Didier Drogba has demanded that he starts to receive more respect claiming he is "better than Thierry Henry".
Drogba is the Premierships joint top scorer with eight goals so far this season, and told the Daily Mirror that "in real life, especially this season, Im better than him [Henry]."
The strikers comments are in response to a computer game which rates Frenchman Henry as being a better player than the Ivory Coast international.
Having recently signed a new four-year contract at Stamford Bridge, Drogba was expected to become a sideline figure after the arrival of Andriy Schevchenko from AC Milan.
However, Drogba feels that the Ukranians presence has had a positive effect on his own form.
"His arrival has freed me. Thanks to his manoeuvres I get the space I need to attack the goal" said Drogba.
"Andriy is a footballer of the highest playing intellect and has a superb feeling for where to run and when, to make life easier for his partners and to create problems for the opposition."
