The now Chelsea legend Didier Drogba has been talking about his decision to leave the Champions League winning side on a high after playing such a brilliant part in winning both trophies this season, and he says their is absolutely no animosity between himself and the club he loves so much.
Even at 34 years of age, Drogba is certainly not the type of player that needs stuff like Maxiraw whey protein isolate to help build up his muscles and he will be more than strong enough to keep banging in goals for a good few more years yet, but he insists that his reason for leaving Chelsea is nothing to do with getting one more big pay day.
“To stay here was not a question of money, as people claimed.” Drogba said. “I’ve always been happy with what I have here with contracts and my family were happy.
“It’s not like they don’t want me any more. We sat down all together and the boss [Roman Abramovich], Ron Gourlay [chief executive] and everyone on the board respected my decision. I know what I did for them and they know what they did for me.
“I will take time to make the right decision. My wife and I will go and relax a bit, even though there are national team games. I won’t play for another English club. I owe too much allegiance to Chelsea.
“My blood is blue. I will really miss the fans but they will always be in my heart.”
There have been many rumours that Drogba will join Nicolas Anelka at Shanghai Shenhua, but he has no intention of worrying about the future just yet as he is still savouring that fantastic night in Munich: “Obviously I played with him for many years. It was difficult to see him leave but that’s part of football and life. He is happy there. He is trying to do his best to help the club. But I really want to keep thinking about what happened on Saturday rather than talking about China, America, wherever.
“Since I was a kid I was dreaming of this kind of moments, the scenario was just perfect. It’s like a movie. Even today I still want to be in Munich in that stadium, cheering and celebrating with the fans. It was too quick the first time. I wanted it to be longer.”
It was certainly a game and a night that us Chelsea fans will never forget, and Drogba played a massive part in that achievement. He will never be forgotten as long as all the Chelsea fans who watched that game are still alive.
Long Live King Drogba!
