Didier Drogba has hit out at Chelsea following the sacking of Jose Mourinho, claiming the club have now destroyed all their team spirit. Drogba was known to be upset that Mourinho had left the club, but has recently committed his future to Chelsea.
"I have found Jose Mourinho's eviction hard to take," Drogba told the Daily Mail. "It changes an awful lot of things."
Drogba is on his way back from a knee injury today and will likely play a part in the Chelsea side.
"I'm on my way back from a knee injury and at the moment I am in the sort of nervous state I've never even dreamed about before.
"His departure destroys a certain familiarity we had at the club. Mourinho's mentality suited us and it perfectly fitted the image that Chelsea had given off for a number of years.
"I could not see the blow coming so brutality. He said he was happy to have left and for him to admit it means he must have had a heavy heart.
"It felt strange to return to our training centre at Cobham and no longer see Mourinho. That was when the shock hit home.
"There was a real family spirit in the camp. It was strong and we all had our habits. We could say anything to one another.
"That was our strength. This will need mental strength and a united squad.
"Many of us used to play first and foremost for the manager. Now we need to forget those feelings and find another source of motivation."
