Didier Drogba has taken to social media to respond to Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp's comments about the Africa Cup of Nations being a "little tournament."
Following Liverpool's 4-0 win over Arsenal in the Premier League last November, Klopp seemed to refer to AFCON as a small tournament.
“I’ve heard that so often that there’s no international break until March. In January, there’s a little tournament in Africa, I just want to say, and I think Asia is playing games, too – South America as well, great, can’t wait," Klopp said.
Klopp clarified a days later that he did not mean to disrespect the tournament and that his words had been taken out of context.
