Nicolas Anelka truly believes the world is made up of knobs that will believe anything a footballer says. His most recent statement about Drogba’s coin-throwing incident is about as ridiculous as they come, that’s for damn sure!
But he believes Drogba should be battling for a first-team spot and not being forced to sit in the stands. Anelka said: ‘Didier returned a coin which supporters had thrown at him. It is not something serious. It is a gesture among others.
‘When I was playing in Turkey (for Fenerbahce), during derbies, I got hit by things on the head and I never answered. But it is sometimes hard to keep your nerve.’ (Daily Mail)
Handing and throwing a coin to a supporter in the stands are two totally different things. Watching the video, it doesn’t look like Drogba is handing the coin over; instead it looks like he’s flicking it into the stands. Either Anelka and the general public have a different view of throwing and handing, or the French striker is trying to cover for his strike partner. (I think it’s the latter)
