For his return to the French team, two years after his last selection against Denmark (1-2, June 3, 2022), N’Golo Kanté quickly found his bearings, Wednesday evening, against Luxembourg (3-0). It must be recognized that the rhythm of this first preparation match for the Blues for the Euro (June 14-July 14) should not have taken him too far away from that which he faces on a daily basis in the Saudi Championship, a few degrees less all the same. But the defensive midfielder did what Didier Deschamps expected of him: he was rigorous in his placement, lively in his bursts, accurate in his passes. “Equal to himself,” agreed the coach. That was all it took for his return to the Blues to go smoothly. And quietly.
