Sports BE SINCERE!! Does N’golo Kante Deserves Ballon d’Or This Season?

A N’golo Kante’s superb performance helps Chelsea see off Manchester City for the third consecutive times in a season

The French midfielder was exceptional for making it hard for Guardiola’s men to penetrate.

Having shown an excellent level of football, he’s been awarded the man-of-the-match after 96 minutes of the game.

Aside from the Champions League final, N’golo Kante has hugely impressed this season and he’s arguably the star player Chelsea’s manager, Thomas Tuchel wouldn’t want to toy with.

Did He Deserves Ballon d’Or?

Ronaldo and Messi have been dominant for a decade and there are high chances they’ll be shortlisted again for this 2020/2021 season.

If any player wants to stand a chance of winning Ballon d’Or, these two great footballers should be evaluated first.

Their respective goals involvement is enough reasons to put them through but they’ve not done any significant thing this season.

However, this has been their worst season ever see they are both knocked out at the early stage of the competition without any silverware.

Therefore, N’golo Kante has reached two finals and won the most valuable of them.

He’s not an attacking player which means goal involvement won’t be used to determine his work rate, he would rather be evaluated with interceptions, tackles, completed passes, and more.

Just as Luca Modric in 2018, Ngolo Kante also deserves this year’s Ballon D’Or over Ronaldo and Messi.
