France Midfielder N'Golo Kanté Talks about Paul Pogba
Kanté Gives His Thoughts on Pogba's Inclusion in the National Team
Following Paul Pogba's return to the French national team, N'Golo Kanté welcomed the midfielder's return, stating that it would be beneficial for both Pogba and the team as a whole. Pogba, who plays for Manchester United, missed last year's World Cup due to injury, but has since regained his form and earned a recall to the national team. Kanté, who is one of Pogba's closest friends, said that he was delighted to see his teammate back in the squad. “I’m very happy for him,” Kanté told reporters. “He’s a great player and he’s shown that he’s still one of the best in the world. It would be good for him and for us if he could come back and play well for the national team.”Pogba has been in fine form for Manchester United this season, scoring four goals and providing four assists in 12 Premier League appearances. He has also impressed for France, scoring two goals in two friendlies against Colombia and Uruguay.
Kanté’s comments echo those of France manager Didier Deschamps, who said that he was “counting on” Pogba to play a key role in the team’s upcoming Euro 2020 qualifiers against Moldova and Iceland.
Pogba’s return to the national team is a boost for France, who are looking to win their third European Championship title. The midfielder is a key player for Les Bleus, and his experience and quality will be invaluable in the upcoming qualifiers.
