Fresh off winning the World Cup with France last month, N’Golo kante returned to help Chelsea start the new season in fine form, with a 3-0 away victory against Huddersfield.

Kante is determined to achieve success with the new manager, and hinted that he has been discussing with Maurizio Sarri how to move the team forward.

“Now the system is ­something ­different, especially the way we play now.

“So, even during the ­holidays, we were thinking and talking about how to adapt. It will require a lot of sacrifice from us all, so that is why I have to continue ­moving forward as a player.

“I have worked with ­different managers in the past and different systems.

“The best way to always keep your position (in the team) is to ­remain focused and have the same attitude towards ­everyone.

“So that is what I am going to try to do again this season.”
