Mourinho still has faith in Shevchenko

Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho insists that record buy Andriy Shevchenko is not finding it hard to adapt to the game in England despite his difficult start to the season.

The former AC Milan striker, bought for £30million by Chelsea during the summer, has yet to show the kind of form that made him one of the most feared strikers throughout the world.

Shevchenko has been forced to take a back seat to Ivory Coast strike partner Didier Drogba who hit a spectacular winner against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

But Mourinho is confident that it will not be long before the Ukraine international begins to score goals regularly.

Mourinho said: 'Sheva is an absolutely beautiful player. But at the moment I know you want more from him. I want more from him. He wants more from himself.

'I don't think he has problems adapting because we are playing exactly the same style and system he played at Milan. But he's happy. He will score goals, for sure.'

Goals are not proving to be a problem for Ivorian Drogba who took his tally for the season to four with a glorious volley against Rafael Benitez's side.

Now the striker believes the Chelsea faithful are finally seeing the kind of form and power that won him the player of the year accolade in France three seasons ago.

Drogba's 11 goals helped Marseille to reach the final of the UEFA Cup and a further 18 in the French league alerted the attention of Chelsea among others.

Drogba declared: 'This is the kind of goal I used to score when I was in Marseille. I am happy to score this kind of goal.

'It is quick, you don't really have much time to think about it. On Tuesday when we played in the Champions League, I tried a volley and I didn't score and I knew there was going to be another one coming in the next game.'
