Domenech: Chelsea and France are not the same without Kante

Former France National Team Boss, Raymond Domenech has lavished praises on Chelsea and France midfielder, N'Golo Kante. The outspoken coach described Kante as the most important player in Chelsea's first team and French national team.


“You can see there are two French national teams. There’s one when he is playing and one where he’s not,” Domenech told Goal. “You don’t see him in the game but if you look out for him, then you notice all the work he does for the other players.

"He’s the symbol. He makes the others better. If I go to a huge club then the first player I sign is him.

"I think Didier Deschamps knows what happens with and without Kante, he will build his team around him. The same for Chelsea, the same for Leicester City"

N'Golo Kante was named the Football Writers Association footballer of the year last season.
