Didier Drogba leaked a secret years ago which Val9ja would like to revisit.

Drogba revealed years ago that money and big platforms did not matter to him when Chelsea was looking at him with admiring eyes.

He disliked Chelsea to the point of disgust when time came for him to join the blues from Marseille.

The Ivorian and Chelsea talisman revealed the surprising secret to the globe through a documentary filmed in 2007 as follows:

‘I was disgusted. I realised that signing for Chelsea was disgusting. It’s hard to explain.

‘It’s hard to understand because most of all, people see the financial side, or even the sporting side. But I simply wasn’t happy I said to myself ‘I couldn’t give a damn’ (that Marseille have accepted a bid). Maybe that’s going to shock supporters of Chelsea, but I didn’t want to leave.

‘I even did some things that were almost absurd, in order not to go to Chelsea, such as during the medical. Going to the hospital in Paris, I was praying they would find a problem with my knee, or a problem with anything so the move would collapse.’

Fortunately for Drogba and Chelsea, the prayers did not work, as he went on to become one of the West Londoners best signee ever. Apart from presenting a nut to crack to rivals during his best days, he lifted multiple trophies at the club.
