Terry: Sheva has point to prove
England skipper John Terry has warned his team-mates not to underestimate Ukraine striker Andriy Shevchenko this week.Shevchenko endured a miserable two years at Chelsea before returning to AC Milan but he will be back in London for Wednesday's World Cup qualifier at Wembley.Terry knows Shevchenko from their time together at Stamford Bridge and is wary of the 32-year-old undermining England's perfect start in qualifiers on the road to South Africa next year."Things didn't go too well for him at Chelsea but he is a quality player, a great finisher and, when you forget about him, he pops up with a goal," Terry said."He has a first-class touch and a great finish. We need to be very aware of him. He is a big player over there so, when he plays there, he says the pressure is on him and he always want to do well."He'll be coming here for two reasons: to prove Chelsea (wrong) and to prove himself."England warmed up for the Ukraine clash with a 4-0 friendly win against Slovakia on Saturday, although Terry feels they are still getting to grips with playing at the refurbished Wembley."We still have a long way to go," he said. "With the tempo and style at club level, we come here and the pitch is an awful lot bigger."We like to be in the faces of teams and like to play the way we do with our clubs. It's a very good pitch out there and, if we keep improving, hopefully we'll get there."David Beckham broke the caps record for outfield players with his 45 minutes against Slovakia, while Terry notched up his 50th cap - now his target is to get to triple figures."That would be nice," he said. "I've been a bit overshadowed but I'll take that, it was a great achievement for Becks."It was a great achievement for myself and that is the target when you first come into the squad. You set yourself a target and mine was 50. Now I'm there, I want to reach 100. If I stay fit, I have a chance."Emile Heskey, Carlton Cole and Peter Crouch picked up injuries against Slovakia but the good news is Rio Ferdinand should be back to face Ukraine after sitting out the friendly win with a minor back complaint."He just had a tweak in training so I think it was a precaution," Terry said.[LNB]
