The footballer admitted that being carried off shoulder high by his team mates was a memorable moment. According to him, the latest title was as good as anything the team had won previously.

“To be number one Premier League team from day one, that’s special. John Terry just decided to lift me up and carry me off the pitch. It was an emotional moment, really emotional.”

Speaking to Sky Sports Drogba confessed that in future he hopes to return to Chelsea but in another role.

“I spoke with the manager and the board and we all agreed that as I wanted to enjoy a bit more the pitch, they will let me go. I will always come back here. It is good to know the club wants me to come back and be part of the future of this team. I am happy how we found this solution,” he said.
