“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.
Former Cameroonian player, Geremi Njitap claims that Inter Miami has no chance of winning the FIFA World Cup this season.
The former player shared that despite Lionel Messi being on the team, there is no chance of winning the FIFA cup, he also added that Messi has passed his prime.
“Lionel Messi is no longer young, he is going to come up against great clubs who have great players in the peak of their careers. Does he have a chance of winning it? I don’t think so.”
Ex Chelsea Striker, Tore Andre Flo praises the club for their recent decision on signing in AC Milan goalkeeper, Mike Maignan.
The former striker explained the decision as a smart move on Chelsea’s part and highlighted how strong the team’s defense will become.
“It sounds like a good signing to me. A club like Chelsea would improve the squad straight away if there was any doubt [over Robert Sanchez]. To me it sounds very, very smart.”
Former Real Madrid midfielder Guti has taken aim at Barcelona’s rising star, Lamine Yamal, criticizing his outfit choice during a recent Spain national team press conference. The 17-year-old showed up with his hat worn backwards, a look Guti felt was inappropriate for such a professional setting.
Speaking on El Chiringuito TV, Guti said, “I didn’t like seeing Yamal at a press conference with his cap turned backwards. That’s something you do on vacation or in your personal life—not when representing your club or country.” He added that the blame shouldn’t fall on Yamal alone but on those around him who failed to correct the gesture. “It’s not his fault. The people around him should’ve said ‘no way’. He just did what he wanted.”
Yamal has had a solid run with Spain, scoring three goals in seven appearances and helping them reach the UEFA Nations League final. Though Spain lost to Portugal on penalties after a 2-2 draw, the young winger played a key role throughout the tournament. He also played a major part in Barcelona’s successful season, where the club secured the LaLiga title, Copa del Rey, and the Supercopa de España. However, in the final against Portugal, he struggled to make an impact as Nuno Mendes kept him in check.
