After helping Chelsea win the FA Cup, Ivorian striker Didier Drogba gave the strongest hint yet that he will be staying at Chelsea this summer and beyond. The captain of the Ivory Coast team, who has come under intense pressure and criticism over the last few months stated that with the newfound love and unity in the team, no one would want to leave 'We all like success and winning the FA Cup has reawakened the desire to keep winning', he said. 'we are a strong bunch of players and we have character, and that is what kept us where we are, with one item of silverware this season'. Drogba will happily go on to his home land and help them qualify for a second World Cup appearance in a row, with a good feeling that the Chelsea fraternity is warming up towards him 'My next task is to help Cote d'Ivoire qualify for South Africa', he said 'we owe it to the fans and the people who lost their lives in the recent stampede tragedy, and most of all, to the continent of Africa'. |
