N'Golo Kante Shines in France's Euro 2024 Win After International Recall

Posted : 18 June 2024

France's decision to recall N'Golo Kante after two years away from international duty raised eyebrows, but coach Didier Deschamps' confidence in the midfielder proved justified in Monday's 1-0 win over Austria at Euro 2024. Kante, absent since June 2022 due to injury, showed no signs of rust, demonstrating his top-notch performance against Austria.

 

Despite playing in the Saudi Pro League, which led some to believe his France career had ended, the 33-year-old Kante showcased his exceptional abilities, matching his previous standards. His tireless work rate and underrated passing skills were on full display as he controlled the midfield against Austria's physicality.

 

Deschamps praised Kante's contribution, highlighting his intelligence, technical prowess, and crucial role in the team's victory. Teammate Marcus Thuram lauded Kante's impact, emphasizing his disruptive presence in training and matches, asserting that having him on the team ensures success.

 

Taking over the captaincy after Kylian Mbappe's injury, Kante expressed his honor at the responsibility. Despite initial apprehension, he embraced the leadership role and contributed to France's successful defensive efforts against Austria.

 

While Deschamps was satisfied with the win, concerns arose over Mbappe's injury, suspected to be a broken nose. Deschamps acknowledged Mbappe's importance but expressed confidence in the team's ability to cope without him, underscoring the depth of the French squad.
