I can always improve. Maybe score more goals and more assists, always help the team the best I can.

Sometimes I can help the team to score, to make the last pass or to get more chances and try to score. Maybe I can do this more often.

For two or three years I played on the wing, when I went to Boulogne in 2011, I started playing in the middle as a central midfielder.

To be honest, it was only when I was first in the French Ligue 1 that my manager and other people started to say, 'Okay, N'Golo recovers a lot of balls.' Before that, I didn't consider it to be my job in the team.

To represent one's own country is one of the biggest achievements a footballer can get.

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

The Premier League is a competition that suits me, which is perhaps more praise to myself. It's more direct, more rhythmic than Ligue 1.

I am happy to make my debut in the Champions League.

I play football and I want to be considered as a footballer.

I don't want people paying too much attention about what I am outside of football, what I'm doing, and asking: 'Who is N'Golo?'

Ask me about my football, and not too much else. I just want to be a player among the players.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
