N'Golo Kanté once again made social networks happy during the shock between Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad, on September 27 for the fourth day of the Saudi Pro League. While the match ended in a quiet victory in Al-Nassr (2-0), an out-of-field moment quickly became viral, even eclipping the performance of the players and the sidelining of Laurent Blanc.
At the time of the pre-match greetings, Cristiano Ronaldo warmly embraced his former teammate Karim Benzema and shakes the hand of Fabinho. But when he approached Kanté, the French environment has passed before him without a look or gesture. This attitude, faithful to its discreet and humble character, immediately sparked a flood of amused reactions on social networks.
“KantĂ© is still kantĂ©”
Internet users have enjoyed themselves: “Only KantĂ© went quietly in front of Ronaldo as if he were a normal person in the canteen”,, “KantĂ© was too busy staying humble to notice who was right next to him”or
“KantĂ© is still kantĂ©”… Fans praised this almost disconcerting modesty against the Portuguese superstar.
On the field, Al-Nassr confirmed his superiority with a clear victory, but it is this small silent “affront” that will remain in the memories. True to his style, KantĂ© recalls that he can make a sensation without ever raising his voice.
