Chelsea's record signing Andriy Shevchenko is determined to ensure he will never suffer the same 'diver' taunts that blighted team-mate Didier Drogba last season.
Drogba was singled out for criticism by pundits, fans and opposing players last term when he was accused of diving and feigning injury during Chelsea's successful title defence.
The Ivory Coast international was so stunned by the outcry over his antics that he was on the brink of leaving Stamford Bridge - claiming he no longer enjoyed football in England.
Drogba has tried to clean up his image since last season but new signing Shevchenko, who scored Chelsea's goal in the 2-1 Community Shield defeat by Liverpool in Cardiff on Sunday, insists he will never have the same problems during his time in the Barclays Premiership.
Shevchenko said: 'I believe, especially here in England, I don't think the public like this kind of play. I've never done this in my whole life and I don't think I will ever do it.'
Shevchenko's strike clearly demonstrated why Chelsea had splashed out over £30million to bring him to Stamford Bridge. But his decision to kiss the Chelsea badge as he celebrated upset the AC Milan fans he left behind.
The Italians had been led to believe he would not kiss the badge of any other club but the Ukraine international claims it was all done in the heat of the moment and he was not looking to upset anyone.
Shevchenko said: 'The only shirt I ever kissed was that of my own country - Ukraine. When you are celebrating a goal you don't think about what you are doing.
'I never thought that I was doing that (upsetting Milan fans). That was not my intention. Playing for Milan, I won the supporters over, not for my celebrations but with the high quality of my game for seven years.'
