In the fifth round of Group D of the European Group Stage of the World Cup Qualifiers, France defeated Ukraine 4-0 and secured a spot in the World Cup in advance. The 34-year-old Kante started in the midfield and still performed perfectly and was everywhere.

In this game, Kanter sent 1 assist, 1 successful pass, 104 touches of the ball, only lost the ball 7 times, and the passing success rate was nearly 95%. In terms of defense, he also had 6 successful confrontations, 1 successful aerial challenge, 1 interception and 4 steals.

Kante joined Saudi Arabia's Jeddah United two years ago. Fans thought he would fade out of the mainstream. However, now his value has dropped to 5 million euros with age, but he is still the main force of the French team and his performance is stable.
