Nobody Knows Nothing About Drogba Meeting with Inter
Reports of a meeting at a West London restaurant last night between Didier Drogba, his agent, Inter Milan sporting director Marco Branca, and Jose Mourinho’s agent have come out today and everyone related to the matter is denying any knowledge of such a thing.
When asked, Mourinho said:
“I don’t know where Branca was, I was at dinner at Cernobbio [a municipality near Milan]. I know absolutely nothing about this story.
”I know on the other hand that Drogba is part of the history of Chelsea and, from afar, it seems to me that he is and will be a Chelsea player.”
Yet, ever since Mourinho took up his post at Inter, rumors have been rampant that he would like to change that by bringing Drogba to join him in Italy.
Meanwhile, Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari chose a more colorful way of denying knowledge of the meeting:
“I do not sleep with him [Drogba]. Where he was last night? I don’t know. I am not a policeman for my players.”
Ok then. Thanks for clearing that up, Luiz.
Anyway, the possibility of a move to the city of Milan for Drogba predates Mourinho’s involvement, however. Last May, there were reports that Drogba and AC Milan were trying to work out an arrangement in part so that the striker could be closer to a girlfriend he had (or still has?) in the city.
So, to sum up: Drogba might have had dinner with Inter Milan reps, Jose Mourinho likes to visit Cernobbio, and Scolari doesn’t sleep with his players…aren’t you glad you’re filling your brain with this nonsense instead of, say, facts about the failing economy and how everyone on the planet in unemployed?
UPDATE: The Telegraph reports that Chelsea might be interested in swapping Drogba for Adriano.
