As the former Chelsea player demonstrates his class once more, footage shows a ‘humble’ N’Golo Kante cleaning up his pitch following a fan stall tactic

After his contract with Chelsea and Leicester expired last summer, the former player has been playing for Al Ittihad in Saudi Arabia.

Kante got stuck in helping to clear the flags

The Frenchman is still as pure as ever, in case you were wondering, and his most recent actions have left social media fans in awe.

On Thursday, Al Ittihad played Al Ahli, and Saleh Alshehri’s goal in the first half gave the home team a 1-0 victory.

However, hundreds of flags thrown on the field by Ittihad supporters caused the game to stop for five minutes.As Al Ittihad defended their advantage and the visitors grabbed control of the game, this was done to slow it down.

Except for one, the majority of the players left the field to get a drink while the mess was cleaned up.

Fans praised the moment on social media, with one commenting on X, “Typical N’Golo Kante.””Such a humble guy, love him so much,” someone else remarked.

A third, meanwhile, wrote: “Football players these days aren’t really likeable.

“N’Golo Kante is simply the most morally upright football player. Please bring him back to England.

Kante has previously demonstrated his class outside of his skill on the field.

He famously went home with an Arsenal supporter he had met at a mosque to play a round of FIFA and watch the day’s game.

While his colleagues arrived at training in fancy cars, the Premier League and World Cup winner used to show up in a cheap Mini Cooper estimated to be worth roughly £10,000.Additionally, Kante was too nervous to beg to carry the trophy when France won the World Cup, so teammates Steven Nzonzi and others gave it to him so he could have his moment.

N’Golo, never change.
