The countdown for the big clash between FC/Copenhagen (FCK) and Chelsea in Parken in Copenhagen Tuesday has started. But for two of the players, the event is more than a fight for goals and victory in Champions League.

When the famous Chelsea player and captain of the national team from Cote d'Ivoire, Didier Drogba, comes to Copenhagen, it becomes, in addition to a Champions League bang, also a reunion with a family member.

The young FCK striker Kenneth Zohore is apart from being a huge fan of Drogba also related with the star player from Cote d'Ivoire.

"Drogba is my father's cousin, and I've met him a few years ago, but I do not really talk with him," Zohore told reporters.

Zohore's father is from Cote d'Ivoire while his mother is from Denmark. And the young FCK player, who has three Champions League games on the CV, hope to meet his father's cousin on the pitch tomorrow.

"It would be great to play a role against Chelsea. Chelsea has always been my favorite team abroad. It is because Didier Drogba is my favorite player. I want to play like him," said Zohore.

The 17-year-old striker was the second youngest Champions League player ever when he received debut against Barcelona when he was 16 years and 261 days old.
