Will Chelsea's N'Golo Kante win the Ballon d'Or? | Extra Time | ESPN FC
Спорт
ESPN FC's Jan Aage Fjortoft, Shaka Hislop and Alejandro Moreno join Dan Thomas to answer fans' questions in Extra Time.
0:00 Fjortoft discusses his experience at the Champions League final and why he declined an invitation to Chelsea's party after the match.
2:27 How does Fjortoft feel being the only ESPN pundit to correctly predict an all-English Champions League final and a Chelsea victory?
3:46 Can Pep Guardiola still be considered the best manager in the world after Manchester City's defeat?
4:33 Frank Lampard said Chelsea wasn't ready to compete. Does the Blues' UCL triumph prove he wasn't ready for the job?
6:21 Where does N'Golo Kante rank among the early favorites to win the Ballon d'Or?
9:40 Has any goalkeeper had as meteoric a rise as Chelsea's Edouard Mendy?
10:51 Does Fjortoft believe Ole Gunnar Solskjaer can still deliver trophies for Manchester United after losing the Europa League final?

I want Kante to win it as he is such an amazing and integral player to all teams he is in, but I will not complain if Lewandowski wins. The man was robbed of a ballon dor last year when he won the treble, and then preceded to win the league and score 40+ goals this year. He has been the best forward in the world for two years in a row so he deserves it. That being said, if Kante has a quality Euro, he should rightfully finish first.

Assuming he will be the best player on the team instead of Mbappe, if Mbappe will be the best French player then he will have a good chance to win. Lewandowski, Suarez and Lukaku have good chances to win Ballon d'Or in my books since they already won their own league and will score more goals in Euros/Copa.

His role? U either havent watched football matches or at least not a chelsea fan. Kante has always played and always excelled as double pivot since the earliest days of his career, whether its a 3 men or 2 men midfielder system. Jorginho was more familiar with the holding midfielder role and he is better at keeping the ball, build up, better vision as the holding mid role is very crucial in controllng the tempo of the team. While kante is uncontestedly the best at retrieving the ball, he gave away the ball very often as well. So if youre saying the role of kante is a holding midfielder then u are very very wrong, he always play better as a double pivot

No, no and no 🙅🏾♂️ What did Messi win with Argentina or Ronaldo with Portugal winning those ballons d'or? 🤔 See Kanté is not a striker, therefore you cannot measure his ability or impact on his respective teams simply by the number of goals. You have to look at how important he is in his role in those teams. Without Kanté there's no World Cup for France in 2018 and without him there is no CL this year for Chelsea or any Premiership League for Leicester... It's that simple, the guy has to be recognised finally for his colossal work with absolute consistency!!!

@@DMBK-jn5rz Agreed. However, Balón d’ Oro is an individual award. If Kanté performs exceptionally in the Euros for France, then he should be the Balón d’ Oro winner no doubt about it. But then again, Balón d’ Oro is a popularity contest. It’s the reason Messi and Ronaldo have won it that much. Some of those seasons other players deserved it no questions asked.

@@MonkeyMonkeyMONKEY. I agree with you too and Ballon d'or has never been objective ever since cos it's all too political and when I read some of what ppl say in these platforms, I see why even guys who decides these could be so biased most times. Ppl like to favour those they associate with and not those truly deserving and that's sadly the world we live in 😫
He should because the man contributed greatly towards Chelsea's success, good games bro.
It's always N'golo. I love him, everyone does
Legend has it that when Kante lost his virginity he won it back
He's in my top five for now.

N'golo Kante will definitely win the Ballon d' ore. When Kante plays Chelsea seem like they have extra player.

No bro. Just because he’s been in form the latter part of the season doesn’t mean he all of suddenly deserves ballon dor. What’s this nonsense lewy has been dominant all season.
