 | | The Colombians are worried the most from Drogba19.06.2014 |
Nothing scares the players of Colombia more than Diide Drogba before the match against Ivory Coast in the World Cup 2014 on Thursday. "He is one of the best in the box.
"Against him you have to be focused all the time and not give him any space. My task will be to not allow the ball to reach him, "said the defender Cristian Zapata, who played in the Italian Milan.
Porto striker Jackson Martinez also warned that the defenders should be very careful with Drogba.
"We have to be extremely focused on protection. All are aware of the quality of Drogba and what he has achieved in his career," said Martinez.
He remembers a control match in which he played against striker Drogba.
"I noticed the impact on his teammates. He is a true leader who can turn a match. Drogba is a fundamental player for the Ivory Coast," said Martinez.
Colombia started successfully in group with 3:0 against Greece and hopes to continue his series. Midfielder Freddy Guarino from Italian giants Inter is back in team after punishment for accumulated cards of the qualifications.
"The players of Ivory Coast are very healthy and strong physically. Certainly will create problems," said Guarino.
"Our strength does is in the speed," added Martinez.
