HATCHET MAN: Happy, injury-free and motivated - childish Drogba forgets to complain and hobble now G
If ever proof was needed about how moody and childish players can be, Didier Drogba has provided it this week.[LNB]Having fallen out with previous Chelsea [LNB]manager Luiz Felipe Scolari, the whining striker failed to perform when he was called upon.[LNB]The player who has at various times claimed he loved the Stamford Bridge club was a shadow of his former self and looked more like a liability than a threat on the pitch despite his £90,000-a-week wages.[LNB] [LNB]You've made me what I am: Didier Drogba has Guus Hiddink to thank for his great form - apparently[LNB]Then Guus Hiddink took charge and Didier Drogba finally found a new reserve of energy, determination and application. All those lingering injury problems which appeared intermittently disappeared.[LNB]And there has been no magic wand waved by the Dutchman. He says simply that Drogba has been highly motivated since he took charge.[LNB] More from Hatchet Man...
