Dieder Drogba confident of his form

Drogba was at his bulldozing best against Valencia 

Chelsea striker Dieder Drogba belives that he has at least two more years left to play at his highest level.

Drogba's tremendous performance rescued Chelsea from being eliminated from the Champions league as they beat Valencia 3-0 on Tuesday.

When asked if he still had a couple of years of top-level football left in him, Drogba said: "I hope so. I started late at a high level. I was 25 when I started to play my first Champions League games. I feel happy, I feel good on the pitch, I'm really enjoying myself, my football. When we're winning like this, I'm really delighted."

The 33 year-old's current deal expires in the summer and he is free to sign a pre-contract with a rival club in less than a month's time but has already pledged not to walk away in January. Earlier his agent said that Drogba will go to the whichever club that pays more money.

Winger Juan Mata, who set up both of Drogba's goals last night, wants his team-mate to stay.

He said: "It is an individual decision between the club and Didier but for us it is important to have strikers like Didier, Fernando Torres and Salomon Kalou.

"Didier is a super striker. He is strong and fast, scores goals and makes assists.

"He is very important for us and, against Valencia, he showed it."
