Contributes on both ends
Kone had one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Friday's 4-1 victory over Norway.
Analysis: Kone registered one shot, one key passes and two tackles (one won) across his 90 minutes in Friday's 4-1 win over Norway, providing the defensive structure alongside Aurelien Tchouameni that allowed France's attacking players to express themselves freely against a heavily rotated Norwegian side that relied on long throws and counter-attacks to generate its rare threatening moments. The Roma midfielder completed 51 passes and contributed consistently to France's possession dominance, and his disciplined presence in the defensive midfield role gives coach Didier Deschamps a reliable option to screen the backline as the tournament moves into its knockout phase against more dangerous opponents.
Subdued display against Verona
Kone (thigh) had two clearances and eight completed passes and committed one foul in 18 minutes in Sunday's 2-0 victory over Verona.
Analysis: Kone returned from a one-game absence but didn't get the nod and didn't do a lot during a short stint off the bench. He closes his solid campaign with two goals, three assists, 27 chances created and 52 tackles in 36 games. He'll play in the World Cup with France.
