His presence in the list has excited all fans of football and the Blues: N’Golo Kanté (33) is making his return to the French team. A surprise announcement from Didier Deschamps for the one who has been away from the France team for almost two years and a Nations League match against Denmark (1-2) at the Stade de France. Observers see his return as an opportunity to bring experience to a group that is still generally young. However, for Emmanuel Petit, 1998 world champion, the fact that N’Golo Kanté played all season in Saudi Arabia is a problem.
“I have seen several matches in the Saudi championship since September and I remain with the same impression, we are very far from the European level. In midfield, they have the latitude to be able to play, to control the ball, to turn around, to do things. They are not under pressure, there is no real physical dimension. It is often an attack-defense with a no-man’s land in midfield. I’m delighted to see N’Golo Kanté back in the French team because he’s a guy that everyone adores, his personality is unanimous and you know that he will give you everything he has.”however concluded Emmanuel Petit on the airwaves of RMC.
