It's funny. I always used to dislike Drogba. I loathed the way that he dived as much as anybody but Ronaldo always got the "diver" tag.
I also couldn't fathom how people kept saying how brilliant he was. For me he was decent but that's it.
His antics canceled out any talent he may have had. Then all of a sudden it happened. The 06/07 season defied description.
No diving. 30 league goals, respectively. It's funny that just when I'm starting to "get" Drogba's talent he's turning 30 & heading out the door.
I finally understand what people were talking about, when they discussed Drogba, only he's leaving so I won't get to appreciate it.
Don't get me wrong I still dislike Chelsea & Drogba but at least I finally get all the hype. The crazy thing is it was the exact same with Mourinho.
I spent 2 years wishing he would shut up & when he finally left I wondered why it was so quiet.
Scarier still I can see it happening with myself & how I view Ronaldo. As much as I admire him, I seem to find myself arguing against him on forums.
I mean I truly enjoy watching him so why do I constantly subscribe to the view he's over hyped?
I'll probably be arguing against him till he leaves. Then I'll be posting this exact same reply in a thread about Ronaldo.
Seriously why can't I ever appreciate talent until after they leave?
