And since it was live on national television, the French coach decided to stun his countrymen around the country with a well-known name – N’Golo Kanté!N’Golo Kanté will represent France at Euro 2024 💙 His last game for Les Bleus was in June 2022. pic.twitter.com/4dT7Hd8zjf— B/R Football (@brfootball) May 16, 2024 The French midfielder with Mali decent played for France in June 2022 (against Denmark) and wasn’t featured since, but Deschamps decided to give the 33-year-old Al-Ittihad player a call.”N’Golo Kanté was coming off a 22/23 season where he didn’t play much. He had a full season, certainly not in a European championship. But he has regained all his physical abilities. Through his experience and his experience, I am convinced that the French team will be better with him. He has regained his athletic abilities. He has played a lot of matches. We can discuss the specific intensity in Saudi Arabia. But he played more than 4,000 minutes during the season, that’s more than 40 matches. I don’t I have no doubts about what made him strong” said the French manager.𝑽𝒐𝒖𝒔 𝒍’𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒆𝒛, 𝒍𝒂 𝒗𝒐𝒊𝒍𝒂̀ 😍La liste de nos 2️⃣5️⃣ Bleus retenus pour l’Euro 👊#BleuCollectif | #EURO2024 pic.twitter.com/mjYTKouPRn— Equipe de France ⭐⭐ (@equipedefrance) May 16, 2024 Among the most prominent names missing from the squad are Moussa Diaby, Christopher Nkunku, Axel Disasi, Malo Gusto, Matteo Guendouzi, Jean-Clair Todibo, Mohamed Simakan, and Castelo Lukeba.
