"When you pass Canté, there is always another Canté waiting for you."

"He is so humble, he even had a little bit of fun after scoring At a loss..."

Unconsciously, the Premier League has been suspended for more than a month, and N'Golo Kante, who has rarely been exposed off the field, seems to have disappeared even more. He does not have a Twitch account and does not play live broadcasts on Instagram. His only activity on social platforms is to use his jersey and sneakers to raise funds for the foundation's charity activities.

However, in such silence, the French midfielder, who was priced at 80 million euros in the "German transfer market" (the highest in the Chelsea team), triggered the most recent controversy. Topical transfer rumors. According to "Team Daily", due to frequent injuries and low attendance rate in the past two years, Chelsea has planned to put a price tag of 70 million euros on Cantey and put him on the shelf. There are rumors that the four major clubs including Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona are potential bidders.

According to "Goal", Kante, who holds the highest weekly salary in the Blues (290,000 pounds), is still willing to stay in West London. All situations are determined by the club's attitude.

As we all know, Chelsea, whose business philosophy has turned to balance the books, has long planned to change the administration this summer - starting with the departure of David Luiz and Victor Moses, Pedro, Batshua Yi, Emerson, Giroud, Alonso and Kepa are all likely to change clubs after the season. The "Youth Storm" composed of Abraham, Mason Mount and Hudson-Odoi will become the only main line at Stamford Bridge.

In this context, it is reasonable for Chelsea and Kante to be separated. 29 years old, with more injuries and a slight decline in form. Although his immediate combat ability will definitely help the team, his value that has not been diminished is also Chelsea's current need.

In the 18 league games played this season, Kantey appeared in three-man midfielders and two-man midfielders 9 times each. Lampard often switches between 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1. According to statistics released by "The Athletic", if it appears in a two-person midfield formation, Kantey's presence is obviously stronger: whether it is counter-suppression or steals (data after the opponent touches the ball every 1,000 times), They are about 2 times higher than the data in the three-man midfield.

During the Conte period, Kante became an out-and-out main force at Chelsea and helped the team win the Premier League championship. But with the arrival of Sarri and Lampard, Kante's status in Chelsea has declined.

In the opinion of columnists Tom Worville and Liam Twomey, if you combine the comparative data and activity heat map, Kantey is better than Lampard. Under the three-midfield system, it has not shown a more important role than Jorginho or Kovacic - in terms of steals, interceptions and counter-attacks when the three are combined, he can not even take the lead in any one of them. In other words, if he is only used as a "green leaf" in this midfield match, the Frenchman's destructive power will only be greatly reduced.

In the two-man midfield, Kantey averaged 1.5 chances created per game, 6.4 passes in the offensive third per game, and 3.3 advanced passes per game (divided by passing distance); but when it came to In a three-man midfield configuration, his three statistics are only 1.3 times, 4.9 times and 2.0 times.

Judging from the previous games this season, the personal performances of Jorginho and Kovacic have attracted praise from public opinion. Kanter, who has been a hero in winning championships in the past, has become a "victim" of the system. To make matters worse, the long-term unavoidable injury problem has exacerbated the dilemma faced by the French.

Since even Hazard can be sold, Kantai, who has just stood up in recent years, is not for sale.

How long can his London life last?
