A resolution calling for referees to be given the power to abandon matches if players are consistenly subjected to racial abuse recently received the backing of England defender Rio Ferdinand and more than 400 MEPs.

Now Drogba says he would think about walking off the pitch if he felt he was being singled out for such treatment.

“The great thing about football is that it is a game for everyone, no matter where you come from or what you look like,” Drogba said.

“Football brings people from around the world together but some people don’t realise this and they want to make chants about a player’s colour.

“I have had some problems with this in the past and it is wrong. We have to think about what we can do to let these people know we do not want this, it is not right.

“It is not just a problem in Spain or in football but something everyone needs to put right.”

Drogba won consistent backing from manager Jose Mourinho during the period when he was criticised for using his hand to score and for feigning injuries by diving to the floor.

But his immense performance against West Ham last week was hailed as magnificent by team-mates and coaches alike.

For once Mourinho reverted to a 4-4-2 formation instead of the usual 4-3-3 and even with 10 men, the Portuguese coach opted to keep faith with strike pair Drogba and Hernan Crespo.

The plan worked with both players scoring and Drogba having a hand in two other goals as Chelsea crushed West Ham 4-1.

“Maybe it would be easier for me if I played with a strike partner,” Drogba added.

“It would take the pressure off but the important thing is to be in the team.

“The manager is happy with me and I am happy with him and that is what matters.”

Meanwhile, midfielder Claude Makelele has been surprised at the success Mourinho has brought to the club in just two amazing years.

Chelsea stand on the brink of their first league and cup double and the Frenchman is staggered by the speed of the improvement.

The Blues face Liverpool in the FA Cup semi-finals and are seven points clear of Manchester United at the top of the Premiership.

“There are still quite a few hard games left before we can start talking about winning the championship again,” said Makelele.

“We have risen to the top very quickly, a lot faster than I expected perhaps but everything was in place – a good manager, good players, good communication in all areas of the club and a great atmosphere.

“It is a situation now where every big team has respect for Chelsea.”

The defeat by Barcelona in the Champions league this season means Mourinho will almost certainly bolster his squad in the summer and Makelele says he expects them to go further than the last 16 next season.

“There are many good teams in Europe,” he told Chelsea’s official club magazine. “We are the best team in England but the European game is different.

“Europe is a different competition and it takes time to adapt. I expect us to do a lot better next year.

"The manager is very clever and every year gives more experience to him and the players. So next year will be different.”
