Lagos, Nigeria

Big gist don land as N’Golo Kanté don kpa back to France’s national team after one long year wey him no dey part of the squad. You fit remember say dem usually dey call the position wey him dey play ‘The Makélélé Role’, and na im be the original bad guy for dat role since Claude Makélélé days. But e be like say dem don summon am again as France dey prepare for dem final World Cup qualifiers against Ukraine and Azerbaijan.

Now, Kanté dey play for Al-Ittihad for Saudi Pro League, and no be small matter – the guy dey enter twilight of him career as him go soon turn 35 before World Cup go start next summer. But wetin we go talk? France no get any other person wey fit do wetin Kanté dey do like am. Na so e be

As e stand, some of dem top players like Adrien Rabiot and Paul Pogba dey sit down for injury bench, and na im make the national team get wahala for midfield. Them need win for dis first match to secure their space inside World Cup, and dem no wan carry last!

France coach Didier Deschamps don talk say, “I dey contact Kanté. He dey play well, and I dey follow am. When I call am, e no just dey come to fill spot; he go get role to play,” Na wetin Deschamps talk about Kanté wey don carry plenty experience, and na him dey sprinkle some sense for dat midfield.

But no be everybody dey happy as dem dey drag Deschamps for him decision. Some fans don vex say he no fit upgrade the team since e don dey hold the coaching chair for long. E don set to step down after the 2026 World Cup, but some fans dey shout say make e just pack him load since. E still dey try include young blood like Crystal Palace talent Michael Olise, but as dem say, old habits die hard.

If we dey reason am, Kanté na the real MVP wey make France shine for World Cup 2018. The way him dey hustle for midfield, e be like sey na two players dey play one position! Without am, no gree say dem go win that cup.

Now, as France dey try to find younger replacement wey go fit fill Kanté shoe, wetin dem don see? Tchouaméni fit try small, but e no dey fast like Kanté. Others like Eduardo Camavinga dey try but him still dey learn the ropes.

If Kanté fit juggle him old bones come World Cup next summer, e go fit carry dem team waka enter finish line for Deschamps era. Na him last dance so, make we see wetin go happen. The World Cup no go be the same without wetin dis guy fit bring to di table, and him fans dey pray make e deliver one last miracle. Fingers crossed!
