Drogba is Big and Strong Like Me says The Beast

Considering he couldn't speak any English when he came to Hereford United, Mathieu Manset certainly knows how to give the media a headline.

Recently the former Bulls striker met Didier Drogba whilst on international duty.

"I want to play like Didier Drogba, we have the same profile," The Beast told Get Bracknall

"He is big and strong, like me. I like him a lot and I met him when I played with Ivory Coast last month. I’m also a Chelsea fan, but because of Drogba. It was good to speak to him and I learned a lot."

Manset is yet to make his debut for promotion candidates Reading but has already made seven substitute appearances. Tomorrow they play Nottingham Forest.

"I like big stadiums with big crowds as it’s exciting to play in front of them. Madjeski Stadium is beautiful as well, I like playing there in front of the home fans.

"We will do our best to get a win for the manager’s birthday tomorrow. To give him three points would be the best present for him. We will also try our best to get second spot, but we will see."
