As a striker, when you start with a new team, people have high expectations."When you match those expectations, you are just happy and the goals continue to come."I hope he will have a great season because we need that." N'Golo Kante struck what proved to be the winner against his former club, prompting head coach Antonio Conte to hail his form as evidence that he is the top flight's best player. "He doesn't score much but when he does everyone is happy for him because he is working a lot for the team and giving everything," Drogba said of the midfielder."I was proud that he scored his goal. It was a very difficult game. It is always difficult to play at Leicester so I am happy with the result."</blockquote>
