With the referee Paulson's whistle, the game officially began, Leicester City, who were playing at home, took the lead, the first shot was from Iheanacho, after kick-off, Leicester City immediately scored into the Chelsea half, Ndidi took the ball with a long pass, Vardy's header knocked back, and Iheanacho shot directly from outside the penalty area.

Caballero made a save but didn't touch the football, but Leicester also didn't get on the scoresheet and Iheanacho's shot eventually hit the post.

The second wave of attack still belongs to Leicester City, Chelsea's corner kick, Jones held the ball and was caught by three people at half-time, it is clear that Leicester City is fully prepared for this game, and Jones chose to pass back to Kante.

And it was his kick back pass, Ndidi came out from behind, Kante couldn't react, was cut off by him, Ndidi's performance and attitude at the moment can be seen, for this game, he is full of energy, not let Chelsea retreat, because he is called the "new Kante" He naturally wants to prove in front of Kante that he is himself, not anyone's stand-in.

After the break, Ndidi made a decisive pass, Iheanacho took the ball and rushed towards the Chelsea box, but he was met by a volley on the way to Tiemoue Bakayoko, and in the face of this situation, Iheanacho sent the ball high into the Chelsea box, and Christensen and Vardy competed for the ball.

In the end, Christensen won and the football was pushed out of the box, but the ball fell at the feet of Ndidi, who was following the attack, but fortunately Kante had been following Ndidi at this time, and under Kante's interference, Ndidi's shot went straight into the sky and flew into the stands.

Kante left Leicester City to join Chelsea after winning the title, and Leicester City's midfield position has been a huge hole, and last season they impressed Belgian side Gent with a £14million offer, locking in 19-year-old Nigerian midfielder Ndidi.

After N'Golo Kante's departure last season, many media predicted that Leicester City would have a difficult time in the new season, but they didn't expect the decline to be so complete and set the worst away record in the top flight, Kante's departure was seen as an important reason.

N'Golo Kante recorded a best single game tackles and 4.1 successful interceptions for Leicester City, while the team's overall average of tackles and interceptions per game is also the highest in the Premier League.

Last season, Leicester dropped to 15th place in the league with 16.5 tackles per game and 12th place with 14.5 interceptions.

The arrival of Ndidi gave them hope, with him averaging 6.8 tackles per game in his five Europa League games, in addition to making 4.4 interceptions per game.

This statistic is even better than N'Golo Kante, who, despite having such a high tackle, is not inclined to tackles, which is close to N'Golo Kante's style of play, and they are more accustomed to making tackles with excellent anticipation and running.

Ndidi's outstanding performance in the Europa League attracted the attention of many giants, but in the end, it was Leicester City who successfully signed Ndidi and made him the new Kante, which is the idea of Leicester City fans!

There is no doubt that Ndidi has the potential to become a truly world-class defensive midfielder, as evidenced by his superb possession ability, his clean tackles and his tackles, as well as his unsolicited tackles.

Like N'Golo Kante, he has the ability to run, and unlike N'Golo Kante, Ndidi is 6'1" tall and handles the ball very well, which makes him play well from set-pieces in the box.

This season, Ndidi ranks first in the Premier League with 59 tackles so far, and this data is also the first in the top five leagues, and his defense is quite strong.

This season, he has made 109 successful tackles, averaging 4.19 successful tackles per game, and has made 177 successful tackles when he joined Leicester City.

Gueye and N'Golo Kante, the top two in the steals list last season, delivered 83 and 77 respectively, and even when we expand our horizons to the top five leagues, this figure is far ahead, 24 more than Saul, who plays for Deportivo La Coruna, with 85.

Ndidi has completed 109 tackles in 26 games this season, and with Gueye's current tackling efficiency, it would take 36 league games to complete that many tackles, and Kante, as everyone knows, needs 33 league games with his current tackling efficiency.

Saul, who is second in the top five leagues and has only played 21 league games, will have to use one more league game than Ndidi to surpass him.

Ndididi's positioning in Leicester City is indeed set as a replacement for N'Golo Kante, mainly responsible for midfield tackles and part of the midfield scheduling, compared to N'Golo Kante, Ndidi's running is not very positive, but Ndidi has something that Kante does not have height.

This means that he doesn't always have to take the initiative and instead relies on a wait-and-see style of pressing for the ball in a tight area.

This season, Ndidi has made the most passes in the team with 1,312 and a success rate of 76.0 per cent, which is acceptable for a team that focuses on defensive counter-attacks against Leicester City, and with his strong ability to get rid of defences, Ndidi can pull out space to pass.

The vast majority of his passes this season have been short, with only 65 long balls, but there was no shortage of beautiful long balls against Manchester United that created a threat.

Ndididi, who has been a central defender, has a good sense of fighting for the top, when Ndidi first entered the Genk professional team, he was a central defender, and later due to his thin physique, coupled with active scrambling, he was moved to the position of the midfielder, and finally shined.

However, Ndidi's long-term playing as a defender has cultivated the awareness and ability to fight for the top, allowing him to participate in the work of high ball duels, and this season he has won 81 aerial duels this season, ranking second among all midfielders in the Premier League, and in the team, he has even more than 79 aerial duels with the 194cm tall Maguire, and more than half of the 53 victories of the third-place Fuchs, which shows that Ndidi's ability to compete for the top is excellent.

This season, in Pierre's tactics, Ndidi has started to move wide in the team's attack, which has reduced the number of interceptions he has made at the back, but it still reached 34, and only Fuchs has more than him in the team.

Ndidi has also won 237 physical duels and 226 ball recoveries this season, which are important stats for a defensive player, and Ndidi's stats show that he is excellent in this area.

As a centre-back midfielder, the ability to clear the ball is still one of Ndidi's muscle memory skills, so he can sometimes step in to help out with a task that was originally a full-time centre-back.

As a model of a centre-back-turned-defensive midfielder, Ndidi has the basic passing, ball control and tackling skills of a midfielder, while still possessing the ability to fight for the ball, clear and intercept as a centre-back, which makes him more versatile and better at the defensive end of the pitch among many defensive midfielders.

However, compared to his predecessor N'Golo Kante, his passing ability is still lacking, and sometimes he often loses the ball for no reason, and Kante's high football IQ and excellent big-picture vision are even more difficult for the younger generation Ndidi to reach.

However, Ndidi is only 21 years old and he is still in his prime, and if he can better hone his skills and develop a better vision of the big picture, it will not be difficult to become a world-class midfielder.
