N'Golo Kante trained as an accountant in his native France




N'Golo Kante has revealed that he is a trained accountant, and that he worked towards the qualification because he was not sure if he would make it as a professional footballer.

Kante has been a revelation since moving to the Premier League, winning the title for Leicester and Chelsea in both of his full seasons in England.

However, he endured a long journey to reach that level, and spent time in the French amateur leagues.

Kante said: "I was at Boulogne, in the second team - the sixth, then the fifth division. I wasn't professional, so I kept studying because I wasn't sure if I would be able to make a living as a footballer.


"When I was 18, I got my baccalaureate [the French A-Level equivalent] and after that I did two more years of study in accountancy.

"When I went up to the first-team, I became professional, so I stopped studying. I got my qualification in accountancy, but now I prefer to concentrate on football."

The story only serves to highlight the meteoric rise of Kante, who was a relative unknown before moving to Leicester in the summer of 2015.

The French midfielder was nominated for the Ballon d'Or for the first time on Monday.




King Kantelele....

sinizia:
Exactly my fears and why I wanted him benched with the trio of Matic, Fellaini and Hererra starting.

dubylhover:
micki benched?? the only midfielder we have who can run and move with the ball? yes he's had a dip in form but I sure as hell won't bench him and I don't expect mou to

Blood of Kantelele why are you the bringer of bad news?

Odunharry:
I told u.. What we saw ws complete Dominance.
Christensen was solid for Shekpe yesterday, Willian, oh Lord.(Headless running). Couldn't believe when I saw him take the ball back to his own player instead of him attacking at City goal.

Long may Shekpe woes continue

Leyqute:
Can't help but think Rashford will be very lethal if he can train to cross and shoot with his left. That RW will suddenly come alive.

He could cut back after a blistering run and put the ball in the back of the net on either side of the pitch.

It's what he's always wanted to do.

Wura27:
The goals by Fellaini should have been Lukaku's. He kept coming to Lukaku's space.

Griffon:
Well, that still doesn't stop us from being entertaining, something that can't be said about you.

Ibime:
Gary Cahill header will win this game, watch.

KillerFrost:
Coz players don’t get injured even in training or while warming up pre match abi?..

raumdeuter:
Not even Batsuya

Leyqute:
City are playing way better. Who else saw that blustering counter attack?! Delphi is such a snail.

Odunharry:
Lol. Draw will be just perfect. I'm scared our brothers will destroy the bridge.

BlueAngel444:
But Chelsea's trio is the best to divide and conquer Man City. They are the ACE - Alvaro, Cesc and Eden. 9 4 10
