Didier Drogba says the reputation he has gained for play-acting has led referees to warn him against diving before league and European games.
"I've had the feeling everybody regards me as a diver since I had the misfortune to say I sometimes fall over, because I'm being pushed and not because of cheating.
Now in the Premier League, and the Champions League too, referees come to see me before games and tell me: 'No diving today, eh?'."
