Didier Drogba was one of the big forwards of the past decade. After a spectacular season in the Olympique of Marseilles in 2004, fichó by Chelsea to turn into the big offensive reference of the project of Roman Abramovich. Really it achieved it, since it happened eight campaigns as 'blue' to go back another more to the cape of three years.
In a recent interview with daily Ace, Drogba explained that had opportunities to play in LaLiga Santander, since one of the big teams of the competition -no desveló if it treats of the FC Barcelona or of the Real Madrid- wanted to do him a succulent offer. "There were opportunities in some big clubs of the League, yes. The biggest", confessed.
When asking him if it treated of Real Madrid or FC Barcelona, Drogba did not want to wet. "I will not say the name (laughs), but was a moment in which it was happy in Chelsea and when it arrived the offer the big boss (Roman Abramovich) said me: 'You do not go you to any side'. I think that here they remained the clear things", explained.
If we analyse the situation, can take out the conclusion that this club that went after him was the Real Madrid. During this golden age of Drogba in Chelsea, the FC Barcelona had extraordinary players to play in the position of leading centre as they can be Thierry Henry or Samuel Eto'or, by what did not need to anybody in the position.
On the other hand, in the Real Madrid there was more unsteadiness in this place of leading centre, by what the logic invites to think that from Chamartín tried hire to the forward marfileño, that was the big African star beside Samuel Eto'or along all the past decade.
Drogba, a forward of which no longer remain
Didier Drogba was one of these ideal forwards to play in the Premier League, since it was pure power. The marfileño was fast, strong and very effective in the aerial game, what turned him into a custom-made footballer for the Premier League. In the actuality, few forwards have these characteristics.
