Napoli did great things with Sarri and we hope to do even better under Ancelotti.

I love so much about Naples, but I had a few problems with all the lovely food when I arrived and put on weight!

The people of Naples are so welcoming and happy to see me. My family and my brothers feel at home here too, we've got the best and most encouraging fans.

Naples reminds me of Senegal, as when a foreigner arrives, everyone does their best to help him out.

I waited for a long time for a call-up for Les Bleus, but that call never came.

How can you make the people change? How can you reach them in their heart? I do not have the answers for this.

I think children understand the world better than adults do. Especially when it comes to how we treat other people.

Maybe some people look at me and just see a footballer, or a black footballer. But I am much more than this. I tell my best friends all the time, 'If you look at me as a footballer, and not as Little Kouli, and not as your friend, then I have failed in life.'

I realised some Lazio fans were making monkey noises whenever I touched the ball. It is impossible to know what you are supposed to do in this moment. There were times when I wanted to walk off the pitch to make a point, but then I told myself that this is exactly what they want.

I grew up in a town in France called Saint-Die, where there were many immigrants - Senegalese, Morrocans, Turks. My parents came from Senegal. My father came first, actually. He was a lumberjack. Yes, a real French lumberjack.

In short, with Sarri football is maths.

I believe we are all equal and that's a value I've had since I was little. It's something I can believe in and I can show that to everyone.

My parents were migrants and I experienced first hand the challenges they had to overcome. If they hadn't decided to seek a better life elsewhere, I could never have aspired to become the person I am now.

Whenever I got home, I'd hurry to complete my homework and then play football in front of our house.

I can still remember how my mother would shout my name out of the window because I was playing football late at night and had school to attend the next day.

There has been great progress made in the world, but the fact that we're still fighting against discrimination means we've gone backwards and that's a shame.

I grew up around a lot of foreign people - it was a big mix but there were never any problems.
