Chelsea striker Didier Drogba is one week away from the biggest match of his club career -- the UEFA Champions League final against Premier League champs Manchester United. So of course, this is the perfect time for Drogba to inform the world that he dreams of playing for some other club."All footballers dream of signing for AC Milan," he wrote, before revealing that in 2006, he secretly traveled by private jet to meet with Milan royalty Paolo Maldini and Adrian Galliani. "I explained to Paolo Maldini that Milan is a club I would love to join."
Galliani then allegedly asked him pointblank when he would like to play for Milan, to which he responded: "Whenever you want, it's all up to you. Get the money ready and go see Chelsea."
We've known for a while that Drogba wanted out of Chelsea the moment Jose Mourinho was sacked. Watching him sulk on the sidelines while listening to his iPod should have been enough of a hint.
Still, why bring this up now, just a week before Chelsea's big revenge game against the Red Devils? Is he really that eager for all Blues supporters to resent him? Does he want them to push him out of Stamford Bridge, when he already has one foot out the door?
The Chelsea side that takes the pitch next Wednesday will look nothing like the side that takes the pitch next August. I would tell Blues fans to enjoy this team while it still can, but Drogba is trying really hard to prevent them from doing that, isn't he?
