EPL: Andriy Shevchenko Goes Back to AC Milan
August 24th 2008 02:26
Sheva, back to happier times?
All that seems to be in the past, however, as both Chelsea and AC Milan announced today that they have found an agreement for the striker's transfer. The move benefits both clubs. For Chelsea, his departure will make one less person to please, and will give plenty of space to Nicolas Anelka until Drogba's return from a knee injury. Since Scolari seems to have found a way to get Anelka going, there's no doubt that Chelsea won't miss Shevchenko. As for Milan, they finally have a third option to spearhead the attack. Inzaghi's age and Pato's youth and inconsistency have made life hard for the Rossoneri's attack which came in fits and starts last season, subsequently putting the club out of the running for the league's title and the Champions League. Shevchenko is a great asset, not too old and a lot more experienced than Pato. Furthermore, he is seen as a legend in eyes of Milan's fans. The second all-time scorer in the history of the club with 173 goals in 298 appearances, he'll look to add to that number and bring Milan back on top. The question is, will the fans welcome him back?
