Frank Leboeuf is feeling incredibly angry with his former team, Chelsea. He's not holding back in expressing his disappointment with their decision to sell N'Golo Kante last summer. According to Leboeuf, it's a "shameful" move that shows a lack of foresight on the part of the club.
It seems that Chelsea deemed Kante to be unnecessary after investing in Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo. This was a big blow to the veteran midfielder, as it appeared to mark the end of his career at the top level of world football. However, he has proved everyone wrong by putting in some outstanding performances for the French national team.
Despite being surprisingly included in Didier Deschamps' squad, Kante has shown why he deserved the call-up. His energetic displays in the heart of France's midfield have impressed both his manager and fans alike. But Kante is not the only experienced player that Chelsea has let go under Todd Boehly's leadership.
One of those players is Thiago Silva, who bid an emotional farewell to the club at the end of last season. This has not gone down well with Leboeuf, who is frustrated with the club's decision to let go of experienced players. As a former Chelsea player, he still follows the club closely and is disappointed with the direction they seem to be heading in.
"I'm frustrated as a former Chelsea player," Leboeuf told BoyleSports. "I still have a special connection with the club and its fans. But now, my frustration has turned into anger. It seems like Chelsea is stuck in a cycle of changing coaches without making any real changes in their approach to the game."
Leboeuf believes that Chelsea's current state is not working, and they have become a laughing stock for other clubs. He's not the only one who feels this way; fans want results, and so does he. Waiting for four years to see any progress is not something he's willing to do.
"We need to sign players who can strengthen our team from the inside," said Leboeuf. "Just look at what N'Golo Kante is doing at the Euros. It's a shame that we're getting rid of players like him. There's no consistency in our approach, and selling Thiago Silva, our only experienced defender, was a big mistake."
Leboeuf believes that there needs to be a balance between young talent and experienced players in the team. Chelsea has a lot of talented young players, but they lack the wisdom and experience needed to guide them. This is why they can be amazing in one moment and terrible in the next.
"This has become the new normal for Chelsea, and it's not acceptable," said Leboeuf. "There needs to be a change in the way they operate if they want to see any real progress."
