Didier Drogba feels his decision to miss Chelsea's pre-season campaign to concentrate on getting get fully fit has now been justified.

"I feel stronger now," said Drogba.

"I am really happy that in July I took the right decision not to go to pre-season because I needed to rest.

"I needed to work on my knee to come back strong.

"That was the sacrifice I made at the beginning of the season and it's paying dividends now."

They spoke about this on Soccernet, and to be honest, I think it's stupid. Pre-Season was so long ago it's not going to make any difference. If he was injured then there is no point in him doing the pre-season. Also, we all saw how bad he was under Scolari, according to his statement, he should have played well then too. The reason he is doing so well now is because of whatever Hiddink did to him. Pre-season has nothing to do with this.
