There's nobody better at what he does in bayern or dortmund Hans

I tend to disagree Nigel.

>>67696050
Bayern: Vidal, Martinez, Thiago
Dortmund: Weigl, Sahin
>>67696090
I would take kante before all those except maybe martinez
>>67696090
Only vidal plays the same position, he's the only one I'd want playing box to box ahead of kante
>weigl
> doing ANYTHING like kante
Compare him to Bender
>>67695659
Who?
>>67696133
k
>>67696136
S.Bender played mostly as CB in the last season.
>>67696173
Also I really don't understand the comparison with thiago, that faggot can't defend or run to save his life
>>67696205
>that faggot can't defend or run to save his life
statistics would say otherwise
Kante is the greatest tackler I've ever seen. He always gets the ball but never fouls or goes to ground
>>67696090
>Sahin
Has he even played since he left Dortmund the first time
>>67696133
Good thing no one values your opinion.
>>67695659
Can you write their names when you post black players? Pls
Remember that no all countries are used to blacks, and we cannot recognise them with a photo alone. Thank you.
>>67696247
not much
Meanwhile, in the French NT, he'll be benched because muh 4 lungs Matuidi aka the worst football player in the history of this sport
>>67696485
ferme la bouche
>>67696485
If kante is that good he will be a starter if not he will be a supersub.
>>67696519
We're talking about Deschamps, The GUY who has Giroud as a 9 in his starting XI over Griezmann Martial, Ben Arfa, Gameiro and Lacazette
>>67696551
gamerio shouldnt touch the team and everyone else is a manlet that doesnt fit deschamps' system
>>67696554
>gamerio shouldnt touch the team
...
>and everyone else is a manlet that doesnt fit deschamps' system
Yeah you keep spouting memes projecting your insecurities and we'll keep talking about football manuelito
>>67696571
but its true, deschamps wants a tall strong center forward and with no benzema its giroud. martial and griezmann will never play center forward for deschamps
>>67696432
Wes Morgan, didn't you see he wear Leicester kit?
>>67696238
How the fuck does he do it?
He did the More tackles in any european competition and he only got 3 yellow and no red.
>>67696571
He's right about Gameiro, that nigga sucks..

