Didier Drogba: I sacrifice myself for the good of Chelsea

09 September 2009 09:36
The Ivory Coast international moved to Stamford Bridge from Marseille in 2004 and has played under Jose Mourinho, Avram Grant, Luiz Felipe Scolari, Guus Hiddink and Carlo Ancelotti. Following the departure of Mourinho, Drogba was consistently linked with moves away from Chelsea, and has even publically declared a determination to one day return to Marseille. However, Drogba says the appointment of Ancelotti has restored his moral at Chelsea and, by the looks of it, his own feeling of self-worth. Drogba said: "I often sacrifice myself for the good of the team. I don't look at my scoring statistics. Have you ever seen any other great strikers do as much defending as I do? "We are very confident and relaxed as well. Our team is very solid and physically very strong. "Carlos Ancelotti is highly respected here, and the players regard him as one of us. That's why I consider the spirit within the camp to be really good."
