In the warm-up match for the national team in March, the most exciting match was undoubtedly the match between Spain and Brazil. The match at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium saw the two teams go head-to-head and end in a 3-3 draw. Rodri scored twice from the penalty spot and Olmo scored from the spot. For Brazil, Rodrygo opened the scoring and the 17-year-old Endrick scored in front of the Real Madrid crowd and Paqueta equalised from the penalty spot.
It was a game full of elements, and the two giants gave the fans a high-level matchup, and the process of the game was evocative. Regarding this match, from another point of view, the decision of European teams is different when it comes to the use of players in the Saudi Super League. N'Golo Kante left Europe and was abandoned, but Portugal did the opposite: Saudi Super League players became treasures.
In recent years, Saudi Arabia has vigorously developed football, focusing on the golden dollar policy, and recruiting a large number of European stars, which has made the Saudi Super League gain more attention. After coming to the Saudi league, the income of players skyrocketed, but European clubs lost talent one after another, and the national team was also affected. Because the most direct reason for players to join the Saudi Super League is to get a big contract, but the level of competition is difficult to guarantee, and the mentality of the players will also change, will they still work hard? This is a question.
When it comes to dealing with Saudi Super League players, the French team has a resolute attitude of resistance. N'Golo Kante is only 33 years old and has been an absolute thigh in the team at Jeddah United this season, but he was dropped by France. Since N'Golo Kante arrived in the Saudi Premier League, he has not been called up for the French national team. Is France's midfield good? Don't need Kante anymore? Not really. The current shortcomings of the French team are the midfield, Tchouameni, Rabiot, Camavinga, Fofana, Emery, and Guendouzi are weak in the midfield, and the warm-up matches in March 0-2 Germany and 3-2 Chile illustrate the problem. The French team still need Kante's strength, and Kante is more practical than the likes of Guendouzi.
On the other hand, the Spanish team and the Portuguese team reuse the Saudi Super League players. Riyadh victory central defender Laporte is currently the absolute main force of the Spanish team. Riyadh Victory captain Cristiano Ronaldo continues to be a competent starter in the Portuguese team, knowing that Ronaldo is 39 years old. In addition, Otavio of Riyadh Victory and Neves of Riyadh Crescent were also reused by the Portuguese team.
We can only say that France, Spain and Portugal are all going to the extreme, France should give Kante some chances, Spain can rely less on Laporte, after all, he can't play at the top level at the club and his form is difficult to maintain, and Portugal is the same. What do you think about this?
