"When asked about my most formidable opponent, I wouldn't hesitate to name N'Golo Kanté."
Midfield clashes are always incredibly tense. It's not just about competition, but also about feeling... suffocated. We don't meet very often, but every time I face Chelsea FC, I almost never have any space to be creative.
What frustrates me isn't that he plays roughly or commits fouls. On the contrary, Kanté is extremely clean.
The problem is he always shows up at the right time, in the right place — as if he can read your mind. And that frustrates you throughout the whole game.”
— Toni Kroos
