J.Mourinho: "Drogba will help Shevchenko" © EuroFootball.com

Despite the fact that Salomon Kalou and Andriy Shevchenko arrived in London, the coach of this club, Jose Mourinho, insists that Drogba will remain with the Premier League champions and will play up front with A. Shevchenko.

Many people said that when Andriy comes, Drogba will leave, but such thoughts cannot even be considered," said the Portuguese - "They are two forwards, but their playing styles are different. Shevchenko is a smart, creative player, he moves quickly with or without the ball. He is an exceptional player. Didier is strong, powerful, a fighter, he creates fantastic opportunities for other players to score."

Last month there were reports that D.Drogba wanted to move elsewhere, possibly to a Serie A club, because he was unhappy with the rules set for him at Chelsea. He had to play withdrawn and tear apart the opponents' defense.

Despite all this, J.Mourinho stated that D.Drogba has no chance of leaving the team. The Portuguese is ready to use A. Shevchenko, who cost around 30 million pounds, and the 24 million-pound D.Drogba in the same position.

"Andriy has played many times in the 4-4-2 formation in the Milan team. Chelsea also often plays with the same formation," Mourinho said.

D.Drogba joined Chelsea from Marseille two years ago, and the 24 million pounds paid for him at that time was a record sum for the club. D.Drogba still has a one year contract with Chelsea.
