If you don’t like N’Golo, you don’t like football. He’s like a guy you wanna hug and take care of. Just look at that damn smile. He’s so humble and nice.
5:33 NGL, the story that ends with "...He didn't know what to get me, because he had never been invited to a birthday party" choked me up a bit. What a humble and beautiful soul. I hope all the sadness in his life is behind him.
N’golo Kante is one of the most beloved players on the planet. Kanté cites Lassana Diarra and Claude Makélélé, with whom he is often compared, as inspirations but insists he has his own style and approach towards the game He's won Europa League, Champions League, World Cup, EPL and much more, and he's still more humble than guys that have less than half of that
@@dusanterzin8139 at the same time have you really ever watched his matches. No, didnt think so since he never really got many notable caps with germany
Kante was such an important part of the Leicester EPL win... Any team with Kante effectively has an extra 12th player on the field. Legendary stamina and relentless attitude.
Two years out of the French national team he is back again winning player of the match awards at the euros. What a player, best example to all aspiring footballers
Kante this Euros was very underrated. He was the X-factor behind France's good defensive performances, he was the reason why an underperforming France was relavant this campaign. Top European clubs can still build the team around him, he hasn't lost it.
He can definitely play in Europe but can his body hold up? His playstyle is so all in that it's almost impossible to keep that up in a european league.
"literally" everything implies he deserves to be eaten by a bear, be in a plane crash, get the big C, etc - why would you wish those things on Kante? He seems like a great dude.
N'golo Kante is such a special guy. As a Chelsea fan, he's been our most remarkable signing along with Drogba and Hazard. Dude bossed every midfield in the 2021 UCL. He doesn't get nearly enough praise for what he does on the pitch. If Bellingham did even half of what Kante did, he'd win the Ballon D'or.
Another case of perception being more important than reality. Kante is a WAY BETTER player than Bellingham. But Bellingham is British, young, and multiracial. Kante doesnt have any of that going for him. Kante is worth about 4 Bellinghams on any team.
This here is a player that would rather die on the pitch, giving you 100% more than disappointing the fans for making the trip to come see him play. Respect to a legend. ❤
Great analogy. The last time I heard about more than 2 human lungs in football was 1980. The young Maradona thought Hans-Peter Briegel the German player who man-marked him had 3 lungs !
Ngolo Kante is a generation talent that wasnt see by any scout, by any youtuber, literally by nobody even in era of social media. He didnt have Nike to spoil him like Estevao, Endrick etc. He didnt have money to do test in big club youth academy like Barca, Madrid, MU, Liverpool, Inter, Milan etc.
he's a better human being than he is a footballer, if that makes sense. his ability as an athlete is already out of this world but watching, reading stories abt how good he is as a person, i just feel like slapped by how humble, kind & grateful he is. even i don't have that kind of attitude & I'm not even half of a human being he is. will there be the "next kante" in the future? who knows. i hope he wins the euros & win the player of the tournament award this time around because he really deserves every award that he missed & i hope he earns it this time
I'm loving your videos - I don't know a lot about football, so it's awesome to be able to catch up on some history! One suggestion: if you could slow down a little, and show a little more of the playing footage, it would let the viewer take in the great writing and storytelling here.
I love this man. His decision making is suspect sometimes but it's so hard to tell because if he sends an errant pass he immediately goes & gets the ball back and makes a brilliant one. Dude found the fountain of youth and been sippin' ever since. Wish he was playing elsewhere.
You kinda forgot he was plagued by injuries in his last season at Chelsea, that’s why he went to Saudi. Not much fountain of youth to sip from anymore :(
N'Golo Kante boss is for sure would be a lifetime cult hero to be overlooked at times but he is a livewire in defensive midfielder at every footballing clubs where he played and obviously,a future legend in years to come,good friends!!!LONG LIVE,N'GOLO KANTE BOSS!!!🏋🏻♂️
People see Kante moving to Ittihad as a career killer. But if you look at it from the eyes of the humble Kante, he gets to visit Mecca and Medina when he wishes and that is a greater success than playing in Europes top clubs.
@@cyil9962he left Chelsea to play ez mode league because he was plagued by injuries in his last season. Yes, he has a lot of stamina compared to other players, but majority of these players had a season of 40+ games in tier1 leagues, they weren’t strolling 30 games on Saudi easy mode
@@liphatbass5985 don't get me wrong, Kante is good, but its not truly commendable that he is more fit than euroleague players. And you perfectly know that majority of the players who went to Saudi were in decline already
I love your videos man, no one else makes them as informative and as well as you. It’s hard to not get emotional for some of these amazing stories. I wish you all the best in life, and good health to you, your family, and your friends.
