2 of Saudi Pro league players won Player of the match yesterday , Ngolo Kante and Stanciu i'm very surprised that this guy is playing in a Saudi team that finished 10th last season Damac , it's not a top 8 team even there and ofc they don't offer huge money

Stanciu's contract was once reported as 2 million euros a year...it's not Mbappe-like, but I think 99,9% of professional football players in Europe alone would absolutely dream of that

It was correct, most likely because a lot of people complained

Compared to other players in Saudi league whom receive 100m in the season it's nothing.  He looks like a player that is traveling alot , he played in other Saudi team Alahli Jeddah in 2019 when they were not offering 1/10 of current salaries . I'm only surprised that a guy with his talent playing in a very weak Saudi team , maybe after the Euros he will have something bigger

What surprised me yesterday also is the performance of Ngolo Kante whom had a very bad season with Ittihad Jeddah and unless it was Deschamps whom has his men of trust always despite of their performance like Mbappe , Pogba , Giroud,  Kante , Rabiot , Theo Hernandez , Pavard , Griezmann , he wouldn't have definitely made it to the squad , he is also 33 , yet he was the best player on the pitch yesterday , personally I wouldn't have benched Cammavinga for him or for Rabiot ofc , but looks like Deschamps has got a point

He is from my city Bahia Blanca, the only international referee from here, a good match to make his debut

That kinda follows the first choice for Rapallini at the last Euro (Ukraine vs N.Macedonia) - a tricky game between South/Eastern nations of Europe.

 

I also think Tello could get two group stage games + one knockout phase like Rapallini in 2021 - since he won't be doing Copa America.
