It's always special to come to a new club.
— N'Golo Kante
We have to work together for the good of the team, for trying to win games. That is what we train to do.
Football is like this: after every game you have to do better in the next and the season is the same.
My English is improving because I learnt it in one year at Leicester, before it was just in school and on holiday, but I have to learn more, I don't understand it all.
I saw Claude Makelele play in the French national team but before when he played at a club I didn't watch him a lot.
I came from amateur football.
The professional world makes a lot of young amateurs dream, and to go from one to the other can inspire others, like me, when I heard stories of Didier Drogba and Adil Rami, who went from being amateurs to becoming pros.
I give my best for my team-mates. At Leicester it was like that and everyone was focused for the title and we did it. Here at Chelsea it's the same.
We seem to have some quite good 'FIFA 17' players at Chelsea.
I play with some talented players like Cesc Fabregas, Nemanja Matic and Nathaniel Chalobah. They have different styles and I can learn from everyone.
No, I don't think I'm especially one of the best players in the league.
I came to Chelsea to work, to keep learning and to keep improving.
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.
I try to speak with my team-mates a lot because I need them everyday.
I chose Chelsea because I spoke with the manager here and when I did that, I felt the capacity of the manager and that is why I made my decision. And of course I like Premier League football and that is why I decided to stay in the Premier League.
We are lucky to be playing football for a living. For me, this is what I have always wanted to do.
I have always been discreet in my life.
It is always special to play against my old team.
The way we stop Mesut Ozil is as a team. He's a good player but only as a team can we stop him.
Like everyone I am sometimes tired, but if I need to run I will try to run.
Playing in the Champions League is a big dream of mine. When you are a player and have a chance to play in it, it's a good thing.
There have been a lot of French midfielders at Chelsea, but they did it their way and I do it my way and I hope I can do good things at Chelsea.
I grew up just as my friends did until 19 before leaving home, and it's because of that I am who I am now.
My first season in English football was very special. I hope to go on to achieve even more as a Chelsea player.
I play with team-mates and when the team is good you have a good result.
I need to keep improving tactically, defensively and offensively for the last pass, the last shot.
I sometimes should be more decisive.
I try not to get carried away and to only focus on the team goals to keep winning, to keep performing to the best I can.
It is good to win awards but the most important is to win together.
I got my qualification in accountancy, but now I prefer to concentrate on football.
When you play cards and find yourself in a tricky situation, you'll use some little strategies - and that is what I have done from time to time. That is why my national teammates have called me a cheat. They are not completely right, as I am not the only person to have done it. But they are not wrong either.
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.
Whatever you did in the past is quickly forgotten.
I am not a superstar or an ego. I am just the same as I always was: Someone who plays football.
I'm happy to help the team win.
It's a huge honour to be named player of the year... and I want to thank everyone who voted for me.
I think what is important to fight for winning the ball it is the spirit. I have had that since I started playing football, so it is the spirit but I need to be fit for doing it.
I can't be the same as another player. I am just my way and I will try to improve on that at Chelsea.
With Arsenal there was an interest but not a big as other clubs. That is why I didn't go to Arsenal and went to Chelsea.
My failures were something for me - my first contact with professional football. Though it didn't go all that well, it's not a regret, it's just like that. But looking back, those failures helped me consider football differently, consider the professional game differently.
The opportunity to work with Antonio Conte, a brilliant coach, and some of the best players in the world was too good to turn down.
I know how it feels to handle the pressure and keep working for the win.
I am not one of the best midfielders in the world or something like that.
I think I can improve in my attacking role, I can do more.
We have some great players at Chelsea and the most important is the goal to win.
Among the clubs that most wanted to recruit me were Marseille and Leicester.
I can talk with my team-mates, understand them and it's better for understanding the coaching staff and the game itself. If someone's making a run and they shout for the ball, I know now.
I've never been someone who loves a car and when I was young I didn't have the ambition of a car or something like that.
There are millions of people out there, who every day want to get the opportunity to do the work we are doing and it's a short career. That is why I give it my all at every given opportunity.
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.
