Didier Drogba Believes The Premier League Will Be As Difficult As Ever

Didier Drogba believes that the Premier League will still be difficult despite his side scoring twelve goals in their opening two games.

The Ivorian international was named man of the match after his side’s 6-0 win over Wigan Athletic on Saturday, despite not scoring himself.

Chelsea currently sit comfortably at the top of the Premier League with two wins from two games, and scoring 12 goals in the process, but their star striker still believes that the league will be as difficult as ever.

“We are going to have difficult times [throughout the season],” the 32-year-old told Sky Sports.

“It would be great if we could win the league, but the league is not going to be easy.”

Wigan suffered a humiliating 4-0 home defeat at the hands of Premier League new boys Blackpool last weekend, and many tipped the same outcome for this encounter against the reigning champions, but the Lancashire outfit started out the strongest, and Drogba recognised that.

“We scored six [goals], but we suffered a lot in the first half.

“The fact that we scored quickly at the start of the second half settled us down a lot. We know what we have to do when a game is difficult, we know how to make games easier.”

After today’s result, Chelsea became the first team in Premier League history to score at least six in their opening two games, and Drogba believes this is down to the cohesion in the side.

“We [have] known each other for such long time. We know what we have to do to make it easier.”
