"The Earth is covered by 3/4 of water, left by ... Kante". It was the words that emerged after Kante's brilliant performance helped Leicester surprise the English Premier League title in 2015/16. After more than two years, that clause is still true. If you do not believe, ask Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez!

Certainly, France will not get Messi out of the game and beat Argentina 4-3, and Uruguay did not score in the quarterfinals without Kante on the field. The 1.68m midfielder won the ball, breaking the opponent's attacking footwork with tired feet, clear-cut eyes before the game and a cold head.

Although Argentina or Uruguay have put a lot of pressure on the French defenses, it will never be seen as Kante do this on the pitch: Argue with the referee, lying painfully on the pitch, playing dirty or hit. loss of composure. The nearest referee should call Kante to remind him of the way he played two years ago - in the semi-finals of EURO 2016.

Kante quietly on the pitch and he "let the legs talk". In the 2018 World Cup, Kante and Raphael Varane are two French players who play every minute in five matches. All in all, Kante is France's most active player with 51.6 km / 5 laps. Regardless of his physical appearance, the dashboard was like a wheelbarrow, he still won the most redemption for France with 52 times with just one tackle.

Having Kante on the field, Paul Pogba can be cumbersome without worrying about his back, Kylian Mbappe can focus on creating the global fever with the ball at the right foot of the ball, Antoine Griezmann. and Olivier Giroud can focus on scoring because behind them is a solid wall. Misrepresentation, Kante can fix.

Kante's role has been recognized and praised by his team-mates. Defender Lucas Fernandez was surprised that Kante could appear suddenly anywhere on the pitch. "Kante has 15 lungs," says Pogba. Giroud said: "With Kante, it feels like we played with 12 people on the pitch."

With such a humble person as Kante, so shy as to paralyze his face in front of the camera, the compliments of his teammates were enough to keep him on his toes for the rest of France's 2018 World Cup. .
