    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.

      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.

      Anyway I don’t wanna any player who play in this league in our NT.

      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

        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.

    Some people thinking this is a positive comment but Kante basically admitting he expected tbe league to be a joke, lol.

    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.

    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
