Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante has revealed he has a good understanding with fellow midfielder Nemanja Matic because of the work they both put in training.

“Chelsea have many very good midfielders but most of the time I play with Matic and yes, he’s a good player,” Kante said.

“In training we have done a lot of work together so in the game we can understand each other.

“When he goes forward, I stay back. When I go forward, he stays back. When you play together, it’s good to understand each other and I think it is a good partnership.”
