Drogba Blames Gallas for Dividing Chelsea The Ivorian challenged Gallas to an open press conference, in which the Frenchman would give his reasons for wanting to leave Chelsea	By Ovidiu Panzariu, Sports Editor 31st of August 2006, 09:46 GMT Adjust text size:


William Gallas will certainly not have a quiet season with Chelsea. If the Frenchman fails to leave the Blues by tonight, he will spend at least 5 more months at Stanford Bridge. And this prospect shouldn't please him one bit, since not only the fans, but his own colleagues turned against him. Didier Drogba - the Ivorian was in the same situation more than a month ago - warned Gallas to stop complaining about his situation and start putting up with it. The Ivorian blamed the full-back for tearing Chelsea apart. "We can't have a divided team if we are to succeed. We have to stay focused with the stiff challenges ahead. All this stuff just makes it more difficult. Like the manager said recently, William Gallas is the only person who can clear the air on this matter. I cannot read his mind. He is a good guy with great energy. But unless he speaks up, nobody will really know what to say and no one can move on", said the 23-year old, challenging his teammate to an open press conference. Drogba is the second Chelsea player who urges Gallas to explain his reasons and stop with the transfer saga, after skipper John Terry did the same a few weeks ago. Terry told the Frenchman that he will have to apologize to his colleagues for running late in practice and skipping the US Tour. Gallas has one more year of contract with the Blues, but refused to sign an extension after the World Cup ended. According to English tabloids, the player wanted his Chelsea earnings doubled for the upcoming seasons.
