The Saudi Pro League has not dimmed the sparkle of an extraordinarily special midfielder
Sport Analysis? We know that Didier Deschamps abhors risk as if it were a death rattle, but there is a level of functionality within this XI that is bordering upon unhelpful.fit and demanding the ball most of the time, the spark becomes a fire. Without him, everything feels a little damp to the touch.. With Deschamps preferring to soak up pressure with his industrial-sized sponge of a midfield, success is determined by France’s ability to counter attack at speed and take their few clear chances.
All is not lost. Scratch that: nothing has been lost at all – beat Poland handsomely and France will likely top Group D. They tend to grow into their international tournaments under Deschamps anyway. During their 2018 World Cup win, they scored a single open-play goal in the groups and then eight more in the knockouts. Nobody is panicking. The blue end of the Red Bull Arena hailed the players at full-time.
But here he is as if his France shirt was Leicester 2015-16 or Chelsea 2016-17 blue, tearing around the pitch like the world Supermarket Sweep champion. He pops up on the left wing to provide an overlap and the right to provide cover and yet always seems to be there in the middle.The tendency, therefore, is to judge Kante by his effort. There was the meme about him covering all of the world where water does not run and the other one about him having three lungs.
He is a magnificently efficient tackler, a far better ball carrier than he has ever been given credit for and his passing is inherently reliable too. Dependability can be sexy, Kante is a joy and English football misses him badly.
