Mourinho Cannot Explain Shevchenko's Bad Shape The Portuguese also praised Didier Drogbe for his great shape this start of the season	By Ovidiu Panzariu, Sports Editor 19th of September 2006, 10:56 GMT Adjust text size:


Everybody thought that Chelsea will change top scorers this season. With Andryi Shevchenko and Michael Ballack as the biggest names of the transfer action this summer, Jose Mourinho was convinced that the Ukrainian will make a remarkable debut inside the Premiership. Still, Sheva failed to score in Chelsea's last 4 games and is now worrying the Blues' fans. And - yet another time - people are being given the true proof of Mourinho's talent. Despite everybody not giving a damn about Didier Drogba's staying or leaving the club, Mourinho insisted that the Ivorian should stay. And Drogba scored match after match for Chelsea. The latest goal came this weekend, against Livepool. Mouirnho is convinced, though, that Sheva will soon recover and take Drogba's example on the field. "I expect to see a better Shevchenko with the same Drogba. Didier is right where he has to be, very strong physically and available to fight in every aspect of the game.He is scoring goals, working in defence and attack, helping out at set-pieces, everything" "Sheva knows I want more from him. He wants more from himself. I don't think he can say he has had problems adapting to our style of play because at the moment we are using the system he played all his life at AC Milan. But he is an absolutely beautiful player and I know he will come good. He will score goals and will finish the season among the Premiership's top goal scorers", admitted Mourinho in The Sun. The Ukrainian was one of Chelsea's biggest signings since Abramovich took over at Stanford Bridge. The former Milan striker moved to England this summer - before the World Cup - for 40 million euros. He scored twice for Chelsea this season: one goal against Liverpool in the Community Shield and one in his team's only loss of the season, 1-2 at Middlesbrough.
