Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has defended his decision to move N'Golo Kante out of his preferred holding role, saying he doesn't want the France World Cup winner to play the position.
However, Sarri has called on Kante to understand his responsibilities better after the midfielder struggled during Saturday's 3-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
Asked about Kante's performance and his role this season, Sarri said, per FourFourTwo:
"I think, as you know, I want to play a centre midfielder with a very technical player, so for me the centre midfielder is Jorginho or [Cesc] Fabregas.
