Jupp Heynckes: 'Didier Drogba is an outstanding actor'

Heynckes slams "actor" Drogba

Bayern Munich manager Jupp Heynckes has accused Chelsea striker Didier Drogba of having the tendency to dive during matches.

The Ivorian has come under criticism this season for going to ground too easily during play, with some suggesting that the 34-year-old uses potential fouls as a tactic to benefit his side.

"Drogba, for many years, has been one of the top strikers in the Premier League and is definitely dangerous - he can score at any moment," said Heynckes. "Sometimes he overdoes it a bit. Sometimes he's an outstanding actor on the pitch."

Drogba is expected to start for the Blues in the Champions League final against Bayern at the Allianz Arena tomorrow.
