Didier Drogba has declared he feels valued by Chelsea’s
new boss Guus Hiddink.
Ivory Coast international Drogba appears to have convinced new
manager Hiddink to give him the responsibility to lead The Blues’
attack, with the striker starting the last two games.
The former Marseille man has claimed that he never lost his
goalscoring talent, but just needed to be shown more confidence to
make the most of his potential.
Drogba bagged a massive winner in the narrow Champions
League victory against Juventus and he has expressed his joy
to be back on track.
The African has also said that he expects to hit peak form in
the near future.
“You haven’t lost your Drogba, he was just not playing
(laughs),” Drogba said at Stamford Bridge.
“Being judged when you are playing is much easier, and to the
contrary when you are not playing you can be criticised.
“At the moment I feel good when I’m on the pitch and I make the
most of those priceless moments.
“The truth is that the coach relies on me, which is a massive
psychological boost for a striker.
“Physically, I’m not ready yet, but what I need to do is play to
be back in a good form.”
