Chelsea star Drogba exits after eight years at Stamford Bridge

Didier Drogba

English Premier League is seeing yet another big change in the form of the star striker of Chelsea Didier Drogba exiting after full eight years of playing football for the team. The center forward who scored the winning penalty for his team against Bayern Munich that resulted in Chelsea becoming the European champions announced himself that he was leaving the team. In 2004, Roman Abramovich signed up Drogba for £24m. This was one of the key signings done by the billionaire Russian. Although Drogba is leaving, he is leaving in style after delivering one trophy that Abramovich wanted the most.

The Ivory Coast star footballer however was humble enough to put God and fate as the reason for the victory. He told the press that he believes a lot in destiny. He prays a lot and it was his fate that enabled him to bag the goal. A well deserving candidate for the Champion’s League winner medal, Drogba is a fine example of determination and a man’s resolve. It was because of these qualities that he was able to deliver at the end of the season that kicked-off in such a discouraging manner. The footballer came to the rescue of Chelsea when it needed him the most. However, in the first half of the fight Drogba was nothing but a peripheral member of the team. It seemed that he was on the verge of being sacked by the former boss Andre Villas-Boas. Drogba is often termed as an actor by many. He put up a great show in Munich against Bayern and that made him such a feared opponent for the other team. Drogba has one of the finest endings for a career in Chelsea: a bullet header to equalize the score and a crucial penalty at the end of the game to bring the trophy home.

In the words of Steve Bruce, a former defender of the Manchester United and the manager of Sunderland who spoke on BBC Radio 5 live, Didier Drogba had been the best Centre Forward of his type, certainly in the premier league for the past eight years.

Now the question arises that how are the folks at Chelsea planning to replace someone who was already the best in his class? Drogba was not just good; he was fantastic every time his team demanded him to be. There is plenty to say about Drogba’s skills and qualities on the grass, however, off the field the striker is using the fame and name that he has earned to try and bring peace in his native country Ivory Coast. Frank Lampard, a team-mate of the player told how valuable and how much he means to the people of his country even so far away from the football field by telling that he is a hero. Didier Drogba is a member of the team of 11 who constitute the Ivory Coast’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Drogba was the player of the year for the years 2006 and 2009.

London Olympic Games

The Summer Olympic Games of 2012 will take place in London from 27 July to 12 August 2012 making London the only city to host the modern Olympics three times. Previously London had hosted the games in the year 1908 and 1948. It is also the only city in the entire United Kingdom to have ever hosted the Olympic Games. It is lagging behind only the United States in the number of occasions of hosting the Summer Olympics though not even a single Winter Olympic has been held in the country till now. The British Olympic Association deals with the hosting and participation of the country in the games.

Various organising committees were established post the bidding process as a part of preparation for the games. A fusion of new and old venues have been decided upon for hosting the events of the London Olympic Games which include some well-known locations like Hyde Park, Horse Guards Parade, a few historic and some temporary facilities. For administrative and development purposes, all these venues have been divided into three zones- the Olympic Zone, the River Zone and the Central Zone. Apart from these venues, a few also lie outside the city which includes Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy on the Isle of Portland for the hosting of sailing events. The athletes’ village will be in Portland whose construction work was completed in September 2011. Numerous improvements in the transportation sector of London were also made in view of the upcoming games. Transport for London (TfL) carried out the expansion of railway lines and introduced a high speed rail service by the name of Javelin. Approximately 4000 additional train services will operate during the games. A £25 million cable car service has been proposed linking the Olympic venues which will carry passengers at a height of 50 metres in air at the rate of 2500 passengers per hour. The transportation planning has been done keeping in mind the need for reducing the travel time of the athletes to a bare minimum. Special road lanes for the athletes and the VIPs have been made for this purpose.

A budget of £5.3 billion was finalised for the development of venues and infrastructure for the games apart from various other costs. Including all costs for development and regeneration for the London Olympic Games, an amount equal to £9.345 billion has been utilized. The countdown for the games has already started with the ceremony of lighting of Olympic flame in Ancient Olympia in Greece. The countdown clock was unveiled 500 days before the commencement of the games in Trafalgar Square. The official mascot for the games is Wenlock, named after the Shropshire town of Much Wenlock. It is an animated drop of steel from the steelworks in Bolton. Athletes from 204 National Olympic Committees are expected to participate in the London Olympics whose opening ceremony will be called ‘The Isles of Wonder’. The torch relay which is held prior to the games has already started since 19 May and will cover around 8000 miles spanning over 70 days.
