Conte: I want more players like Kante at Chelsea
Antonio Conte said in a press conference he admires N'Golo Kante and desires to have more players like him.
N'Golo Kante joined Chelsea this summer from Leicester City for €35 million. He's played so far every minute of Premier League games and his coach is very happy with him.
"I think one Kante is enough. These types of players who put themselves before the team, I like them a lot. I want these types of players," Conte said.
"You can see that N'Golo has fantastic stamina and can cover a lot of ground. It is very important when you play offensive football to have a player that can work very well to recover the ball and win the ball," he hailed his player.
"He has a good metabolic system and is very good in this aspect. He is brave, he is a brave man and he has great quality.
"He is a fantastic player. He can play with three in midfield and with two in midfield and at Leicester last season he played with Danny Drinkwater and against Hull City he played with Nemanja Matic. In other games, he played with Matic and Oscar or Matic and Cesc Fabregas, but I think he can play in both midfields," he said.
