“I Always Supported Chelsea as a Kid Because of Lampard and Drogba” – Sancho Reveals
Chelsea winger Jadon Sancho recently shared his childhood admiration for the Blues, revealing that his love for the club grew from watching Chelsea legends Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba in action.
Ahead of Chelsea’s upcoming Premier League match against Everton, Sancho opened up about his journey to Stamford Bridge, where he joined on loan from Manchester United after struggling for regular playing time at Old Trafford.
Speaking candidly about his move to Chelsea, Sancho admitted that it still feels a bit surreal, but he’s excited to be back in an environment that feels like home.
“It’s still a bit weird to me, but it’s always good to be home. My family is close, and I’m happy to be here,” he said.
Growing up, Sancho was a keen follower of Chelsea, and the influence of two of the club’s most iconic players, Lampard and Drogba, played a major role in shaping his admiration for the team.
Both players were instrumental in Chelsea’s success, winning numerous trophies and making lasting memories for fans.
Lampard, the club’s all-time top scorer, and Drogba, known for his powerful performances and crucial goals, inspired a generation of footballers, including Sancho.
“I always supported Chelsea as a kid because of Lampard and Drogba,” Sancho revealed.
Before making the move to Chelsea, Sancho had conversations with former Chelsea player and now coach Enzo Maresca.
Maresca was eager to work with the talented winger, adding to Sancho’s excitement about joining the club.
“Speaking to Enzo Maresca before I came here, he was determined to work with me,” Sancho shared.
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
Nigerian Footballer, Bright Osayi-Samuel , react to match as Super Eagles lose to Morocco.
The player calls out CAF for their referee appointment. He shares how the Ghanaian Referee was tough on the field and made bad choices.
“One thing I would say is that the referee was really bad. I’m not saying that was the reason we lost. He is making really bad choices and it’s really tough to watch because we have referees like this in big games like today.
He then praises Morocco for a good game “But Morocco did really well.”
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle speaks and shared why Nigeria lost the AFCON match to Morocco.
It can be noted that the match was held on the 14th of January, 2026. Nigeria lost the match with a draft in the penalties, 4-2.
During a recent interview, Chelle shared his observations about the match and shared why they lost.
“From a technical point of view, the Super Eagles weren’t at the same level as we displayed in our other matches.”
“I don’t want to say the reason was fatigue, but the truth is that we lacked movement and power.”
