N’Golo Kante says he enjoyed the challenge of adapting to a new midfield role under Maurizio Sarri, and says he liked playing in his new position.
As Sarri implemented his 4-3-3 system at Chelsea with summer signing Jorginho occupying the deeper role, some sections of the Blues’ support were annoyed to see Kante shifted into a more advanced role.
It remains to be seen what sort of role he will be assigned under new boss Frank Lampard, but the 2018 World Cup winner might now be a better player for the experience of the last campaign.
