However, one of the critical topics that emerged after the game was the positions of Kante and summer acquisition Jorginho. Since the arrival of the latter, Kante has been forced to play in wide positions, with Sarri preferring Jorginho in the defensive midfield role.
In fact, the Blues boss insists the Frenchman is not tactically as good as Jorginho or Cesc Fabregas and, therefore, will not be a good fit for the role.
Ahead of Chelsea’s Europa League game against PAOK, Sarri said, as quoted by The Telegraph:
Sarri’s criticism of Kante, coupled with his preference for Jorginho in the defensive midfield role, doesn’t enthuse many Chelsea fans, it seems.
A section of the Blues supporters has taken to Twitter to slam the club’s manager over his decision to constantly play Kante out of position in order to accommodate Jorginho.
Some believe the Frenchman is being wasted on the right side of midfield and therefore deserves to be playing in his accustomed position in defensive midfield.
Here are some of the best tweets:
