Former Chelsea idol, Claude Makelele has revealed his
admiration for N'Golo Kante, while warning that the current Blues enforcer has
some way to go before he can reach his level.
Kante enjoyed a spectacular
debut season at Stamford Bridge, starring in the Chelsea midfield as Antonio
Conte's men waltzed to the Premier League title.
It was the Frenchman's second
title in as many years, having also manned the engine room for Leicester City's
unforgettable campaign in 2015-16.
According to Makelele, however,
the real test of his mettle will come next season with Chelsea adding the
Champions League to their calendar. “At the moment Kante is special
and one of the best midfielders," the ex-Blues and Real Madrid midfielder
told reporters in Addis Ababa.

“The problem is, I played 25
years in football at this level and comparisons are being made in a bad way. This
season he did not play in the Champions League. Every four days there will be
games.
“With the national team, there
will be games. There will be a lot of games. He needs to get that experience.
“When he is at that level, he
will not run 90 minutes all the time. He will need to listen to the rhythm, the
way he plays. This will be key for him. I hope this will be the situation. I
hope he does better than I did in my career.”