He's every manager's dream. High work rate, high discipline, never lets his ego get in the way and gives it his all every single game. Even if he wasn't literally one of the best DMs in the world he would still be loved by every manager he played under.
Had to fight back tears the whole video. He’s @ the pantheon of great to play in England. And for sure to play for Chelsea. What a joy it was to remember, everyday, watching Chelsea. That my club… had N’Golo Kanté.
Kante deserves way more praise, yet it seems like he is exactly the kind of person to not want it or need it. Top character, class, discipline, and an otherworldly work rate... A total team player. He's the perfect antithesis to the modern "flash" footballer.
i cant forget that one game where Kante passed the ball to Kante (Himself). The dude is everywhere. Even Hazard once said that it feels like he is playing with multiple kantes in the same pitch!! i so love Kante and i miss him as a Chelsea fan.
Wish I was a fan of him before he played at Chelsea but by God he is one of if not my favorite players of all time. And I have no doubt a wholesome and humble person like him will still have a huge positive impact on many off the pitch for decades to come
@@angelosam505 i don't think so. First because the stadiums are mostly empty, there's not many home fans, and secondly because they would probably agree with me. The top teams are okay to watch but the midtable and under are just dreadfully boring. I tried to watch a game a few months ago and it was worst than france third tier which isn't even professional. It's just one game of course, but still
Kante was so good for us at Chelsea, I like him so much. He’s so nice. So glad he made a comeback and is showing his class at the Euros. Never knew he was an accountant 😂
Always loved Kante both as a footballer and as a person, genuinely a great human being and an absolute beast in his prime. Great video as always. Btw what is the background music, it's really nice
I leave there some recomendations for future videos. 1. Juan Carlos Valeron: the hero of David Silva, the man who Arrigo Sachi compared to Zidane. 2. Guti: very underrated player, hero of Kvicha Kvaratshkelia and absolute class in passing. 3. Petr Čech: the man, the myth, the legend. Buffon told that he is the best goalie. And Imagine if he hasn't have the injury. Back than he was much more pro-active.
If this man got his own football documentary channel on British tv he would be the most popular man in the country, his accent the way he says things and effort he puts in is unreal….. Sooo listen to this😂
You should've added the amazing part since you mentioned it several times where he actually was forced to buy a car and he went to buy a cheap mini which he accidentally crashed and repaired it with duct tape. There's videos of him driving up to Stamford bridge in it.
Kante is special. He is the most consistent, hard-working professional footballer I have ever seen. I have never seen him had a bad game even if his team loses
Kind of reminds me of ji sung park. He almost became an accountant if he didn't make it in football. And look what happened, it turned out to be that he was the most decorated asian footballer. But now, we look at kante. Brillant. Covered the whole field, unlimited energy, and a unforgettable smile. No one will forget his legendary run in the prem with the 2016 lecesiter city.
What makes Kante so special is his profile is so tactically desired by anyone who pays genuine attention to his play so no matter what is happening in his career people always want to find a way to get him in their squad. For example his France spot under Deschamps still seems untouchable despite playing for Al-Ittihad.
I haven't seen any player since J.S Park who leaves it all on the pitch and is a 100% team player. No need for recognition, just playing for the love of it. Awesome player, great video too 👍
He spent a year in Saudi for retirement, but his level didnt decrease at all. He was still carrying France. Even with midfield engine Tchouameni and Camavinga which are our pride as Madridista, he is not worse than any of them either. Isnt he supposed to be old now?Insane.
@@exelmans8855 I dont argue about football with a Barka **** who cant even see Tchuoameni and Camavinga’s imperious defensive works. Just Go watch baseball or something.
Biggest mistake by Leicester City was to let him go and keep Mahrez instead. He was a reason LC won, but as always with hard workers - they are underappreciated. He won with Chelsea the same trophy the next year. From LC fan I became a Kante fan.
After beating Argentina in 2018 World Cup, there was a French song about him : "N'Golo Kante / Il est petit / Il est gentil / Il a bouffé Lionel Messi" = ""N'Golo Kante / He is tiny / He acts kindly / He has eaten Lionel Messi"
I will never get tired of Kante being appreciated and cheered!
Real
Never get "tired" is just like kanté in a game!
neither him gets tired

Could not agree more. Been saying this for years. Kante on form was an extra man on the pitch
Ngolo Kante one of the greatest midfielders of all time and always smiling. LEGEND
Always smiling is Leao, he manages to run while laughing

He can definitely play in Europe but can his body hold up? His playstyle is so all in that it's almost impossible to keep that up in a european league.
A Leicester legend after only one year 🔥
one of the most underrated footballer of all time
Kante is that player that even if he drops an absolute worldie, he still remains shy and humble. They will never be a player like Kante.

Class is permanent
His humility is something else. Raw strength, with pace and power with techniques. Fan favorite. Love seeing him appreciated.
