He is everything you need in a midfielder – Tuchel hails Kante

Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel in his recent statement, was full of applause for the Blues midfielder and France international N’Golo Kante.

Recall that Kante has been away from the Blues squad following an injury he sustained during their 1-1 draw against Liverpool.

Since then, the French midfielder had gone on to miss two matches until Sunday evening when he came in from the bench during the game against Tottenham Hotspur.

The game started with Chelsea giving an underwhelming performance except for Thiago Silva and Kepa Arrizabalaga, who gave their best.

In the second half, Tuchel brought in Kante who he replaced with Mason Mount.

The game changed immediately; the French star came in and Silva went on to score an opener before Kante added a second, then Antonio Rudiger added a third goal.

Tuchel, in his post-match statement, described Kante as what every coach needed in a midfielder.

He stressed that the momentum completely shifted after Kante’s introduction. “If you have N’Golo, you have something that everybody is looking for,” added Tuchel in his press conference.

Following their recent win vs the Hotspurs, Chelsea remain at the top of the league table alongside Liverpool and Man Utd.
