Gullit says Kante’s new role under Sarri is ‘strange’

Former Chelsea manager and player Ruud Gullit believes that Kante is “not a goal scorer” and shouldn’t have to advance to a more attack-minded role.

Following the inclusion of Jorginho into the Chelsea side, Kante is required by the new manager to advance further up the pitch to allow for a style of football referred to as “Sarri-ball”

Gullit described the France international’s goal against Huddersfield as “more by accident” when speaking to BBC Sport saying that he preferred him in the holding role he played for his country:

“Jorginho is the man Sarri has brought with him from Napoli to channel Chelsea’s play through.

“He was heavily involved at St James’ Park [against Newcastle] but, in a game like this, that is an easier job to do, popping the ball around without being pressed.

“Generally in England, though, he will be asked to play at a higher pace and make quicker decisions.

“You do not get any chance of easy build-up like you would in Italy. So far he has been OK, but let us see how it goes for the rest of the season.

“One of the knock-on effects of Jorginho coming in is N’Golo Kante’s move into a more advanced role.

“It is a little bit strange. He is not a goalscorer. He has got one this season, but it was more by accident.

“He is a world champion and I like him more in the holding role he played for France.”