Matuidi is over
Motta literally died of old age
Verratti is permacrock
Rabiot is soft as fuck
Nice midfield you have here
>>67699835
>Lyon fan detected
>>67696551
giroud is better than anyone you listed except griezmann
Reminder that the EL and CL are owned by spanish teams meaning this piece of shit bpl 'elite' player would be a joke in la liga
>>67699783
>PSG
they have literally no depth in their midfield, and they have fucking matuidi starting over pastore
>>67699869
>the EL and CL are owned by spanish teams
quite literally in fact
>>67699853
>>67699898
>Implying u need depth
Xavi, Cesc and Iniesta were better than the million average midfielders Barca have now
>>67699850
Actually a PSG fan.
I love Verratti but I fear a lot how he will come back from his injury.
And you probably didn't watch PSG at all this season. Matuidi is ony the shadow of his past self since around December and Motta is TERRIBLE this season.
I really hope we sign Diarra.
>>67696551
>implying Giroud is bad
Germany plays Gomez upfront and Spain has Alcacer and you complain about Giroud? Giroud is better than Lacazette and Gameiro, even though I like both. If Giroud stayed in Ligue 1, he would have scored 15+ goals every season and no one would have complained.
Hell he scores 15+ goals in the fucking PL and people still complain.
>>67699931
Are you comparing Xavi, Cesc and Iniesta to Matuidi, Rabiot and Stambouli?
>>67700039
Kinda I think Thiago Motta is a very skillful passer and Rabiot Verrati and the others are great midfield players
>>67700156
lol
>>67700030
Lassana Diarra? Lel isnt he Mottas age?
>>67699931
>Cesc
>good
He wouldn't be a top 3 midfielder at current Barcelona
>>67700173
In case you didn't notice players age differently.
Also Motta is 3 years older.
>>67695659
And what, bring them gatorade?
>>67700173
No, and he is way better, more technique and skilled.
the guy cant even pass a ball, hes really not that special
and not to mention top teams dont require scrappy little talentless players like him
>>67702231
>the guy cant even pass a ball, hes really not that special
This. He's elite in 2 things - running and tackling, while being average at best in every other aspect of play.
>>67702008
>that flag
>gatorade
'no'
soccer is a cool sport
>>67702378
What am I supposed to be seeing here? Is 82% pass completion rate supposed to prove that he's a great passer? Because it doesn't prove that at all.
>Except for Barca
Name one defensive midfielder Barca has who's better.
I love soccer. What a game, certain players are just magicians with the ball.
>>67702434
Busquets is 3 times the player Kante is.
>>67702463
remember when matic was considered as a top dm lmao
>>67702474
What's so funny? Kante is 25 years old and he has had 1 good season in his entire career. He's not even in the same stratosphere as Busquets
Kante is not a DM ffs. He's a textbook box to box midfielder. Comparing him to the likes of Busquets is way off the mark.
>>67702559
The kind of skills Kante has displayed is far above anything any defensive midfielder has done in a long time.
>>67696225
>statistics
What is that? Football Manager?
>>67702676
not even that guy
>Kante has displayed is far above anything any defensive midfielder has done in a long time
lol no
>>67702676
Fuck outta here.
>>67702676
lmao, what skills? Running and tackling?
>>67702378
>pass completion rate of a single player
>ever meaning anything ever
>>67702795
Yes
>>67702795
Name one player in the last ten years who can tackle and intercept like Kante can. Protip: you cannot.
>>67702817
Lucas Leiva averaged the same number of tackles per game in 12/13 as Kante did this season.
And Schneiderlin has been close for a few years in a row before moving to United.
>>67702827
next
>>67702827
>Lucas Leiva averaged the same number of tackles per game in 12/13 as Kante did this season.
And he averaged 0.5 tackles more in 10/11.
>>67702856
This so much. Kante is just a vastly inferior version of Arturo Vidal.
Fuck all of you birches Vidal is fucking based.
You want to talk box to box midfielders? Literally Vidal is the best one
Fight me irl
>>67702935
still not good enough to win against the 3rd best team in spain
>>67702875
But it's the technique of the tackle. Kante nicks it off the opposition player without going the ground, with his body already already flying up the field setting off a counter by the time "I've been Kante'd" is registered. Lucas is just a slide tackle merchant. Nowhere near as dynamic as Kante.
>>67702856
Vidal has 40 interceptions this season. Kante has 156. Even at Juve Vidal never had those kind of numbers.
Drinky would walk into almost every midfield imho
>>67703041
>Vidal has 40 interceptions this season. Kante has 156. Even at Juve Vidal never had those kind of numbers.
>what is ball possession
It's funny how you chose a season when he was in and out of the starting line up in a league that plays 4 games fewer than the Prem.
He had more tackles in almost every season at Juve. And he did that on a team that dominated possession, he'd have many more if he played on a team that is constantly without the ball.
>>67703116
meant for
>>67703041
>Vidal has 40 interceptions this season. Kante has 156. Even at Juve Vidal never had those kind of numbers.
Some numbers for everyone:
In 11/12, Arturo Vidal made 162 tackles and 66 interceptions in 2639 minutes.
His team averaged 58.1% possession so he spent 1106 minutes without the ball. He was making a tackle or an interception every 4.8 minutes without the ball.
In 15/16, Kante made 155 tackles and 138 interceptions in 3020 minutes.
His team averaged 44.8% possession so he spent 1667 minutes without the ball. He was making a tackle or an interception every 5.7 minutes without the ball.
>>67703376
are you a liverpool fan by any chance?
>>67702157
>Lassana Diarra is good
Oooh this nigga couldn't even get in Portsmouth's team
>>67703929
No. And even if I was, how is it relevant? Does not buying into Kante hype mean you're some delusional fan of another team?
>>67704017
>No. And even if I was, how is it relevant?
because you're living in the past
>muh interceptions
he thrives in lelpl because they play piss poor football there
watch him get exposed in the CL next season

