N’Golo Kante rises with achievements and is down to earth because of being humble by practicing the teachings of Islam he adheres to.
As an anchor midfielder, Kante is one of the best midfielders in the world today. Kante’s expertise roamed the field and cut off the opponent’s attack so the key to Chelsea’s success was winning the Premier League and France being the 2018 World Cup champions.
One of the compliments about the greatness of Kante is sweetly portrayed by former Leicester City coach Claudio Ranieri.
“The presence of N’Golo Kante on the team makes us have 12 players. We managed to do it and the referee can never calculate correctly how many of our players are on the field,” Ranieri was quoted as saying by the Daily Star.
Since skyrocketing after delivering Leicester City English Premier League champions, Kante has never shown a drastic change in attitude as a star.
Kante even still in a relationship with coach JS Suresnes, the club where Kante began his career as a junior player. Kante remains a friendly and down to earth person.
One example is the figure of Kante who is more often caught on camera indulging in a smile. Many people even believe that Kante’s smile expression is the only expression that Kante has because he is never angry.
“We are lucky to be able to play football to support ourselves. For me, that is what I really want to do. To be able to reach this level, of course, a blessing from God.”
“Millions of people out there want to have the opportunity to do the work as we do. That is the reason I try to be maximal at every opportunity,” said Kante quoted from Mirror.
Kante is not only friendly as a soccer player on the gridiron because he shows it in everyday life. Kante was invited to take pictures with Arsenal fans and supporters of ‘The Gunners’ admitted disappointed to lose to Chelsea.
Kante responded and this by apologizing for the defeat suffered by Arsenal.
Kante also refused to falsify income statements for smaller tax expenses.
“I’m not really following the story, but I’m not surprised because he is N’Golo Kante. He is perfect and never cheats, except when playing uno cards,” said Kante teammate in the French national team, Blaise Matuidi.
The most unique story from Kante about humility certainly is when he missed the train to Paris after defending Chelsea against Cardiff City. Kante then went to the mosque and met an Arsenal fan named Badlur Rahman Jalil.
Badlur invited Kante to visit his house. Badlur initially thought Kante would politely refuse but apparently Kante was willing to visit his house.
“The norm is in Islam, which is inviting guests to the house for dinner, so I invited him. My brother and I along with Kante played video games and he defeated us.”
“Then we watched the ‘Match of the Day’ program. What a beautiful night,” Badlur said as quoted by Talksport.
