DROGBA DELIGHTED TO BE IN THE FINAL




Ivory Coast captain Didier Drogba says that the African Cup of Nations final against Egypt is a matter of pride.
Drogba, who scored the winning penalty against Cameroon and the only goal in the semi final with Nigeria, says that he would be proud to lift the trophy.
"Quite simply, I'd be really proud to win the cup, either as a player or the captain," said Drogba.
"A continental title means a great deal, it's a degree of recognition that comes just below that of the World Cup.
"Simply being in the final is pure happiness."
The Chelsea striker, who currently has three goals to his name in the tournament, believes that the captaincy has not changed his style of play.
