Former midfielder Real Madrid and Chelsea Claude Makelele shared his opinion about his compatriot Ngolo Kante.

Since moving to Chelsea, the 26-year-old Kante has become one of the key players in the Antonio Conte team, helped Blue to win the championship in England, and was also recognized by football journalists as the best player of the year in the Premier League.

Nevertheless, according to compatriot Ngolo and former Chelsea player Claude Makelele, Kante still has much to prove.

"At the moment, Kante is a special player, one of the best midfielders in the world," Claude said..

"The problem is that I played at a high level for 25 years, but when I'm compared to Ngolo, these comparisons are usually not in my favor".

"This season he did not play in the Champions League, when every four days you have a match.

Also here will be added speeches for the national team. There will be a lot of games, and he needs to gain experience ".

"At this level, he will not be able to run all 90 minutes in every match. He will need to catch his own rhythm - that's what will become the key. I hope he can do it, and his career will be even better than mine, "concludes Makelele.

In the completed drawing of the Premier League, Kant played 35 fights, having scored the 1st goal and the 1st assists.
