تشيفا يعود للتهديف

Andrei Shevchenko has left the door open for a return to AC Milan if Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho decides the Ukraine international does not fit in his plans.

Shevchenko, who joined the Premiership champions from Milan in a deal worth £30 million this summer, is yet to prove himself to the high maintenance manager.

"Unfortunately my game doesn't suit Mourinho," Shevchenko told The Daily Mirror on Thursday.

The former Ballon D'Or winner has just scored his first UEFA Champions League goal for Chelsea in the 2-0 win over Levski Sofia on Tuesday.

But the Ukraine skipper knows he could do more.

"I do understand Mourinho," said the 30-year-old striker. "I'm not scoring as many as I would like to."

Shevchenko insisted he was happy at Stamford Bridge, but said he would be fine if Mourinho decides to let him go.

"I feel at home at Chelsea, and it's felt like my team for a long time," said the prolific forward.

"Everyone has been writing about me being sent on loan to Milan. I still haven't discussed this question with the management, but the bosses themselves probably still haven't decided."

Despite the scarcity of his goals, Shevchenko remains confident of his abilities.

"If it (a move to Milan) happens, I'm ready to pack my bags. I'm a completely self-confident person. If I don't suit somebody then I'll go back to Italy, no problem, and prove how good I can still be.

"I'm not finished as a player. On the other hand, I have nothing to prove to anybody.

Everybody already knows what Andrei Shevchenko is capable of," he added.

Asked whether his relationship with Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich could pressure Mourinho to keep him in London, Sheva said: "Roman is my friend and completely on my side."

"But all he could do was insist on a loan deal instead of me being sold.

"Abramovich isn't really putting his foot down over it, although he could do as the owner of the club," added Shevchenko.
