Petr Cech hailed Drogba after his award yesterday by the FWA. They are really good friends. They joined Chelsea the same year 2004 and had an outstanding night in Munich in 2012.
Hear Cech spoke to
skysports.com:
"Didier is definitely special because he's been here in the time when we (Chelsea) had the most success," Cech said.
"He scored important goals in the big games, small games, and he's been ever present so I think that him coming back has been great news for everyone and he is showing his worth.
"It's never easy when you try to come back and turn back time. I think that we are in a completely different situation now, and we try, obviously, to replicate what we've done in the past and keep winning titles, keep winning trophies.
"When you've known someone for such a long time... when you've been playing with him for a long time... the relationship is different than when you have someone you get to know for a few weeks.
"We went through the bad times, the good times, and we always managed to find a way to have success so I think it's something we have in common.
"That's a great memory for all of us, Chelsea supporters and everybody involved in Chelsea Football Club, because it was the best trophy we've won in the history of the club.
"When you win something for the first time it is special and winning the Champions League anyway is special. It had been our aim for years, ever since I came to the club."
