N'Golo Kante

I play with team-mates and when the team is good you have a good result.

I try to speak with my team-mates a lot because I need them everyday.

I've seen new experiences and new challenges every year. I take them step by step.

I am how I am. I cannot explain it well, but I don't feel the nicest person, on the football pitch or in life, I'm just myself.

I have always been discreet in my life.

I was at Boulogne, in the second team - the sixth, then the fifth division. I wasn't professional, so I kept studying because I wasn't sure if I would be able to make a living as a footballer.

We are lucky to be playing football for a living. For me, this is what I have always wanted to do.

To win the World Cup in our colours was beyond my dreams and something I will never, ever forget.

I am lucky to get the ­opportunity to play for France and that alone is a huge motivation for me, whenever I go on the pitch."

It is true that I receive a lot of praise and that is flattering. But I try not to let it affect me.

At first, I was playing in front of 10 people in a park, then 1,000, then 10,000, then 80,000 and you are on television. I have done it step by step, so it is not a problem. There is no lack of confidence to be on the field, in front of many, many people.

I think Eden did an amazing job, had an amazing time with Chelsea.
