Yoan Gouffran: "Was there any jealousy in the changing-room with French players? Not at all. Everyone was happy to see us coming.
"In France, it is different. When you arrive, you can feel some jealousy and competition.
"I made efforts for that. At Manchester City, I was substituted at half-time because we got a red card. I started the next four matches on the bench.
"But I went on working hard. And nowadays, I am playing as a left midfielder. That is my new position.
"The game is much faster than in France.
"You make a lot of runs. I often end the match having run 11 or 12 kilometres. I am not used to that.
"I end up limping, with cramps, but the fans like that.
"The first time I heard my name chanted by the fans, I didn''t understand the words. They chant after a goal or even after a run.
"Having your own chant, it is just magnificent. Even in our own clubs in France, we never got such respect. I was unknown when I came. But I made a name for myself."
