International Career

Dynamic, petite, and disciplined participant, Kante is known for his tireless energy and extraordinary abilities as a midfielder in midfield. This is due to his strong positional sense, ball movement, and ability to learn sports. His rest is seen as doing "dirty work" which includes walking, searching, and retrieving possessions; to help teammates so that they can be put in winning positions. He blossomed late and at the age of 21 made only one senior appearance in the 2nd tier of French football. He attributes his calm and composed demeanor on the pitch to his slow rise to three rungs in the football league pyramid.

Although he is mainly known for his tactical attention, intelligence, anticipation, and the defensive element of his rest, namely his ability to handle and recover possession, intercept passes and block shots, he is also able to play from his own half of the field and is an effective passer on the counterattack, which allows him to start attacking games after winning with the ball from the bottom of the back. He also briefly walks back and forth on the field and often makes late offensive runs, which even allows him to score goals for his team from time to time. He made the most shots in Europe's top leagues in the comeback seasons (14-15 and 15-16), and in April 2016, Sir Alex Ferguson described him as a great player in the Premier League,  while the following year, former Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard described him as a good vital midfielder at the International. Under Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri, Kante also underwent further technical and tactical improvements and was deployed in a more advanced midfielder role, developing into a stronger midfielder who eventually also became effective in possession, as evidenced by his ability to carry the ball forward and move from defense to attack. He was previously used in this more advantageous position with Leicester and was also sometimes deployed on the left flank. In his first 150 Premier League games, he scored ninety-two wins, 28 losses, and 10 sacks. In his five years in the Premier League, he has never received a purple card.

Kante cites Lassana Diarra and Makele as inspiration but insists that he has his own personal style and method in the sport,  regardless of their comparable playing styles and defensive roles in midfield.[9] His World Cup-winning midfield partner, Paul Pogba, has stated that he should overtake a whole group of 11 players. His general manager for the league, Claudio Ranieri, often joked about the fact that he had "batteries", and stated: "One day I will see you pass the ball, and then finish the move with a head kick", Antonio Conte praised his work ethic and regular willingness to improve. Kante stated that he doesn't always like his role, but "pride in recovering the ball, in protecting my team from the opponent's attack" is what keeps him going. The famous Internet meme that 70% of the planet is protected by water and the rest by the Kante twins illustrates his status as a majority amateur and their recognition of his ethics and study of the game.

After Kante's winning performances at Chelsea ahead of the 2020-21 UEFA Champions League final, many pundits have named him as the direct successor to former France international and Chelsea international Claude Makel, who is considered one of the most likable defensive midfielders of all time.
