Chelsea FC legend Drogba, who played such a key role in the Roman Abramovich’s golden era, has fired a verbal assault at the Todd Boehly led administration following recent awful results and especially the club not qualifying for the Champions League football next season.
‘I knew this club with a certain class during the Abramovich era, but today I find it lacking. It’s very hard for me to see how they got rid of certain people,’ said the Ivorian.
‘They should go back to the principles and values they had. Bringing in players like Petr Cech, Andriy Shevchenko, Hernan Crespo, Michael Essien, Didier Drogba, Florent Malouda, and I go on. It was done to win titles.’
‘They are players with a certain experience. The strategy is now different; we bet on young players. But a dressing room of over 30 players is difficult for a manager.’
‘They lack charismatic leaders. You need players that take on the game, that assume their responsibilities. You need a player that brings a bit of madness to the stadium.’
The West London club look a far cry from the days of the likes of John Terry, Essien and other heroes. The fans are extremely worried about the future of the club with how it is faring at the moment. Chelsea are now knocked out of every cup tournament and in a stale position in the English Premier League.
