Katika mahojiano yake  na kituo cha runinga cha ITV, yaliyorushwa hewani tarehe 10/12/2013  Didier Drogba alizungumzia hivi kuhusu kuhamia kwake Uingereza toka timu iliyompatia umaarufu nchini Ufaransa ya Olympique Marseille

“Yeah there was some moments when I was saying maybe it’s not for me. Maybe I go back to France, I go back to Marseille because I still had that feeling for Marseille but then I’m you know, I’m a fighter and I was like, ‘No, I came here and I need to achieve something, I need to achieve something and I need to make history here.’ 

Yaani :

Kuna nyakati nilikuwa nasema kuwa pengine hii sio kwa ajili yangu. Labda tuu nirudi Ufaransa, nirudi Marseille kwa sababu bado nilikuwa naipenda Marseille, ila wajua, mie ni mpiganaji, na nikawa kama, Hapana nilikuja hapa na ninahitaji kufikia kitu fulani.  Nahitaji kufikia kitu fulani, na ninahitaji kuweka historia hapa".

Na Drogba anaeleza hivi kuhusu namna anavyojisikia hususani akirudi kwao Ivory Coast:

“First of all I don’t see myself as a superstar, I see myself as a normal guy, one of these guys who had more chances, who was lucky to have his parents behind him to give him the chance to have a good chance in life. So when I go there I don’t know, I always feel that I was lucky to have met that journey because a lot of them some people are better than me, some of the guys there that are playing are much better than me but they didn’t have the chance I had so I do not see myself as a superstar.”

Yaani: 

" Kwanza kabisa, sijioni kama ni superstar. Najiona kama mtu wa kawaida tuu, mmoja wa hawa (wa Ivory Coast) ambaye alipata nafasi zaidi , mtu ambaye alikuwa mwenye bahati ya kupata wazazi wa kumpa nafasi ya kuwa na nafasi nzuri kimaisha. Hivyo ninapoenda kule (Ivory Coast) , daima hujisikia kuwa ni mtu mwenye bahati ya kukutana na ile safari (ya mafanikio) kwa kuwa wapo wengi kati ya hawa watu (wa Ivory Coast) ambao wanacheza vizuri zaidi yangu, ila hawajapata nafasi kama niliyoipata mie, hivyo sijisikii kama ni superstar".
