Drogba told The Sun: “It’s hard for Ballack at Chelsea because this club is special.
“I’m convinced he would have had a much easier time at Manchester United or Arsenal because they benefit from their well-balanced team — he would have been a better fit there.
“At Chelsea, we depend on our individuals. So, maybe Chelsea is not the right club for Ballack.”
Drogba added: “I believe that Ballack and Lampard can harmonise well. They have proved it a couple of times in the Champions League already.
“Against Barcelona and Porto, both played fantastically. They are experienced and intelligent enough to play together.”
