N’Golo Kante is a French professional footballer born on March 29, 1991, in Paris, France. He wears the number 7 shirt as a defensive midfielder. He is currently a Chelsea player. He was an important part of Leicester City’s midfield when they won their first Premier League title. He then moved to Chelsea where he’s won a Premier League and the Champions League.
He is considered to be one of the most humble human beings in the footballing world, and he’s respected by rival fans as well.
Here are a few interesting and motivating quotes by the always-smiling Kante:
“My favorite thing is when we lift a trophy. Afterward, we can have a picture of us lifting a trophy. And that picture shows a lot of work, a lot of difficulties, and a lot of sacrifices together.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Win, win, win. We will fight for everything.”
Kante is an inspiration to many. He used to pick trash when he was a child to earn money, and now he’s considered the best midfielder in the world.
Kante has been integral for Chelsea’s 2021 run in the Champions League and even won the MOTM award four times in the knock-out stage, including both the semi-finals against Real Madrid and the final against Manchester City. He’ll now prepare for the Euros, where he’ll look to add a trophy to his list of achievements.
