Cards Quote by N'Golo Kante
“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. That is why my national teammates have called me a cheat. They are not completely right, as I am not the only person to have done it. But they are not wrong either.”
