Cesc Fabregas reveals what N’Golo Kante’s ‘dark side’ is

Premier League, EURO 2020
Cesc Fabregas has revealed Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante also has a 'dark side' to his game. The Frenchman is renowned for being one of the 'nicest and modest blokes' in football. Kante reportedly refused to let his image rights be paid to an offshore tax haven, instead he told Chelsea he only wants a 'normal salary'. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The midfielder was too shy to have a picture taken with the World Cup trophy after France's 2018 triumph.

But Fabregas, who played alongside Kante at Chelsea, says he has a different side to his game which makes him very successful. In his Telegraph column, Fabregas wrote: "N’Golo has a little dark side as well that I l...

Premier League, EURO 2020
Paul Pogba concedes to having more "freedom" playing for France than he gets at Manchester United, but he will always prioritise collective efforts over personal gain.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); He has no issue with that, with versatility allowing him to sit deeper on a domestic stage, but chances to release the shackles when turning out for France will always be embraced. Pogba told L'Equipe: "It's true that at Juventus it was different from Manchester. We were playing three in the middle, in a 5-3-2. I had the freedom, I had to be in the box,...
