Who said that N’Golo Kanté has been in decline since the last Euro. No, the French midfielder continues to show very interesting performance. And we were able to verify this Thursday evening during the match he played with Al Ittihad against Al Riyadh.
During this game counting for 8e lifted from the Saudi Pro League, the former Chelsea player was the author of 105 successful passes. This is the best total achieved this season in this league. Before him, there was only one player who exceeded the threshold of 100 correct passes in a match, in this case Mosaab Al-Jouair of Al-Shabab.
Kanté back in Blue in November?
This statistic proves that Kanté still has a very decent performance. At 33, he remains efficient. It remains to be seen whether he is good enough in the eyes of Didier Deschamps, the national coach, to deserve a return to Blue. As a reminder, he was not present at the last gathering.
With his team Al-Ittihad, where Karim Benzema also plays, Kanté is currently leading the Saudi championship, tied on points with defending champion Al-Hilal. Enough to hope for a first trophy gleaned in the Gulf at the end of the season.
