Striker refutes accusation from Bayern boss
Didier Drogba has denied accusations he was an "actor" after seemingly being branded one by Bayern Munich boss Jupp Heynckes.
Heynckes claimed earlier on Friday at his press conference ahead of the Champions League final against Chelsea that striker Drogba sometimes "overdoes it a bit", adding: "Sometimes he's an outstanding actor on the pitch."
Bayern later moved to blame a mistranslation, insisting the word "actor" should have been "performer".
But the damage was done and asked whether he was an actor, Drogba said: "As far as I know, no.
"They (Bayern) have a great manager with a lot of experience.
"I have a lot of respect for him and that's all I can say."
Pressed further if he was an actor, he added: "Oh, no, I don't think so. No, no, no."
