Bixente Lizarazu: “I maintain that he is not in a very competitive championship but he is a very professional player, who prepares very well”

In the show
Téléfoot on TF1, Bixente Lizarazuthe former international defender of
Girondins de Bordeauxspoke about Blues midfielder N’Golo Kanté, who wore the captain’s armband. He will be 34 years old next March.

« If he will still be there at the 2026 World Cup? I maintain that he is not in a very competitive championship but he is a very professional player, who prepares very well. So if he doesn’t have any injuries, he can be ready. If we look at his real assessment of the Euro, he had two very good matches at the start. Afterwards, he was a little more neutral. »

He also spoke about the attacker Randal Cole Muanitop scorer for the Blues in 2024 with 6 goals, but who is struggling with his club PSG.

« If he can be this new player that the Blues are waiting for? We hope so, in any case he has confidence with Didier Deschamps. Each time he scores or performs well. I think the relationship with the coach has a lot to do with it. So I hope that will be the case while waiting for Kylian to come back. If he has to leave PSG in the winter transfer window to play? Last month I think he played 43 minutes. He doesn’t have the card with Luis Enrique. He insisted, it’s his second season. For me in fact it’s very simple, he has to leave, he has to find a club, a coach who will give him this confidence because he has been in this instability for too long. You’re always waiting for a positive relationship with a coach, and when you don’t play, obviously there’s only frustration. After a while it’s difficult to bear and quite frankly, you shouldn’t hang around. So I think he needs to leave. »
