Didier Drogba warned his Ivory Coast teammates about their billing as African Nations Cup favourites when he said top teams do not always live up to expectation.
.
'' I must remind you that Netherlands had a side everyone said was the best for years and they never won a trophy '' said Drogba, sitting alongside Yaya Toure and coach Sabri Lamouchi during a rousing airport welcome in South Africa on Wednesday.
.
The Dutch, who have boasted some of the world's best players for decades, reached three World Cup finals in 1974, 1978 and 2010 without winning one and their only major international title was the 1988 European Championship.
.
'' We will win it one day, maybe with or without me '' Didier said.

We need not be favourites to win the tournament.The players should have the determination to win that's all
It is that determination to win i am yet to see but the players can play very good football
I agree with u there Shola, I saw some of their warm-up matches
