Chelsea legend Didier Drogba aimed a scathing remark on Chelsea owner Todd Boehly after the Blues’s Champions League quarterfinal exit, MySportDab reports.
Chelsea have slumped to their all-time low in domestic and European campaign this season.
Real Madrid piled pressure on the London club last night when they knocked them out of the Champions League quarterfinal by completing a double over the side.
It was the first time a club has completed a Champions League double over Chelsea.
Meanwhile, they have now gone winless in their last four games and Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali were particularly furious when after the club’s defeat to Brighton.
Now, Chelsea legend Didier Drogba have aimed a scathing remark on the new Chelsea owners for how they have run the club after taking over.
Drogba seems to blame the the new owners for Chelsea woes this season saying the club lacks class after Roman Abramovich left the reins as owner.
He also added some staffs who were still serving at the club should have not been allowed to leave after Todd Boehly took over.
‘I knew this club with a certain class during the Abramovich era, but today I find it lacking. It’s very hard for me to see how they got rid of certain people,’ Drogba said.
‘They should go back to the principles and values they had.
Drogba aimed dig on Todd Boehly for stuffing Chelsea with an overbloated squad of about 30 players with little or no 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”
Comparing the club to the Roman Abramovich era, Drogba said; ‘I cannot recognize my club again. They are far from what he had in the Roman Abramovich era.”
Didier Drogba played for Chelsea twice between 2004 and 2015.
