in #sportstalk5 years ago

The former Ivory Coast player has scored 394 goals in his career as a footballer with his club and his team, many think his most important goal was in that final of the 2011-2012 Champions League against Bayern Munich at Allianz Arena, tie the game 1-1 and go to the penalty shootout, or the goal that mark that same day of penalty to give the trophy to your team, also think it was against Barcelona Pep Guardiola in the final semis of that year but no.

In 2005 his country Côte d'Ivoire was in a civil war, which divided the country in two, the South side was led by the Christian government and the north side controlled by the Muslim rebels, in September of that same year finalized the qualifying games for the World Cup in Germany 2006, faced Sudan against the selection of Ivory Coast, game where Didier's team was victorious 3-1 with a goal from their captain, giving the first World Cup to his country, At the time of the celebration Didier took the opportunity to send a message to his whole country, the whole team knelt to send this message to all.

"Citizens of the Ivory Coast, from the north, south, east and west, we ask you on your knees to forgive each other. Excuse me Excuse me A great country like ours can not surrender to chaos. Leave your weapons and organize free elections"

With this message I write down the most important goal of his career and of his country, it reached the hearts of all the people of his country and of the whole world. But not all finished there, the following year the player organized a game of the national team in Bouake (territory that was of the government and was taken by the rebels installing their military base there), it was there where the president of Ivory Coast and The leader of the rebels stood next to each other and sang the national anthem, a great achievement for his country. Then the captain of the selection declared.

"To see the two sides together, to sing in unison the anthem of my country was very special, I felt that Ivory Coast was born again".

Peace reigns in Ivory Coast with the symbolic goal of Didier Drogba "His most important goal".
