“Never saw a left foot like it” – Denis Zakaria names 2 Chelsea players who impressed him in training
N’Golo Kante and Hakim Ziyech impressed Chelsea midfielder, Denis Zakaria, a lot during training at Stamford Bridge.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!During the summer transfer window, the Blues successfully signed Juventus midfielder Zakaria on a season-loan agreement.
Zakaria has had the opportunity to learn from Kante, one of the top players in his position in the world right now, since moving to Chelsea. As a result, it is not surprising that the French defensive midfielder has won him over in practice.
In addition to Kante, Zakaria claimed that Blues winger Ziyech also attracted his attention during practice sessions with his incredible left foot.
Football.london recently cited him as saying the following: “I’ve never seen a left foot like Hakim [Ziyech’s] before. It’s crazy, oof. Every midfield player, in my opinion, can take inspiration from N’Golo [Kante]. He performs extraordinary, amazing things.”
The Swiss international continued by commenting on the general standard of Chelsea’s training. He compared it to what he had at Juventus and said it is one of the nicest things he has ever seen. He stated:
“I can say that the players in training are among the greatest I’ve ever seen in terms of talent. Juventus is, of course, a top-notch team. But I have to admit that this Chelsea team is truly remarkable in terms of quality. With each training session, you get better. I came here in order to better myself, so I believe coming here was a wise choice.”
N’Golo Kante has been out with a muscle issue since Gameweek 2 of the Premier League. In August, Chelsea played Everton and Tottenham Hotspur, but the defensive midfielder hasn’t been in any games since.
Hakim Ziyech, on the other hand, has made four appearances for the Blues in all competitions but has yet to contribute to any goals. As the season goes on, all eyes will be on the two players to perform.
The Blues’ following home match is on October 8 against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
