DROGBA WANTS FINAL
Didier Drogba thinks that Chelsea can secure a victory in the Champions League Final and help to keep the 2008 demon to rest.
The Ivory Coast international Drogba performed quite admirably as Chelsea’s lone forward in the second leg of the semi-final match as they overcame the red card of John Terry and defeated the defending champion Barcelona to seal a place in the final match in which they will face Bayern Munich. The London club is just a match away to get the crown what they had lost to Manchester United on penalties 4 years ago. In that game, Drogba was sent off in the extra-time.
In an interview, he recently told that this is the 2nd chance and let see if they can secure a victory this time or not. He believes that it would be nice for the club as well as for the fans. They are going to win everything this time. He thinks that everyone deserves another chance. He further added that he understand everything and this helped him to grow up a little bit more.
Often Didier has been portrayed as a pantomime villain in his period at Chelsea and this was the same in the matches against Barcelona. The fans of the Catalan club felt that he was pretending and received him at the Nou Camp with jeers and chorus. He knows some people do not like Chelsea but that is what football is. They are in the final today and this is not revenge against anyone.

DROGBA UNHAPPY ON BENCH
Chelsea interim manager Roberto di Matteo has admitted that striker Didier Drogba was not too happy at being left out of the starting line-up in the match against Manchester City. Chelsea were coming into the match after the thrilling 5-2 FA Cup quarter-final match against Leicester City on Sunday. Fernando Torres finally broke his 24-hour goal rout in front of goal by scoring two goals and also setting up two others as well. Hence, Roberto di Matteo decided to start with Torres, which did not appear to please Drogba. The Ivorian came on in the match with 25 min left, but was not unable to prevent a 2-1 defeat at the hands of City.
Fernando Torres worked hard the match against Manchester City but without any fruits to his labour. However, he was crucial in helping Chelsea get the lead through a Gary Cahill goal in the second half. Following the goal, Chelsea decided to sit back even further and it did not suit Torres. Roberto di Matteo brought on Didier Drogba for Fernando Torres, which did not go well tactically as Chelsea conceded two goals in the final 15 min of the match to lose the match. Speaking after the match, di Matteo said that Drogba was not happy to sit on the bench after his inspirational performance against Napoli.
“I did speak to Didier and many other players. He was not happy, but okay,” Di Matteo said of Drogba. Looking ahead to the crucial encounter with Tottenham on Saturday, the manager said that he is looking forward to a victory and has a full strength squad to choose from. “I am in a good position to select from almost a full squad. It will need a team ethic to stop Gareth Bale, he is a terrific player, a strong player. It will not be a one-v-one situation,” said Di Matteo.
