Didier Drogba is determined to fire Chelsea to glory in the
Carling Cup and help himself to the coveted 'Golden Boot' at the
end of the season. Drogba's inspirational form, which has seen him
smash more than 25 goals so far this season, has already helped him
to beat the boo-boys who almost drove him out of
England.
The former Marseille man was forced to reconsider his entire future
in the Barclays Premiership when he was accused of using his hand
to score against Manchester City as well as being a labelled a
'diver'.
Drogba now wants to help Chelsea to an unprecedented four trophies
this term and also has his eye on the award for finishing Europe's
top scorer. The Carling Cup final against Arsenal will provide the
Ivory Coast international with another glorious occasion to
demonstrate his goalscoring prowess.
Drogba said: "Of course I can win the Golden Boot. But as much as
I'd love to be the top scorer, it would mean nothing if Chelsea
don't win the league. I'd like to win the Premiership and the
Golden Boot. It is a long way from the days when he was branded one
of the biggest cheats in the game - even if he did not always
understand the reasons why.
Drogba said: "I can understand if they are unhappy when I don't
play well. "I handled the ball [against City] but this is part of
the game. I try to score and, if the referee sees the handball,
there is a restart."
"We want to win all four trophies this season and we believe we
have the ability to do it. "At 28, I am definitely thinking of
ending my career at Chelsea - if that's what the fans want to hear.
But I will play the game until I can no longer push myself. "At one
time, I did think about leaving the club because of many reasons.
"But I think I've come to stay in England and I hope that will end
all the confusion of the past.
