Drogba: It's funny to see Terry & Lampard compete against each other

The African legend was at Wembley on Monday to see his former teammates lead their teams in the final of the promotion ticket to the Premier League

Didier Drogba was 'so proud' of his former Chelsea teammates Frank Lampard, John Terry and Ashley Cole after watching the Championship playoff final between Aston Villa and Derby County.

“I’m really happy to see my ex-team-mates there; Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard, John Terry and a few of the staff, being there and competing to get to the highest level in the league," Drogba told TalkSport .

“I’m so proud of them, I’m really proud of them.

“It was funny, those two [Lampard and Terry] used to be together all the time and now they are competing against each other!

“It’s good to see that they have managed to go from players to the other challenge of being coaches on the bench.”

Chelsea take on Arsenal in Wednesday’s Uefa Europa League final and the two-time African Footballer of the Year has disclosed that he will be in Baku to cheer his former team to victory.

“I’m going to be there and I hope they win,” he concluded.
