Football Update: Drogba says he has been playing in pain & Giggs takes shots at Chelsea
Chelsea’s ace striker Didier Drogba has said that he has been playing in Pain for all these years at Chelsea. He said he has been suffering from a groin injury for long. The Ivorian striker went through a hernia operation few months back that had been hampering him for the last 6 years.
While talking to a British newspaper he said that Hernia was the main problem, he said that he first had that 6 years ago and since then, it has been troubling him.
He added that it had been hard work for him and at times playing so many games back to back was not easy for him. Drogba said that this is the reason he had to miss number of games and training sessions in previous seasons.
The Ivory Coast captain said that after the surgery he feels much better, he added that when he played his first game after the surgery that was the Community shield against Manchester United he felt very good. He added that earlier he would have needed some tablets to get through the match, but it’s not the case now.
Drogba said that he feels like a whole new player now, he added that there are no more worries for him regarding his groin.  The front man said that getting the surgery done was one of the best decisions he ever made.
When one takes into account the amount of goals he has scored in the last few season, it surely is a phenomenal feat and its bad news for other teams. As Drogba says, he will be a much better player now than he has been.
The African striker said that earlier he had just accepted the injury, and he adjusted his game accordingly. He said that he feel much more agile and mobile now and would definitely take his game to another level.
Meanwhile after the Community shield match, when Manchester United beat Chelsea 3-1.Ryan Giggs has said that Chelsea is a team with more hype than quality.
Giggs, while talking to a British newspaper said that, the community shield was an evidence of Chelsea being an ordinary team. Giggs said that even though Chelsea are the premier league champions, they hardly played like that. The left winger said that Manchester United completely dominated the game and did not give Chelsea any command on the game.
The former Wales international said that Chelsea remains a good team, but if one plays against them with proper planning and strategy, they can easily be made to look ordinary. He added that the community shield is in short just a curtain raiser but it does give a team momentum ahead of the season. Giggs said that the win has given the team immense confidence and the new recruit Javier Hernandez looks like the real deal.
Giggs said that there had been some injuries pre season, but its good to see the team fit and ready to go; he added that Michael Owen, who had been out for a while with an injury came back well and looked in good touch.  If players stay away from injury in the upcoming season, Giggs believes United have a great chance of winning their 19th world title.
Manchester United made just 2 singings in the off season. Javier Hernandez, the Mexican striker and Chris Smalling from Fulham. Red Devils manager Sir Alex Ferguson believes that his team is good enough to once again win the title and become the first team to win 19 league titles.
