Steve 10,227 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Didier Drogba has his sights firmly on UEFA Champions League glory this season. The Ivorian striker was sent-off in last season's final, which Chelsea lost to rivals Manchester United on penalties. Chelsea face Juventus this week in the first leg of their last-16 clash, but Drogba is already thinking about another final appearance. "My desire is greater than ever to win it. We lost two semi-finals and a final," he told The Sun. "It has been a difficult competition for us. Moscow is very difficult to forget, I still think about it. "The saddest part for me is the fans. They deserve to win the Champions League and this year we have to play the same way to get to the final but this time bring the trophy back to the Bridge. "I would love to travel back in time and not be sent off in Moscow. If I was on the pitch I would have taken a penalty. "I love taking penalties but sometimes you have to accept this is life."

Fulham Broadway 17,411 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Funny how he always gives these exclusives to the Sun. Ignoring the Sun made up bollox -I was impressed with his workrate at Villa, and can see him scoring goals again soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve 10,227 Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 Yep totally agree his work rate was great, he might not have made that much but he never gave up, he chased every ball down and he even went back to defend. If he does continue to do so im sure we will see him back on the score board soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungii 3 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I really liked the way he played in our last match...and when Guus came I said that he will bring back old Drogba who will score many goals in 1-0 wins(Guus is always playing like that)....=)).. Come on Drogs...one goal against Juve will be enaugh!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aesthetic Relic 301 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 "I would love to travel back in time and not be sent off in Moscow. If I was on the pitch I would have taken a penalty. Didnt he say not that long ago that he wished he had blattered Vidic instead of his girly slap ? The mans confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 The way he doesn't know if he wants to stay or go would be good evidence to support that theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misschief 24 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 He'll be denying it again next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve 10,227 Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 the way he has been playing as of late i think if he continues to keep focused and stops talking the usual crap which it looks like he has the last couple of weeks than i believe if he does too.
