- No going back for Shev
Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko has admitted that he has not made the best start to life in the Premiership.
The Ukraine international moved to Stamford Bridge from AC Milan in a £30million transfer in the summer and has scored only one goal, at Middlesbrough, in his seven Premiership appearances for the Blues to date.
"Players go through difficult times and it happens to everyone," admitted the 30-year-old. "But I feel young and full of energy.
"I chose Chelsea and I will continue on this path. Nothing can change my choice. Life goes beyond football.
"I feel more free here than in Italy. The life of a footballer in London is more simple, football is a show that finishes once the game is over.
"I understand the foreigners who speak English and then (Frank) Lampard and (John) Terry help me out.
"I am not Abramovich's golden boy. I am just a player and he is my president, he takes care of all his players."