Kante dicksuckers ITT:
>The kind of skills Kante has displayed is far above anything any defensive midfielder has done in a long time.
>Name one player in the last ten years who can tackle and intercept like Kante can. Protip: you cannot.
>Kante is the greatest tackler I've ever seen.
Just curing their delusion
>>67703376
BTFO. Vidal is literally the same player defensively while being 10 times better in attack.
>>67704063
Vidal plays for the team with the highest ball possesion in europe
>>67703376
>kante isn't good because the stats of vidal's season 4 years ago were better in one particular department, despite them being uncomparable because vidal played for the dominant team in italy and kante played for leicester who relative minnows
>>67704138
you should have replied to those posters directly. the stats you posted aren't in conflict with the claim in the OP.
>>67704238
Can you quote me saying he's not good? No? Then fuck off retard.
And it's easier to amass defensive statistics on a minnow than on a dominant team. The players with the highest tackling stats are rarely playing on top 3 teams.
>>67702827
Mascherano
>>67704082
Leicester as a whole will be exposed next year
>>67699783
His playstyle doesn't suit barca
They'd probably play him at CB
>>67704336
Mascherano is good. Only sometimes great and hell fuck it up at least once in every match
>>67702378
You missed the most important points :
>N'Golo Kanté has completed 1180 passes this season with a pass accuracy of 82%, of which 77% were forward passes.
Because anybody can have 80% accuracy by passing sideways.
>>67704569
Mascherano was easily the best defensive midfielder in the world until he got moved to CB.
>>67696225
>concentration
>statistics
>>67696225
>Very strong
wow ok if they said so and added a sword next to this statistic it must be true.
CIES football observatory have a solid analysis system if you guys wanna check it out

This website's ratings are a joke
>>67708484
They overinflate the grades which leads to too few bad ones but it's not half bad overall, especially in relation to midfielders and forwards
>>67708484
>luiz 6.7
My sides
>>67708514
Well according to their rating system which our german friend has just posted, Germany was "good" and Brazil "average".
Go figure.
Also I've used it some times, as you say they can't give bad ratings for their life, and the bonus given for a goal is disproportionate.
>>67708570
>Germany was "good" and Brazil "average".
Look at the grade distribution here >>67708224
6.06 is a bottom ~11% performance while 7.80 is a top ~6% performance.
>>67708604
>while 7.80 is a top ~6% performance.
More like top 8-9% but that's still a shit performance against an excellent performance if you look at the distribution rather than their rough descriptions.
>>67708604
And you think Brazil's performance not being in the bottom 1% is normal?
I can't even think of another example of a team choking that bad.
>>67708639
>And you think Brazil's performance not being in the bottom 1% is normal?
Absolutely, there are many worse performances every year. They're just not talked about because it's shit like Deportivo or Troyes getting trashed 8-0 by Barca/PSG without getting 2 shots on target themselves
>>67708676
Of course, but this kind of performance is clearly in the bottom 1%. Do you even know how many games are being played every year?
>>67708704
>Do you even know how many games are being played every year?
I do and I'm not watching 99% of them that's why I'm not going to claim with all certainty how low this performance ranks. What matters is the general idea and their ratings give you a general idea of Brazil being shit and Germany being good.
>>67698505
The way he tackles is so strange. He's so short its like he charges in and pushes off the opponent with his forearm and the next thing you know he comes away with the ball.
>>67695659
I dont think real would play him over modric or kroos
>>67710234

The second tackle here on Mitrovic is a classic Kante tackle.
