Most dominant display from a player I've seen in a while. Absolutely everywhere
This. He was everywhere.Can't think of anyone who does what he does better. I swear he can teleport.
Fred can't rapIsn’t Fred meant to be better than Kanye?
I even corrected it once…Fred can't rap
Is there another professional athlete with as universal an approval rating? Not trying to WUM or anything but I cannot for the life of me think of another player in any sport who is as beloved (and for good reason obviously).

Like I heard rudiger once say. You can't hate ngolo. If you do. There's something wrong with you. Ngolo kante is a gem.Is there another professional athlete with as universal an approval rating?

This isn't a Chelsea side that elicits much emotion either way, is it? From a neutral's perspective that is.What a player. And the thing is, you just cannot dislike him even if he plays for a team of twats
Juan Mata is a good shout tooIs there another professional athlete with as universal an approval rating? Not trying to WUM or anything but I cannot for the life of me think of another player in any sport who is as beloved (and for good reason obviously).
Yeah Rashford is a good shout, though I think he might suffer due to some of the toxicity and tribalism around the England squad though - and to be completely fair I don't speak French so if similar dialogues have taken place over Kante then I've completely missed them.Rashford.
to be fair, I don’t think he’s beloved. He’s acknowledged as a top player by fans of all clubs of course.
Oh great shout and completely agreed. Mata is an absolute gem - hard to be a better person than he is/was a footballer but think he managed it.Juan Mata is a good shout too
I've never heard anyone in all of my years of following footy say a bad word about Zidane (as a player).Is there another professional athlete with as universal an approval rating?

Zola was probably the obvious one previously. I think Ngolo might be even nicer though!Is there another professional athlete with as universal an approval rating?

Except Materazzi!I've never heard anyone in all of my years of following footy say a bad word about Zidane (as a player).
I've veered into the Zidane manager thread, so that's all I'll say about that!
Yeah, his reading of these situations is outstanding, like for that late goal today. He's tenacious and athletic, but a lot of his ability to win balls is about timing and skill.The turnover in football is vital, and Kante is the player you want in your side to make it happen. He nicks balls away in high areas of the pitch and you're under the cosh. Just a brilliant player.
Yeah 100%. His ability to win the ball cleanly and avoid fouls is second to none - especially when he's unleashed up the pitch and can press seemingly out of nowhere. Caused Madrid (and Kroos in particular) all kinds of problems today by haring after any and all midfielders in his zone as soon as they received the ball.Yeah, his reading of these situation is outstanding, like for that late goal today.

Didn't he come from an incredibly poor background, I remember reading somewhere he sifted through dumps and rubbish looking for things he could sell to help his family? Probably values money more than most.
A lot of players drive those to be fair. The funniest has to be De Gea, I have no idea how he fits into one, it really looks like a classic clown car trick.
It wasn’t about our offer to Leicester, sadly, for whatever reason he had his eyes set on Chelsea and haven’t even considered other options. He said that United contacted him iirc.The one that got away.
We should have emptied the bank for him from Leicester. For some reason he’s a Chelsea fan though.
