In what perspective did Didier Deschamps recall Kanté to the French team? To make him a basic man in his eleven or to play luxury replacements?
To everyone’s surprise, Didier Deschamps summoned N’Golo Kanté for Euro 2024, which will take place in Germany from June 14. The 33-year-old midfielder has been playing in Saudi Arabia for almost a year, so his current level of play is difficult to assess.
Bixente Lizarazu appears quite perplexed on this subject. “We can ask ourselves questions. I think that Didier Deschamps has guarantees on an athletic level. This Saudi Arabian championship is a championship for retirees for me. It doesn’t pull you up sportingly. Now, when we are professional like Kanté, when we have been consistent, perhaps he has a sufficient level for Deschamps and the French team. declared the sports consultant this Sunday morning in Téléfoot.
Kante, “ an impact player » ?
In the same program, Rio Mavuba explained that he did not see Kanté returning to the Blues with a starting status. “I don’t see him having a major role at first. But if, during the preparation matches and in training, he manages to show very good things, I think that could be a great contribution. Even coming in, he can be an impact player. But it’s certain that there are questions around him and his level”confided the former Lille player.
Many observers were surprised by this summons, like Raymond Domenech. According to Christophe Lollichon, former member of the Chelsea technical staff, Kanté would still have plenty of level to wear the rooster’s jersey.
