In the letter that Drogba wrote to France Football, he relates that the day he met Diego Maradona he will never be able to forget the words he said to him. Diego Maradona when seeing Drogba said: "Drogba, a bomb." That phrase that Maradona said about Drogba will never be forgotten for the Ivory Coast player. Meeting Diego Maradona was touching the sky with his hands for Drogba.

Didier Drogba ended the letter just like Pele as he wrote an "I love you". It is incredible to see the impact that Diego Maradona's death had on the best players in history.
