Drogba: Chelsea As Good As 2004

Didier Drogba has reassured supporters that the current Chelsea squad built by Jose Mourinho has the same passion and quality as the one the Portuguese manager created in 2004 when he won the Barclays Premier League title two years in a row, according to the Independent.

Chelsea were given a rebirth by Roman Abramovich when the club owner appointed Mourinho as the manager after earning numerous honours in his spell at Porto. With senior players like Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole, John Terry and Drogba in the unit, there was always a sense of togetherness and maturity in the squad which showed with results on the pitch.

The Blues have got off to a flying start in all competitions, and particularly in the Premier League, and face Manchester United in an enthralling encounter on Sunday. Manchester City are chasing the London based club for the top spot, and it will be important for Chelsea to get all three points at the Theatre of Dreams and take advantage of City’s loss to West Ham today and extend their lead.
