There's a reason why N'Golo Kante is one of the most liked personalities in world football.

Not too long ago, Kante wasn't even playing regular first team football in the French second division, but his quality eventually shone through and now he's many people's favourite player because, well, he smiles loads and is really humble about life.

He might be one of the best holding midfielders in the world, but his antics off the pitch give us more reason to love the guy. I mean, he rocks up to training in a Mini Cooper S every day.

But when he's not driving his Mini Cooper, things can go wrong - just take a look at the below video (42 seconds in)

Kante turned up late to France's Clairefontaine training facility because of his train.

But because he's N'Golo Kante, the man just stood and smiled at manager Didier Deschamps and well, all was forgiven.

Dechamps then told the Chelsea midfielder,'"But N'Golo, you are faster than the train." to which Kante laughed. Those around Kante embraced him and the rest is history.

To be fair, It's actually a miracle that Kante actually took the train to training full stop.

In a story that is typically brilliant of the French midfielder, he once wanted to cover the distance from his house to Cobham training ground without the help of a car, according to The Guardian's Daniel Taylor.

The report revealed that the 27-year-old had to be persuaded to buy a car when he first moved to England because he thought he would just run to training everyday.

What a bloke. In another clip in the above YouTube video, Kante was caught cheating at a game of UNO (5m20seconds in)

Basically, he got away with it because he was being N'Golo Kante and Kylian Mbappe couldn't stop laughing.

How can you not love this guy?
