Chelsea ace
Didier Drogba says retirement is
the furthest thing from his mind.
The 32 year-old wants five more years at the top of the game
after his hat-trick against West Bromwich
Albion.
"I am better at 32 than I was six years ago, when I came here,"
said Drogba. "I am scoring more goals, I am more calm, more relaxed
on the pitch and it helps a lot.
"If I keep playing in a team like this I can plan maybe five
more years. I was only 25 when I started at the highest level, so I
feel young. I still love the pitch, running. I don't count the runs
I make. Maybe in a year or two it will be different."
He has passed Jimmy Greaves in the Chelsea charts as he moved to 134 goals from 261
games.
"He is a big legend and I am really proud," said Drogba. "And
it's nice to know there's a big difference from when I came here,
when I was struggling to adapt and score goals.
"It's a good feeling to be among all these big players, big
names, and still playing and still having a chance to pass
them.
"It's nice for your kids to know people speak about you in a
good way and you made history. These players stay in the hearts of
the fans. I want to be one of them, but it's not my first
ambition."
