Drogba: I don't recognise Chelsea; Abramovich began with INTELLIGENT decisions

Chelsea legend Didier Drogba has launched a scathing attack on the club's co-owner Todd Boehly.

The American has come in for heavy criticism from many in the game this week.

Drogba, who won the Premier League, Champions League, and countless other honors with the club, believes the Blues are now unrecognizable.

Drogba said: “I don't recognise my club. It's no longer the same club. There is a new owner and a new vision.

“Of course, we try to compare it with what happened during the (Roman) Abramovich era where a lot of players were brought in, but the decisions were very intelligent.

“Bringing in players like Petr Cech, Andriy Shevchenko, Herman Crespo, Micheal Essien, Didier Drogba, Florent Malouda, and I go on. It was done to win titles. They are players with a certain experience.

“The strategy is now different; we bet on young players. But a dressing room of over 30 players is difficult [to manage] for a manager."
