Sheva Keen To Raid Fans Hearts

Andriy Shevchenko has blamed injuries for the two unsuccessful seasons he has had at the Stamford Bridge. The former AC Milan had a glittering goal scoring record before a mega bucks move to the West London Outfit but has seen his time limited on the pitch. Sheva joined Chelsea back in 2006 but has managed only a handful of goals, turning out to be one of the biggest flops in the history as he has weighed in with just nine league goals in that time.

Despite argubaly 2 pathetic seasons in London, the Ukaranian is determined to prove himself and win a place in the hearts of Blues' fans.

“During these two years at Chelsea I had two operations and a serious back injury,” Shevchenko told the club’s official website.

“If I will have the opportunity to train and play without injuries, I would like to leave my mark on the history of Chelsea.

“Injuries constantly kept me out of action.”

I have trained with the team only a week,” Shevchenko added. “The process of recovery is taking place normally and the injury doesn’t bother me.

“It is gratifying that the coach gave me an opportunity to get back to the rhythm of playing [during pre-season].

“We had a good conversation. I’m only now getting into shape and recovering from injury, so prefence is given to those players who are in better form.

“The coach always chooses the best players in order to choose the best scheme. I very much respect Scolari as a man and a great coach.

“I think the challenge for the coach now is to find the optimum team and help the players achieve their best form.

“Scolari has enough players to change the scheme of the game. He will be able to judge the best strategy.”
