N’Golo Knate speaks out on his new role under Maurizio Sarri

World Cup winner N’Golo Kante has spoken about the challenge of playing under Maurizio Sarri at Chelsea. After taking charge of the Blues in the summer, the Italian has moved the midfielder into a slightly more advanced position and now Konte speaks out on his new role. "I am enjoying the role," he said when asked about life at Chelsea in a France press conference."It is a new challenge for me. "I try to understand the move and the right players' combinations. I think we are doing well. We need to keep working and keep improving and I think we can enjoy a good season together." Didier Deschamps also opened up about the Chelsea head coach and his decision to play Kante in a different position. "He can also play deeper where he is very useful and very powerful," said the World Cup-winner. "At Chelsea he's in more of a creative role. "With what his coach asks him, and his system, he is brought to play very high. "He has more freedom. He is very comfortable with the ball, so it doesn't cause him any problems. He's always having fun. "Kante also takes it by playing deeper, but he is now in the offensive part, but he still has the quality of cutting out passes and recovering balls. "He is a little more involved in attacks, in the last third or the penultimate pass. This is less frequent when he’s playing in front of the defence."
