Spanish star Cesc Fabregas, coach of the Italian team Como, praised his former teammate N'Golo Kante, the star of the Saudi Al-Ittihad team, speaking about the period they spent together at Chelsea, and confirming that the French midfielder is considered one of the most complete players in the history of his position.

Fabregas said that Kante is often seen as an outstanding defensive midfielder in ball recovery, which is a correct description, but it does not reflect all his abilities on the field. He explained that Kante has a high ability to retain the ball, run with it, break lines, in addition to the quality of his passing, which are aspects not always fully appreciated due to his calm playing style.

Fabregas added that playing alongside Kante gives any player a great sense of safety and confidence, due to his ability to intercept balls, read passes, and recover them quickly, pointing out that his true impact may only be clear to those who have played beside him, although fans' awareness of his value has increased in recent years.

The Spanish international concluded his talk by emphasizing that modern football relies heavily on reputation, which has been unfair to Kante in some respects. He considered him one of the best players he has played with, and a player who would receive an immediate welcome in any team by the best stars in the world without hesitation.
