Simba midfielder Allassane Kante has impressed with his passing ability and composure in building attacks from deep. However, some football analysts believe he still shows minor weaknesses similar to those that once affected Che Fondoh Malone during his time at the club.
On several occasions, Kante has been seen holding onto the ball for too long instead of releasing it quickly, allowing opponents to press him in dangerous areas. He has also been criticized for passing back to the goalkeeper without first scanning the field, a habit that can expose the team to unnecessary risk.
Similar mistakes were among the issues that frequently drew criticism toward Che Malone, despite his strengths in other aspects of defending.
If Kante fails to address these shortcomings, he could face greater challenges, especially as Simba prepares for highly competitive continental tournaments where even the smallest mistakes can prove costly.
Nevertheless, Kante still has every opportunity to improve. By reducing individual errors and making quicker decisions on the ball, he has the potential to become one of Simba's key players in the upcoming season.
