Friends off the pitch?

[Wilson 358]

So who's friends off the pitch? I know Lampsy and JT are. And I have heard Drogba and Anelka are?

[Term-X 7,891]

i'm sure they are all friends to some degree, when your being paid a shit load of money to do what you love it's hard not to get along.

....

although malouda & drogba spend time together outside the training ground, i remember reading an interview and malouda was talking about being in drogba's house and didier showing him pictures of the jose' title winning years.

Yeah, I know lol. Just I hear a lot about it. Dunno why I am bothered but there are players on some teams that dont get along at all lol. It's just cool to see players have a bond of the pitch.

I can honestly say that Chelsea's squad looks alot more like a family than any other... Ballack and Drogba look to be very close friends...

i doubt that.. otherwise he would be publicly calling for the renewal of his contract, like terry has been doing with joe cole & anelka's contracts.

The goalkeepers and Christophe are all really, really close and I know Zhirkov and Ivan have spent a lot of time together because Ivan is teaching him English.

[Morpheus 8]

anelka & malouda must get along well considering they are both french and play for tha national team.

Lol...Ballack just stands there as if nothings going on around him. (in the video)

Drogba and Malouda

JT and Lamps

Ivan and Zirkov

I've always thought Kalou was close to Didier,they're both from Ivory coast so they got more things to share,same for our french speaking players like Essien and Malouda.

I Remember reading a bit about Drogba taking Kakuta under his wing

[Milan 17,854]

Kalou and Mikel definitely

[NattyBlue 44]

^ I can Imagine their convo's now

Drogba: Soon Gael, you will destroy arsenal like I do, I "Drogba" people...You will "Kak" on people

Kakuta: Indeed

the age difference is too great for them to be friends, although i'm sure didier is more of a father figure type showing him the ropes etc.

Didier is actually very good with the younger lads and definately acts as a mentor to them more than most of the players do the young players look up to him and he treats them well rather than seeing himself above them, Lamps and JT are similar in this respect.

[Kostas 1,468]

Yet another reason to admire DD.

Didn't Essien run towards Mikel after his wondergoal against the Catalans last year? I guess they're close too.

Yeah, Didier can be a pain in the ass sometimes but as Lampsy said, he does it for the interest of the team and he is just hungry lolol! Love that though. But credit to Ballack doing the right thing, just ignoring him lol! Yeah, Drogs is a great role model, I heard he is also doing a lot with Kalou to help him.

Nah mate, that was one game and they where hugging at full time. When Scolari got sacked he named Drogba and Ballack as the prime culprits. You don't go through something like that with people you don't trust. Also if you look at nearly everytime Drogba scores. Ballack is always one of if not the first to run over and Congratulate him. About the Contracts, That's not up to the players. But i can guarentee Ballack will be in a Chelsea Jersey next season.. You can mark my words... He's worth more to the club as a Poster boy than a player. He sells jerseys, therefore he stays...

Yes he did. I would imagine all the African players would share a special bond.
