| Drogba tears after Jose hug
DIDIER DROGBA is used to reducing opposition defences to quivering wrecks.
But yesterday morning it was the 6ft-plus powerhouse who broke down in tears
after Jose Mourinho hugged him like a son.
The changing room at Chelsea’s Cobham training HQ is usually a hub of noise
and banter on any given morning.
Mourinho's Chelsea career in pics:
Drogba will often try to hog the stereo system to play his rap music while
the players get changed and warm up for their daily session.
This time, though, the only sound was silence.
Mourinho had told two of his team he would drop by just after 10 o’clock and
collect his belongings before going to say goodbye to ‘his family.’
Nobody was late and barely a word was said as they waited for him.
SHOULD ENGLAND SACK McCLAREN AND GO FOR JOSE?
Some of the younger lads got changed as usual but quickly realised this
would be no ordinary day at the club.
A couple of the senior players remembered the day Claudio Ranieri made the
same journey to the old training ground.
They recalled the sickness in their stomach at the knowledge they were
losing someone they loved and respected.
Chelsea has changed almost unrecognisably since Roman Abramovich fired
Ranieri. The way the players feel about Mourinho is also incomparable.
When he stepped into the dressing room almost every player was by his usual
change station.
Two or three tried to greet him but his body language said that he would do
the talking.
Without any fuss or ceremony, the former Chelsea manager moved towards one
side of the room to speak to the players.
Brazil star Juliano Belletti was one of the first.

In Portuguese, Mourinho spoke warmly of his performances since he signed for
Chelsea and wished the defender luck.
Alex, his countryman, was next and was given similar treatment.
One by one, Mourinho moved around the rectangular room — speaking to each of
the players and thanking them for their work while he was boss.
With some — like Petr Cech and Ricardo Carvalho — he put his hands on their
face and reminded them of shared glory ... the first title, last season’s FA
Cup ...
Mourinho told them how proud he was of what they had achieved and asked that
they pass on his best wishes to their wives and children.
Others were not treated with such kindness. Andriy Shevchenko was offered a
handshake which, according to one member of staff, could have “frozen a mug
of tea.”
And then came Didi. The big Ivory Coast striker smiled at his boss but there
was nothing in his look to suggest this was a time for happiness.
Mourinho put his hands on the player’s arms and spoke a little louder, as if
he wanted some people to hear his words.
“You are one of the best strikers in the world and you have made yourself
into one of the best players,” Mourinho told him. “I am very proud of you,
Didi — and you should be proud of yourself.
“You have worked hard and you are a winner. Always remember you are a
winner.”
Mourinho then put his arms around the hitman and hugged him like a departing
father.
As he moved on, Drogba failed to keep himself together and broke down in
tears.
Mourinho continued his circuit but only repeated the kind of praise he had
for the striker when he embraced Frank Lampard.
And so he left the room and picked up a few personal belongings he had
collected from his office — including a photo of his two children with their
pet dog.
Once again, there was silence save for Florent Malouda — who had put his arm
around Drogba to comfort him.
Chief executive Peter Kenyon had the unenviable task of following Mourinho
in to address the players. Kenyon informed them that Avram Grant would
become general manager and Steve Clarke first-team coach.
He began to try and explain the past couple of days but quickly realised his
audience were not interested in who was replacing their leader.
Their loyalty to Mourinho — unlike Chelsea’s — was never in question. To his
players, he will always be Special. |

Enrique Iglesias
Do You Know (The Ping Pong Song) Do you know [x3]
[Chorus]
Do you know what it feels like
loving someone that's in a rush to throw you away.
(Do you know [x3])
Do you know what it feels like
to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed.
Do you know [x4]
Do ya
If birds flying south is a sign of changes
At least you can predict this every year.
Love, you never know the minute it ends suddenly
I can't get it to speak
Maybe finding all the things it took to save us
I could fix the pain that bleeds inside of me
Look in your eyes to see something about me
I'm standing on the edge and I don't know what else to give.
[Chorus]
Do you know what it feels like
loving someone that's in a rush to throw you away.
(Do you know [x3])
Do you know what it feels like
to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed.
Do you know [x4]
Do ya
How can I love you [x4]
If you just don't talk to me, babe.
I flow through my act
The question is she needed
And decide all the man I can ever be.
Looking at the last 3 years like I did,
I could never see us ending like this.
(Do you know)
Seeing your face no more on my pillow
Is a scene that's never happened to me.
(Do you know)
But after this episode I don't see,
you could never tell the next thing life could be
[Chorus]
Do you know what it feels like
loving someone that's in a rush to throw you away.
(Do you know [x3])
Do you know what it feels like
to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed.
Do you know [x3]
[Chorus]
Do you know what it feels like
loving someone that's in a rush to throw you away.
(Do you know [x3])
Do you know what it feels like
to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed.
Do you know [x7]
[Chorus]
Do you know what it feels like
loving someone that's in a rush to throw you away
(Do you know [x3])
Do you know what it feels like
to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed
Do you know [x3]
[Chorus]
Do you know what it feels like
loving someone that's in a rush to throw you away
(Do you know how it feels)
Do you know what it feels like
to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed
Do you know [x4]
Do ya
Do you know [x4]
Do ya
Do you know [x4]
Do ya |
