Didier Drogba, has also revealed his
plans to launch a cartoon series of himself titled ‘From Tito to Drogba’.
The cartoon
series will show details of Drogba’s early life and how he achieved his dreams
of becoming the icon he is today.
Speaking to sport
analyst, the player said, ‘It is a fun way to learn lots of things about me and
to show young people that, if they do what I did, they can also achieve their
objectives.’
‘The most
important thing is to show that you can exceed your dreams. For me, football
has become my job, my way of making a living, and that in turn has allowed me
to meet many famous people, to be a UNICEF ambassador,’ he added.
We gathered that
the man responsible for the project, Gabin Bao, has spent years on the project.
I met with him several times after we did the deal and he really liked the idea
of sending a message to young Africans. The script for the book flirts with
caricature at times in its emphasis on the role of hard work in Drogba’s
ascent,’ Bao said.‘Some people say
I have made him too perfect. But he is like that. He is very careful about his
image because he has a lot of responsibility on his shoulders.’
Editions are
being planned for release in Britain, where Drogba is still idolised by
supporters of his former club Chelsea; Brazil, where he is due to play in the
World Cup later this year, and Turkey, where he currently plays for
Galatasaray.
