‘He’s got everything’: Pundit says ‘extraordinary’ £63m Man City player is now better than Chelsea legend

Jamie O’Hara said that Rodri, a key player for Manchester City, is better than N’Golo Kante, a star player for Chelsea.

The controversial expert said this on talkSPORT after recommending the £63 million (ESPN) player for an all-time Premier League XI.

Jamie O’Hara has even said that Rodri is a better defensive player than N’Golo Kante in the league.

Jamie O’Hara says Rodri is better than Kante

Pep Guardiola called the former Atletico Madrid star “extraordinary,” and he is without a doubt the best defensive midfielder in the world.

In fact, the Spanish international has been better than everyone else for the last two seasons and so far in the 2023/2024 season.

Now, Jamie O’Hara has said that Rodri has hit a level where it is safe to say that he is better than N’Golo Kante.

“I think he’s better than Kante”, he said.

“If you’re talking about a holding midfielder who you’d want in your side, Rodri or Kante, I would say Rodri.”

“He’s got everything. Kante can’t do what Rodri can do, Rodri can do what Kante can do.”

Rodri has outdone the Frenchman in the No.6 role in the Premier League

Jamie O’Hara is right when he says that Rodri would be the better choice between N’Golo Kante and N’Golo Kante as a defensive midfielder, even though many people might find this point of view offensive.

One reason for this is that most people forget that the World Cup winner was only a No. 6 for two seasons.

Even though he was great during Leicester City’s fantasy Premier League-winning season and Antonio Conte’s title-winning season, the Frenchman spent the rest of his time in the Premier League as a box-to-box midfielder.

Rodri, on the other hand, is a much better holding player than N’Golo Kante because he has a lot more to his game.

Even though Kante is faster than the treble winner, the treble winner has a much better sense of danger when he has the ball. He is simply on a different level than Kante.
