Drogba: I'm back on track
-
Didier Drogba has declared he feels valued by Chelsea’s new boss Guus Hiddink.
Ivory Coast international Drogba appears to have convinced new manager Hiddink to give him the responsibility to lead The Blues’ attack, with the striker starting the last two games.
The former Marseille man has claimed that he never lost his goalscoring talent, but just needed to be shown more confidence to make the most of his potential.
Drogba bagged a massive winner in the narrow Champions League victory against Juventus and he has expressed his joy to be back on track.
The African has also said that he expects to hit peak form in the near future.
“You haven’t lost your Drogba, he was just not playing (laughs),” Drogba said at Stamford Bridge.
“Being judged when you are playing is much easier, and to the contrary when you are not playing you can be criticised.
“At the moment I feel good when I’m on the pitch and I make the most of those priceless moments.
“The truth is that the coach relies on me, which is a massive psychological boost for a striker.
“Physically, I’m not ready yet, but what I need to do is play to be back in a good form.”
