N'Golo Kante - cheater you cannot hate

Two completely different types of midfielders (and people) who won the World Cup together three years ago - Paul Pogba and N'Golo Kante. One loves attention on and off the pitch while the other seems to avoid cameras however he can.

Everyone is almost shocked by the level of modesty and introvertness of Kante but Pogba has some inside details that are quite interesting for an average football lover.

Didier Deschamps' World Cup-winning French side has the Manchester United midfielder often paired up with Chelsea dynamo.

In an interview for beIN Sports, Pogba told how the never-tired Parisian Kante (30), uses his cunning ways to win, as well as praising his technical ability and attitude.

Before hailing him as the most beloved player in the history of football, Pogba has described his international team-mate as someone who is quite a rule-bender.

'He cheats a lot. A lot. At card games, board games. Honestly, I'm telling the truth. He cheats. He says he doesn't cheat, but he does. He uses cunning. He's a smart kid, N'Golo. But it's okay. You have to love him.' Pogba said.

'He's the most beloved player in the history of football. You've got to love him, you cannot hate him, it is not possible. He is humble, kind, professional. He will never complain, he will work.

'He's got everything. He's good technically, with a good passing quality, and he's everywhere on the pitch. I even say he appears out of the ground! You don't see him, and - poof - he's out! He gets the ball, he has the finish. He's everywhere.

'To have a player like that by your side, what more can you ask for?'

Even with all those superlatives, Kante was not able to steer Chelsea to defeat his former club Leicester City in the FA Cup final on Saturday. Belgian Youri Tielemans brought the first FA Cup trophy to King Power Stadium with a lovely projectile in a 1-0 victory for the Foxes.

Chelsea face Leicester again on Tuesday in the Premier League as they chase a top-four place, followed by Aston Villa on the final day and then Manchester City on the 29th in the Champions League showpiece.

Kante was superb in the Champions League semi-final win against Real Madrid and his manager at Chelsea Thomas Tuchel believes, alongside with his teammates, French midfielder deserves to win the top European prize at the club.
