‘I don’t recognize my club’ – Didier Drogba attacks Chelsea after they crashed out of the Champions League

Chelsea Football Club legend, Didier Drogba, has attacked Chelsea’s owners after the club crashed out of the Champions League recently.

Since the club appointed Frank Lampard, the club has not won a single match and their recent loss happened against Real Madrid courtesy of Rodrygo’s second-half brace.

Meanwhile, Drogba, who played such a vital role in former owner Roman Abramovich’s golden era, has slammed the new regime.

He said: “I knew this club with a certain class during the Abramovich era, but today I find it lacking. It’s very hard for me to see how they got rid of certain people.

“They should go back to the principles and values they had.

“I don’t recognize my club. It’s no longer the same club. There is a new owner and a new vision.

“Of course, we try to compare it with what happened during the (Roman) Abramovich era where a lot of players were brought in, but the decisions were very intelligent.

“Bringing in players like Petr Cech, Andriy Shevchenko, Hernan Crespo, Micheal Essien, Didier Drogba, Florent Malouda, and I go on. It was done to win titles.

“They are players with a certain experience. The strategy is now different; we bet on young players. But a dressing room of over 30 players is difficult [to manage] for a manager.

“They lack charismatic leaders. You need players that take on the game, that assume their responsibilities. You need a player that brings a bit of madness to the stadium.’

Despite their elimination from the Champions League, Interim Head Coach, Frank Lampard, said the club would recover from their latest set-back which leaves them with little to play for until the end of the season.

Lampard said: “The motivation has be playing for Chelsea, we have to be competitive in everything we do every day.

“People make a lot of this season because we have had so much success – but the reality is we will be back. It will take work and a bit of process.”
