Five reasons why we should all be more like Chelsea star N’Golo Kante

Five reasons why we should all be more like Chelsea star N’Golo Kante
Why can’t everyone be more like N’Golo Kante?Brilliant, happy and humble: the world would just be a better place if it was filled with millions of little Kantes.5

It’s scientifically impossible to dislike N’Golo Kante

Brexit would probably be fine, global warming would sort itself out, and even if it didn’t, we’d all smile through it anyway.Football’s Nicest Man struck again as it was revealed he refuses to have his Chelsea image rights paid through a tax haven. It’s just classic Kante.

N'Golo Kant: tiny, brilliant, unaffected, modest, almost universally admired, and a footballer whose image is *burnished* by a leak. Who wouldn't want him on their side?pic.twitter.com/mPou2onvb6— Nick Harris (@sportingintel) November 15, 2018

Here are five reasons why the quiet Frenchman is an exemplary human being:

He’s really good at football

N’Golo Kante has two Premier League titles and a World Cup to his name

Kante has won more Premier League matches than any other player since he arrived in England. Coincidence? I think not!The 2017 PFA Player of the Year can claim to be one of the greatest defensive midfielders in the world right now.Obviously he wouldn’t though, because that’s not what he’s like.

He was too shy to ask to hold the World Cup

N’Golo Kante shies away from mass attention

Stephen Nzonzi had to urge his French team-mates to let Kante hold the World Cup because he was too shy to ask.So often elite talent comes with ego, but Kante is selflessly brilliant for the right reasons.

He joined a random Arsenal fan for a night of FIFA and Match of the Day

Back in September, Kante accepted a stranger’s invitation to play FIFA and watch MOTD over a curry with his mates.Kante missed his Eurostar train after Chelsea’s 4-1 victory over Cardiff and instead visited a mosque, where he met Gunners fan Badlur Rahman Jalil.The image of the modern-day footballer has long been one of unapproachable individuals who share little with the people who support them, but not Kante.

He pays his taxes

Football leaks recently revealed the Frenchman’s exemplary tax record

This shouldn’t be something we actively celebrate, but such is the industry. Kante is a shining light in a dark, greedy football world.It’s hardly surprising that the one positive piece to emerge from Football Leaks was about Kante.

He plays with a smile

Nothing can make N’Golo Kante sad

If N’Golo’s happy, I’m happy.When you see that winning smile, your problems suddenly drift away.
