I WILL CERTAINLY BE BACK

Cote
d’Ivoire
great
Didier
Drogba
has told
his
Chelsea
team-
mates
he Ȋ̝̊̅§ leaving
the
newly-
crowned
Champions
League
winners
because
he doesn’t fancy spending time on the
substitutes bench,France Football said Monday.
The 34-year-old – who scored the late equaliser
and then the decisive penalty in the shootout win
over German side Bayern Munich on Saturday – is
quoted by the magazine as saying he burst into
tears when he told the rest of the squad during
their open top bus parade with the trophy on
Sunday.
“We (he and his team-mates) will not be together
next season,” the magazine cited Drogba as
saying.
“As I have decided to leave, I wanted to tell them
to their faces.
“Only that I couldn’t do it. They made me break
down. Even if it has been three years that I have
said I wanted to leave, I found it hard to admit
that it was finished with me and the club.
“Especially that I had no great desire for this end.
But I don’t envisage sitting on the bench
watching others play at a time when the club is
looking at putting together a new team.”
