Drogba made every player dance by himself as the rest were watching. New England hopes to set an attendance record with Drogba's presence.

Didier Drogba is a fierce competitor in the field, but outside there is a softer side to the Ivory Coast striker that like to smile and have a good time. In his first season with Montreal Impact, the 37-year-old player has already created a lot hype around the team when it plays at home and even on the road.

Drogba recently took a chance to have a good time along with some kids of Impact's youth academy. A handful of them rushed into the locker room of the first team and Drogba cleared it from any obstacles that could cause any danger towards what he planned. Once everything was set, he organized a dance-off.

One by one, the academy players took center stage and showed Drogba and the rest of the players there, their best dance moves to some sort of African song. In some cases, the former Chelsea striker took part inside the show and joined some of the players. In the end, everyone seemed entertained by Drogba's fun idea.

Drogba's Impact Adventure

Drogba joined the team this past summer after finishing a second stint with Chelsea FC. He is now the oldest player in the roster of the MLS franchise. The Ivory Coast player has seen action in nine games and scored nine goals since his arrival with one assist.

In 690 minutes played, Didi has had 16 shots on goal. He has never been ejected from a game so far and only received one yellow card. A pretty low number considering he has fouled opponents 15 times.

Impact @ Revolution

Drogba's team next rival is New England Revolution. Both teams are in playoff contention so the game is very important if they want to secure a spot in the next round. New England is in fourth place of the Eastern Conference while Montreal is down in sixth just in the borderline but only two points separate both teams. 

There is also a high expectation in New England about this game due to the possible presence of Drogba in the pitch. The officials of the home team, hope that with the presence of Drogba this weekend, Gillette Stadium can set a new attendance record for the MLS team from New England.

The decision on whether Drogba plays or not could be made this Friday afternoon or just hours before the game. Drogba has started in seven games so far and in their most recent loss against Orlando City SC, 2-1, the Ivory Coast player came off the bench to play in the last 30 minutes of the game.
