Remember this song which accompanied the Blues’ epic during the 2018 World Cup in Russia. “ N’Golo Kanté ! He’s small, he’s nice, he ate Léo Messi… But we all know that he’s a cheat, N’Golo Kanté…”, could we hear almost everywhere in the streets of France on the evening of July 15, after the victory in the final against Croatia.
At the time, Paul Pogba explained that this reputation came from the French midfielder’s ability to cheat at card games. “Today we can say that you are a cheater or not? »asked Adil Rami, 2018 world champion, during an interview broadcast in Téléfoot this Sunday morning.
N’Golo Kanté refuses to confess
“I think it depends on who you see, because if everyone cheats, am I more of a cheater than anyone else? This I do not know “, replied the player from Al-Ittihad Club (Saudi Arabia). “But with me you cheated, replies the former defender. We played together, we had to be the first to arrive at three victories. I got to three victories, then you said to me ‘come on, let’s go to five’”.
N’Golo Kanté did not want to give up. “No, no, no, you’re a great player. Agree to continue and if you beat me, I will respect your victory even more,” stressed the former Chelsea player,
summoned to everyone’s surprise by Didier Deschamps for Euro 2024 in Germany.
