Without Kante, No Top 4 For Chelsea – Tuchel

Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel has come out to say that N’Golo Kante is the club’s Mohamed Salah, Kylian Mbappe and Virgil van Dijk. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, the fact is that it would have been a miracle for the Blues to finish in the top four of the Premier League without the France star, so he needs to be appreciated more.

Tuchel added that the Frenchman is definitely a key player for the club, and he always has to be on the pitch.

His words, “I think he is our key, key, key player but key, key, key players need to be on the pitch,”

“He plays only 40 per cent of the games then it is maybe a miracle that we arrive in third place.”

“He is our Mo Salah, he is our Van Dijk, he is our De Bruyne. He is simply that player, he is our Neymar and Kylian Mbappe. He is that guy who makes the difference and if you only have him for 40 per cent, then it is a huge problem.”

“Giving that percentage it is maybe a miracle that he produces results. It puts everything into perspective as I saw Liverpool without Van Dijk last season and they struggled heavily. You see the difference. N’Golo is our key player and we need him on the pitch.”
