Didier Drogba, the Ivorian international striker playing for Galatasaray, expressed delight at the draw for the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League, which pits his current club against his former club, Chelsea. Drogba emphasized the crucial role played by Chelsea’s manager, José Mourinho, in his career. Mourinho had convinced Drogba to join Chelsea from Ligue 1, and under the Portuguese manager’s guidance, Drogba became one of the best strikers in Europe. Drogba is looking forward to returning to Stamford Bridge and feels at home, whether playing in the first or second leg of the tie.
