N'Golo Kante' shyness makes him even more adorable

N'Golo Kante is a player so much like Paul Scholes. He speaks volumes when on the pitch but is almost a non-entity off it, given his shy nature. However, it's exactly this ability to perform where it matters that makes him an adored personality in the football world at the moment.

Kante is one of the consistent performers on the pitch; an omnipresent midfielder tirelessly covering every blade of grass and neutralizing the greatest of players with his tremendous work ethic. What's more, the players in his position require to have a strong physique and a good height, yet the Frenchman carries out his role to astounding perfection even though he lacks both the aforementioned traits.

"N'Golo Kante, N'Golo Kante, he's short, he's beautiful, he's the one that stopped Lionel Messi, N'Golo Kante."

It's not a rocket science to know that you are an absolute darling to everyone one on the team when they sing such a song on the World Cup trophy parade, is it?
