Didier Drogba Confirms Chelsea Exit' by otumfour(m): 8:18pm On May 21, 2012 |
Didier Drogba has confirmed he plans to quit Chelsea following his Champions League final heroics, according France Football magazine. The striker has been quoted saying he informed his team-mates of his decision during the club's open-top bus parade on Monday after leading them to the greatest moment in their history on Saturday night. "We will no longer be together next season," the 34-year-old said in quotes attributed to France Football magazine. Drogba, who has reportedly already agreed a deal to join Shanghai Shenhua when his Chelsea contract expires this summer, is said to have admitted he struggled to get the words out and burst into tears. He went on to say: "As I decided to leave, I wanted to tell them straight in the eye. Except that I could not do it. They made me crack. "Even though it's been three years since I said I wanted to leave, I find it hard to admit that it's over with this club - especially as I did not feel like this. "But I could not see myself sitting on the bench to watch others play when the club plans to set up a new team. "So that's it - I am preparing for my leap into the unknown. It's going to be another adventure." source: http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/21052012/58/premier-league-drogba-confirms-chelsea-exit.html 1 Like

Why go china? I strongly believe Drogba has still got a lot to offer to any team. He is my player of the season in all competitions. V.p was effective, but Drogba was efficient. |
