Two African legends found the net in the
Premier League last weekend to
help their sides to valuable points. Ivory Coast icon Didier Drogba rolled back the years to open the
scoring against Manchester United
in Chelsea 's 1-1 draw with Louis van Gaal's side. At Turf Moor,
meanwhile Samuel Eto'o scored Everton 's first and last goal to help the Toffees to a 3-1 victory
over beleaguered Burnley. Over the subsequent days,
teammates of the pair have
spoken to the media about the
veterans' role for their
respective teams. Nemanja Matic
believes that Drogba will be a key figure for the Pensioners this
term, while Romelu Lukaku and
Leighton Baines have both spoken
about the positive impact Eto'o is
having in the Toffees dressing
room. In this feature, two of Goal
Nigeria's finest debate whether
the ex-Elephant or the former
Indomitable Lion will be the most
valuable performer for their
respective side this season.“Hopefully Drogba will be good for
the weekend [against Queens
Park Rangers] but we’ll have to
see cos right now his character is
stronger than his body,” – Jose
Mourinho was quoted as saying in a press conference by Goal. Didier Drogba returned home this
summer after spending two years
in China and Turkey, and though
his status as one of the all-time
greats for the London club never
waned, there were fears over his relevance at Stamford Bridge. Mourinho brought in Spanish
striker Diego Costa to provide
the much-needed goals, which let
the Blues down in their title
pursuit last season. And as far as
the Portuguese manager is concerned, the former Atletico
Madrid forward, who has taken
to life at the Bridge with relative
ease, is the main man at Chelsea. The Spanish striker is joint top-
goal-scorer in the league along
with Manchester City’s Sergio
Aguero on nine goals. In fact,
French international Loic Remy,
who signed from QPR, is arguably ahead of Drogba in the pecking
order.
