Checked off the part of his contract to say something nice about the Saudi Pro League ✅
500k in the bank for that.
yeah, he managed to have a sly dig at Ligue 1’s best team, PSG who are Qatari owned too. Double bonus coming Kante’s way
Yeah it must be that, Ngolo pretty much never said anything publicly when he was still playing in the prem.
FC25 career mode is gonna be interesting. “Alex moves to Saudi Arabia”
How could he know? Last time he played in Ligue 1 was almost 10 years ago.
Anyway I don’t wanna any player who play in this league in our NT. He is 32 years old it’s time to move on.
he’s only 32 !? i thought he was around 35

You seem to be under a mistaken impression that you get a say in who gets select into the NT. Such an unfortunate misconception to have.
I think at least give him till the euros before giving him the shove. Similar to Henderson, playing in Saudi league is a massive downgrade but their skills don’t dissappear overnight. It’s not like they are 38 or something. Perhaps someone in the locker room with veteran presence coming off the bench.
K how would you know anything close to the quality of either league then if the criteria is how recently you played in the league?

One of the best midfielders of his generation probably knows a thing or two about football you’d think especially having played in the league.

Surely, Deschamps is taking notes.
Oh, I guess he’s able to make a precise ranking of all leagues in the planet, then.
Even those he didn’t play in in the last 10 years.
Being a great footballer doesn’t always translate to giving sensible opinions on football. We’ve seen this time and time again
This feels like a dig at Lugue 1
Just how shit is league 1?!
Aye this definitely is more damning of Ligue 1 than anything
I can’t construe this any other way
It might feel like, but that’s not his intention, quite the opposite. He (or at least his entourage) are campaigning for his return to the NT (good luck with that!) and their argument is that the Saudi League is a high level league, so N’Golo still has the goods to play with Les Bleus.
Nah he is too nice to do that
It feels like someone being paid to talk up his league
Tbh he said the top 5 matches which I don’t find to be too out of pocket overall. The Al Hilal squad would do damage in Europe if they had the right coaching and right complementary players
It would definitely do damage in Argentina
So if they had better players and coaches they would be a better team? mind blowing stuff.
Tbh I didn’t say “better” but “right” specially as in the right players for European football.
Right players for a squad literally means they make the squad better so in your own context better and right is the same thing
You must feel privileged interacting with Michael Owen
Oil farmers league.
20mil bonus per week to say 1 nice thing about Saudi. Probably have a calendar reminder on his phone.
Knowing Kante he probably would say it without extrapay famously nice
People might think you’re joking, but they do pay for positive social media posts, so wouldn’t be a stretch to pay for positive words in interviews.
Tbf Al Hilal would be able to beat most of the mid table French teams.
Some people thinking this is a positive comment but Kante basically admitting he expected tbe league to be a joke, lol.
League One.
Ligue 1 files defamation lawsuit
and he earned at least 1 mil by saying this nice promotion man
He hasnt played in Ligue 1 for years?
Top Saudi teams are probably close to relegation teams of Ligue 1. Saudi teams have more star players, but Relegation teams have more balanced squads.
Why are you being sensible on this thread? You were supposed to trash him and pretend Clermont is much better than Club World Cup finalists Al Hilal.
$50 millions to Kante !!!
“that high”
Tick in the box for Kante meeting one of his contractual obligation of bigging up a league no one is interested in.
Next week he will share his thoughts on the amazing aquarium and library
N’games gone
