EPL: Drogba reveals why current Chelsea gamers won Club World Cup
Chelsea legend, Didier Drogba has actually named one prize he regretted not winning while at Chelsea.
Drogba said he preferred to win the FIFA Club World Cup and was a feat he and his generation of Chelsea stars never attained.
Drogba, who won the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and Carling Cup throughout his days at Stamford Bridge, was in Dubai on Saturday to watch his previous club raise the FIFA Club World Cup.
“This was the ambition when I signed up with the club in 2004 and we began by winning the League, winning the FA Cup, winning the Carling Cup and all these domestic prizes,” the previous Ivorian striker informed press reporters after Chelsea’s triumph over Palmeiras on Saturday.
“Then we attempted and we handled to accomplish the one with the big ears (the Champions League). I believe the objective, the objective was to win the trophies.”
Drogba explained that apart from winning prizes for Chelsea, it was also of vital value for them to inspire the next generations of gamers at the club.
The Premier League legend stated gamers such as Callum [Hudson-Odoi] and Mason [Mount] and all the people who graduated from the youth team were inspired to win prizes.
“That’s precisely what they did, another Champions League and after that due to the fact that they are rivals they remember they lost the one, the FIFA Club World Cup, in 2012, so they understood how crucial this was for the club. Now I’m here and I’m celebrating with them also,” he said.
