Yeah it must be that, Ngolo pretty much never said anything publicly when he was still playing in the prem.

yeah, he managed to have a sly dig at Ligue 1’s best team, PSG who are Qatari owned too. Double bonus coming Kante’s way

How could he know? Last time he played in Ligue 1 was almost 10 years ago.

Anyway I don’t wanna any player who play in this league in our NT. He is 32 years old it’s time to move on.

I think at least give him till the euros before giving him the shove. Similar to Henderson, playing in Saudi league is a massive downgrade but their skills don’t dissappear overnight. It’s not like they are 38 or something. Perhaps someone in the locker room with veteran presence coming off the bench.

You seem to be under a mistaken impression that you get a say in who gets select into the NT. Such an unfortunate misconception to have.

One of the best midfielders of his generation probably knows a thing or two about football you’d think especially having played in the league.

Surely, Deschamps is taking notes.

Being a great footballer doesn’t always translate to giving sensible opinions on football. We’ve seen this time and time again

Oh, I guess he’s able to make a precise ranking of all leagues in the planet, then.

Even those he didn’t play in in the last 10 years.

K how would you know anything close to the quality of either league then if the criteria is how recently you played in the league?

It might feel like, but that’s not his intention, quite the opposite. He (or at least his entourage) are campaigning for his return to the NT (good luck with that!) and their argument is that the Saudi League is a high level league, so N’Golo still has the goods to play with Les Bleus.

Tbh he said the top 5 matches which I don’t find to be too out of pocket overall. The Al Hilal squad would do damage in Europe if they had the right coaching and right complementary players

This marketing campaign through the players is the most telegraphed and obvious thing of all time. Go on then Koulibaly, you’re up next week - say the atmosphere is equal to European Top 5 leagues.
