Maurizio Sarri will now start working with Ross Barkley and Ruben Loftus-Cheek in an attempt to help them improve in the same way N’Golo Kante has done over the past few months.There have been major questions asked over whether Kante has a future at Chelsea under Sarri, as the role he excels in – dedicated ball-winner – is not a role the Italian wants in his team.Instead, Kante has been forced to play the role of shuttler on the right side of a three-man midfield, playing just ahead of Jorginho, the holder, and slightly behind the more attacking member of the trio.

Sarri critical of Kante
Back in November, Maurizio Sarri claimed Kante is not technically proficient enough to play in midfield for his Chelsea team. He said:“I think, as you know, I want to play a central midfielder as a very technical player, a Jorginho or [Cesc] Fabregas.“I dont want Kante in this position.“Kante, in the last match [vs Tottenham], wanted to solve the match after the first 15 minutes but in the wrong way.“He lost his position. He attacked too much the other box. And I think this is not one of the best characteristics of Kante.“Maybe its only a question of time.“But Kante has to stay near to Jorginho, especially when the ball is on the other side.”However, his match-winning strike in Sunday’s defeat of Crystal Palace was already Kante’s third league goal of 2018/19, meaning the World Cup winner is now Chelsea’s joint-highest scoring midfielder this season.He has netted the same number of league goals as both Barkley and Loftus-Cheek, and Kante’s finish against Palace proved he is learning how to play the role Sarri requires of him.- MATCH REPORT:Crystal Palace 0-1 Chelsea
