Diego Costa and N’Golo Kante only corresponded briefly at Chelsea, but boy was it a glorious time.
Kante was brought in to play for Antonio Conte, and he gave the team the engine it needed. They ended up winning the title that year, with both players playing an important role.
Their personalities couldn’t have been much more different, and Diego Costa just told a perfect story to illustrate that.
Diego Costa – "At Chelsea, I would try to hug Kante joking. He's really shy."
"I would go all naked in the bath and be like: 'Kante, give me a hug!' and he would be all 'No. no, Diego'.
"He doesn't even take off his underwear to take a shower."

The ever modest Kante wouldn’t even take off his underwear in the shower, while one can Costa enjoying running around with nothing on.
He would apparently run up to the prudish Kante and try to hug him – tackle out – and make the shy Kante as uncomfortable as possible.
We can imagine the scene perfectly – slightly uncomfortable, but quite funny. As long as it was all in the name of good fun, we can’t see much wrong with it. If only Costa had stayed at the club a little longer.
