the player who always does not turn up on time, Loftus Cheek said “N’Golo!”
“Yeah, N’Golo! You wouldn’t expect it. He’s always late. Always,” said Hudson Odoi.
Loftus Cheek added “He’s not super late. Normally you get places earlier, he’s usually one or two minutes late, or just on time!
“He comes in and smiles and everyone is like: ‘Yeah we forgive you’.”
Chelsea’s star recently made a fan’s dream come true. In a stirring moment after training, Telamsile Dlamini got a chance to meet the World Cup winner through the William Foundation, the national charity working with seriously ill young adults to fulfill uplifting and unforgettable days.
He signed a Chelsea shirt and handed over to Telamsile which came as a total surprise to her.
Telamsile described the moment she visited Chelsea’s training ground:
“That moment I stepped foot on that training section where we were waiting, I can’t believe that I’m here, no, no, it’s not me that is here it’s just,” Diamini said in the emotional clip.
“No way, no way, I’m not here, it’s not me, it’s just not me. But actually, it was me.
“Today was very special because I got to meet my favourite football player, N’Golo Kante.”
Even though it has not been a season fulfilled with joy at Chelsea, N’Golo Kante is putting his team first and wants to deliver the fullest to gain success for his manager and club.
Manager Maurizio Sarri has been deploying Jorginho as the registra role and N’Golo Kante is pushed out of his normal position to play even further high up the pitch. But, the French International reiterated that he has no problem to play anywhere for the club and manager.
“It is something possible [to play Jorginho’s role], but the manager decides,” Kante said at Stamford Bridge. “It’s fine, it’s fine. I like this [more advanced] position. Prefer it? It depends on the game, but I enjoy it. I’m with the manager, and I’m enjoying the way I’m playing now.
“It is a position I used to play when I was in France. I’m enjoying participating more in the offensive positions to change the game. I am enjoying it.”
“Jorginho came this season. He is doing very well. He knows very well the philosophy of the manager. He is very important for us at the club,”
“We are doing well. As a team, we have some difficulty at the moment, but we are all together and no-one’s special. We missed many opportunities to be happy like in the FA Cup and some games in the league.
“We can understand their disappointment in our performances in some moments of the season. I think we all want to get tighter and we will all be together for the final and the rest of the season.” Kante said before taking on Manchester City in the League Cup final.
After getting humiliated by Manchester City in the Premier League, they have put in some good performances over the last few weeks. The Blues were edged by Pep Guardiola’s side on penalties in the finals, but Maurizio Sarri has taken plenty of positives from the game.
Following that heartbreak in Wembley, they beat their arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge and Fulham in the Premier League. The Blues will now play Dynamo Kyiv in the Europa League, and they back to Premier League action against Wolverhampton at Stamford Bridge three days later.
