After playing in youth teams, Drogba made his professional debut aged 18 for Ligue 2 club Le Mans. A late bloomer, he signed his first professional contract aged 21; it was not until the 2002 � 03 season that he realized his potential, scoring 17 goals in 34 appearances in Ligue 1 for Guingamp. During the same season he made his first international appearance for Côte d'Ivoire, in September, and scored his first international goal the following February. He moved to Olympique de Marseille in 2003 for £3.3 million. His scoring success at Olympique de Marseille continued, finishing as the third highest scorer in Ligue 1 with 19 goals and helped the club to reach the 2004 UEFA Cup Final. Drogba moved to Chelsea the following season for a record breaking fee of £24 million, making him the most expensive Ivoirian player in history. In addition, he scored decisive goals in the 2005 Football League Cup Final and in the 2005 FA Community Shield and helped the club win their first ever Premier League title. Drogba came to prominence as one of the world's foremost strikers in 2006 as he won the league title with Chelsea again and captained the national team for the first time. In the 2006 World Cup he scored Côte d'Ivoire's first ever goal of the competition and he was chosen as the 2006 African Footballer of the Year. The next season he finished as top scorer in the 2006 � 07 Premier League with 20 goals and also scored the winning goals in the 2007 Football League Cup Final and FA Cup Finals. He won the FA Cup for the second time in 2009, scoring the equalizer in the final. In the 2009 � 10 season Drogba proved instrumental in Chelsea winning their first double in the club's history. He won his second Golden Boot with 29 goals, and scored the only goal in Chelsea's victory over Portsmouth in the 2010 FA Cup Final. This goal makes him the only player to score in six English Cup finals. Drogba is credited with playing a vital role in bringing peace to his country. After Côte d'Ivoire qualified for the 2006 World Cup, Drogba made a desperate plea to the combatants, asking them to lay down their arms, a plea which was answered with a cease fire after five years of civil war. Drogba later helped move an African Cup of Nations qualifier to the rebel stronghold of Bouake; a move that helped confirm the peace process. In September 2011, Drogba joined the Truth, Reconciliation and Dialogure Commission as a representative to help return peace to his home nation. His involvement in the peace process lead to Drogba being named as one of the world's 100 most influential people by Time magazine for 2010. Drogba also holds a French passport. |
![Hier ein kleines Video von mohrtim10 - einem sehr talentiertem Kicker und Freund von den freekickerz Rabona ist ein Begriff aus dem FuÃballsport und bezeichnet einen Schuss, eine Flanke oder einen Pass, der durch Ãberkreuzen der Beine ausgeführt wird. Dabei bewegt sich das Schussbein hinter dem Standbein gegen den Ball. Ein Vorteil dieser Schusstechnik kann sein, dass bei einem Flankenlauf der technisch stärkere Fuà verwendet werden kann, etwa wenn sich der Spieler als Rechtsfuà auf der linken Spielseite befindet und in die Mitte flanken will. Ein weiterer Vorteil kann der Ãberraschungseffekt sein. AuÃerdem wird der Ball dabei durch das Standbein gegenüber dem verteidigenden Gegenspieler abgedeckt. Aufgrund ihrer hohen technischen Anforderungen insbesondere bei hohem Lauftempo wird diese Schusstechnik selten angewandt und gilt eher als Kabinettstückchen. Trivia [Bearbeiten] Als erster Spieler, der die Rabona -- damals noch âÃberkreuzschuss" genannt -- anwandte, gilt der Italiener Giovanni Roccotelli, der in den 1970er Jahren für Ascoli Calcio spielte. Am 18. September 2002 überlistete Juan Carlos Valerón mit einem Rabona-Pass die Defensive des FC Bayern München, sodass Roy Makaay einschieben konnte. Dave de Jong erzielte beim DFB-Pokal-Spiel des VfL Osnabrück gegen die SpVgg Greuther Fürth am 21. August 2005 den 2:2 Ausgleich mittels eines Rabona-Tores. In association football, the rabona is a method of kicking the football whereby the kicking leg is wrapped around the <b>...</b>](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-PzGfCQEMmg/0.jpg)
