How Didier Drogba Overcame The Odds To Become the Most Clutch Player Ever

If you’ve ever found yourself believing that all African players are strong and athletic, it’s probably because of this man - Didier Drogba.

In his heyday, he was as tough as they came. I mean, he could receive a long ball on his chest while holding off two defenders, spin them around and finish past the goalkeeper. Easy.

And on the biggest stage, Drogba always delivered,scoring 10 goals in 10 finals and retiring as one of the most clutch footballers the modern game has ever seen.

But as incredible as his career was, his journey was even more impressive: fleeing poverty, overcoming rejection and constant doubt on his way to the top.

This is the life of Didier Drogba.
