The Turkish football season is set to kick off, beginning with the Super Cup clash between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce. The spotlight is once again on Didier Drogba, who captured attention with his recent performance against Arsenal in the Emirates Cup. Additionally, Drogba is making a notable change to his jersey number.
Upon joining Galatasaray in January, Drogba was initially assigned the number 12. However, the Ivorian striker has now secured his preferred number 11, as announced by the club on its Twitter account. The number 11 was previously worn by Spaniard Albert Riera, who willingly relinquished it to Drogba in exchange for the unique number 77.
The Super Cup promises an intriguing clash between Galatasaray, the reigning champions, and Fenerbahce, the Turkish Cup winners. The match features a duel of African scorers, with Emmanuel Emenike joining Fenerbahce as their new striker, setting the stage for an exciting encounter.
