N'Golo Kanté's Impact on France for UEFA Euro 2024 - Sports

N'Golo Kanté's comeback to the France national football team for the upcoming UEFA Euro 2024 has surprised many fans. After playing for Saudi side Al Ittihad, Kanté is back in the spotlight, with Didier Deschamps looking for a balanced team for the tournament. Despite being overshadowed by Kylian Mbappé, Kanté is determined to prove his worth once again.

I have never seen anything like it, its horrible, its horrible, we cant play anymore, we cant play in training anymore,

joked Marcus Thuram about Kanté's impact on the team. His return has brought fear to his teammates, with Thuram mentioning that having Kanté on their side guarantees a win. His presence on the field is described as being equivalent to having three players in one.

Kanté initially made his mark during Euro 2016 and played a crucial role in France's journey to the final. His partnership with Paul Pogba in the midfield was vital in securing France's victory in the 2018 World Cup. However, a hamstring injury during his time at Chelsea affected his chances of playing in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. His move to Al-Ittihad seemed to signal the end of his international career, but Deschamps decided to bring him back for Euro 2024.

For those who had doubts about his abilities and the intensity of play, he is still at the same level,

Deschamps commented on Kanté's current form. As France prepares to face Austria in their first match, Kanté's presence in the midfield will be crucial in maintaining balance and control. Despite questions about his age and physical abilities, his teammates like Olivier Giroud remain confident in his skills.

The upcoming match against Austria, coached by Ralf Rangnick, will test France's resilience against a team known for their aggressive playing style. With Kanté's expertise in intercepting turnovers, France will look to capitalize on Austria's high-energy approach. While some may doubt Kanté's endurance, his teammates continue to praise him for his consistency and impact on the field.

NGolo is incredible, Thuram emphasized, highlighting Kanté's reputation as one of the best midfielders in the world. As France gears up for Euro 2024, Kanté's return to the national team has reinvigorated the squad and raised hopes for a successful campaign. With his unparalleled work rate and defensive skills, Kanté is set to play a key role in France's pursuit of another championship title.
