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.

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. N’Golo Kante
I’ve seen new experiences and new challenges every year. I take them step by step. N’Golo Kante

I think I can improve in my attacking role, I can do more. N’Golo Kante
