Montreal Impact star and former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba believes the MLS is on its way to becoming one of the top leagues in the world and believes the rough travel schedule makes it a more difficult league to play in than the Premier League.
Speaking to Tony Jimenez of Reuters, the 37-year-old striker heaped praise on the MLS:
It's a different challenge (in the U.S.). People think it's easy to play there. Believe me, it's more difficult than playing in the Premier League because of the travel.
You can stay at an airport for three or four hours if you miss your flight, so that is what is really leveling the game.
