Drogba: Blues have the winning formula back

DIDIER DROGBA has compared this season’s Chelsea side to the title-winners of 2005 and 2006 under Jose Mourinho and suggested that after four managerial changes since the Portuguese left in September 2007, Chelsea finally have the right man in charge in Carlo Ancelotti.

The Blues striker, currently on African Cup of Nations duty with Ivory Coast, insisted the Premier League leaders would not miss him and John Obi Mikel, Salomon Kalou and Michael Essien over the next few weeks – and added that he wants to return to Chelsea next month having won the African title for his country.

“I’m glad we are in the title race,’’ said Drogba.
