In our understanding, nowadays European professional players go to the Saudi league mainly for high salaries. Typically, they go to earn one last big paycheck towards the end of their careers, with their performance often not what it used to be. However, there are exceptions. For instance, French star Kanté, currently playing in the Saudi league, has maintained excellent form in the European Championship. It makes one wonder if he chose the wrong time to go to Saudi Arabia!
Kanté, a French star, is arguably the world's best defensive midfielder, renowned for his outstanding ability to intercept in midfield. Fans even joke, "There are no hurdles that can't be overcome; there's only Kanté who can't be overcome." This saying alone illustrates just how strong his abilities are. Many expected Kanté's move to the Saudi league to gradually fade him from the limelight. However, Kanté has consecutively won the MVP in two European Championship matches, proving to the world that he remains the strongest defensive midfielder.
In the recent key match between France and the Netherlands, Kanté contributed throughout with 2 interceptions, 3 key passes, and a passing accuracy of 90%, demonstrating his expansive influence on the game. At 33 years old, Kanté has shown that age is just a number, earning the MVP honor without showing any signs of age-related decline.
After the match, French coach Didier Deschamps highly praised Kanté's performance and noted that the level of the Saudi league is gradually approaching that of the top European leagues. Therefore, players like Kanté who move to Saudi Arabia can maintain their form and easily adjust upon returning to Europe. Moving forward, the French team is surely aiming for the championship, especially with Mbappé injured. Thus, Kanté's performance will play a crucial role in determining France's success. Let's witness how far Kanté can lead France! |
