Drogba reveals his "disgust"

Chelsea have declined to comment on comments that Drogba was disgusted upon joining the club. It is unclear when the DVD - entitled 'The Incredible Destiny of Didier Drogba' - was recorded. Drogba talks about his reluctance to leave Marseille for Stamford Bridge three years ago - even suggesting he hoped to fail his medical.

"I said to myself 'I couldn't give a damn' (that Marseille have accepted a bid). Maybe that's going to shock supporters of Chelsea, but I didn't want to leave," he said.

"I even did some things that were almost absurd, in order not to go to Chelsea, such as during the medical.

"Going to the hospital in Paris, I was praying they would find a problem with my knee, or a problem with anything so the move would collapse.

He added: "I was disgusted. I realised that signing for Chelsea was disgusting. It's hard to explain.

"It's hard to understand because most of all, people see the financial side, or even the sporting side. But I simply wasn't happy."
