Benched Didier Drobga still feels great

[Folami David]

Ivory Coast captain Didier Drogba dismissed concerns he may not be in top form after starting Saturday's African Nations Cup 3-0 win over Tunisia on the bench, the 1st time he was dropped in his international career.
.
Drogba was brought on for the final 25 minutes of the energy-charged Group D game but still failed to impress, and left it to his teammates Gervinho, Yaya Toure and Didier Ya Konan to endure a second successive win for the Elephants at the tournament.
.
Drogba last week said he was only 50-60 percent of his fitness after finishing the season with Shanghai Shenhua in China at the start of November and then not playing for 2 months before reporting for Nations Cup preparations.
.
On Saturday he said he was fit to play throughout.
.
'' I feel great. The coach picked his team, and we adapt and play '', Drogba told journalists.
.
'' I'm not the manager and it wasn't my decision. Don't try to make a big deal out of the fact that I was on the bench because it's not ''.
