Didier Deschamps Appoints Kante as Captain

Didier Deschamps, the coach of the French national football team, has announced that N’Golo Kante will lead the team in its next match against Al-Ittihad national team in the European Nations League, tomorrow, Thursday. Kante, 33 years old, will wear the captain’s armband after Kylian Mbappe, the main captain of the French national team, was excluded from the team’s squad for its next two matches against the occupying entity and Italy.

Kante’s Leadership Experience

Deschamps has not yet appointed a permanent captain after Antoine Griezmann retired from international football last month. This means that Kante, the former Chelsea and Leicester City midfielder, will lead the team at the Stade International de France tomorrow. The French newspaper L’Equipe revealed, quoting Deschamps: “N’Golo is the leader, yes. He has experience. N’Golo is not the type who talks much. But he has always been a leader and a driving force, and enjoys the love and trust of the group.”

Deschamps’ Expectations

Deschamps added in his statements, which were reported by the British news agency (PA Media), “He has been a leader for years. But from knowing him, this will not change his style as a human being.” France occupies second place in the standings of Group A, with 9 points, one point behind Italy (the leader), which is visiting Belgium, which is in third place with four points tomorrow in the same round.

The Match Against Al-Ittihad

Although the occupying entity’s national team is at the bottom of the standings with no points after losing its first four matches, Deschamps realizes that it poses a threat to his team. Deschamps explained: “They were able to score in all four of their matches in the European Nations League. I expect it will be a difficult match.” The French coach confirmed, “They used different playing styles, but they always know how to get chances and score. They will definitely do their best tomorrow against us.”

Conclusion

In conclusion, N’Golo Kante will wear the captain’s armband for France in its next match against Al-Ittihad national team in the European Nations League. Kante’s leadership experience and Deschamps’ trust in him make him a suitable choice for the role. The match is expected to be a challenging one, but France is confident in its ability to secure a win.
