Checked off the part of his contract to say something nice about the Saudi Pro League ✅
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
FC25 career mode is gonna be interesting. “Alex moves to Saudi Arabia”
500k in the bank for that.
Yeah it must be that, Ngolo pretty much never said anything publicly when he was still playing in the prem.
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.

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.
Being a great footballer doesn’t always translate to giving sensible opinions on football. We’ve seen this time and time again
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.
he’s only 32 !? i thought he was around 35
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?
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.
Ligue 1 for vegans
I mean, league 1 is pretty shitty. On that we can agree.
yea hoping we get promoted asap
This feels like a dig at Lugue 1
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
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
It would definitely do damage in Argentina
Just how shit is league 1?!
Aye this definitely is more damning of Ligue 1 than anything
Nah he is too nice to do that
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.
It feels like someone being paid to talk up his league
I can’t construe this any other way
Ekstraklasa teams would beat them
Enjoy that nice easy bonus for saying something nice about the league
Ligue 1 files defamation lawsuit
It’s clear that the players who went there have dropped their level of competitiveness and quality when they come back to play for their national team. Lebanon Robinson (what was his name?) Is rubbish, Nimmer (what was his face?) is a step or two slower, and even Chris Ronaldinho (is that the guy?) is quite bad, comparatively.
So Kanté’s preference to play in the big derby between Al Gore and Al Yankovic is actually pathetic.Hahahhaha
He hasnt played in Ligue 1 for years?
$50 millions to Kante !!!
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.
“that high”
Some people thinking this is a positive comment but Kante basically admitting he expected tbe league to be a joke, lol.
