Some players are extral ordinary, full of experience. There are still some players that goes to coaching school when they are still playing football and they do this so as to start coaching work when they retire from playing football so they know what to do even if the club coach they are playing for didn't tell them
In teams, I believe that who should be a captain shouldn't be the one that knows how to dribble, or the highest goal scorer, captain should have the trait of a leader, the person that can take the blame of the rest 10 players, who don't get angry easily. Imagine the kind of leader that Kanté would be if he is chanced to be a captain of his team
Captain like Harry Maguire isn't the one I'm talking about, he don't accept his teammates blame, he criticize and he don't take blame. Ole Gunner Solskjaear must have just like him naturally for making him captain of the team because I didn't see any criteria in him. It's not because he is the oldest player, or he first some of the teammates in the team
If you would be a captain of a team, you must have the quality of a leader in both on the field and outside field. See captain Simon Kjaer that saved Christian Eriksen life, Kjaer has gave Eriksen the first aid even before they bring Oxygen. Not only that, he is still the one that assure Eriksen's wife that her husband is breathing and promise her he would be fine. He is a captain in both on and off the pitch
