Frank Lampard is following in the footsteps of predecessor Maurizio Sarri in playing N'Golo Kante as a box-to-box midfielder, and has been hailed for doing so by new Besiktas coach Abdullah Avcu0131.
Sarri was criticised during his sole season in charge at Stamford Bridge for not deploying Kante in a deeper role, instead opting for Jorginho as his No. 6 in a three-man midfield.
But in giving the France international a more expansive role to get up and down the pitch, Lampard followed Sarri's lead by handing Kante licence to patrol the whole field against Liverpool in Wednesday's UEFA Super Cup clash.
