Didier Drogba - "I want to give people a good season!"

Well days after first signing an extension to his current contract at Chelsea, then lifting the Charity Shield at Wembley as he scored one of our pens in the penalty shootout after the 2-2 draw at Wembley, Didier Drogba is singing from the same hymnsheet as the rest of us! He said:

"I have a lot of friends in France at the moment who are without a team, without contracts, so I know how lucky I am to be here, and I want to enjoy it. I have only been playing at a high level since I was 25 so, in my head, I still feel young. I don't know how long I can continue playing but, for me, the most important thing is to enjoy being on the pitch.

Maybe I do look happy now and that I know what I am doing - but I knew what I was doing, even last year. I knew what I was doing and I told you that and that is why I am here, with Chelsea. I am feeling good. I want to play and I am really happy to be on the pitch and to have my team-mates. I want to give people a good season.

Against United I lost a lot of balls, which is something I think is not normal. I need to reduce the amount of mistakes, losing the ball. You know there is always room to improve. I want to improve what I was doing before. I want to do it better and I want to avoid making mistakes. It is important to think like that, to be a perfectionist. The more you play big games the more you learn. I think it is never too late to learn from them."

From all of us Chelsea fans its great to hear that he feels as though he needs to improve first of all but also his thoughts and feelings about the rest of the squad. I can safely say that we will all see a much different Didier Drogba than we were watching come Christmas last season!
