I had a hard time at Chelsea mainly because I was injured much of the time. Every time I recovered from one injury I seemed to get a new one and it set me back again.

My fitness is good. I hope to improve it even further during training.

When I was a child, it was my dream to be a professional footballer. When I was 14 I visited Milan's San Siro stadium and remember thinking how unbelievable it was. From then onwards I vowed that one day I would be playing there - and I am very proud that I achieved this and also for everything else I have managed to achieve in football.

Shevchenko is the best attacker in Europe. He has a great deal of consistency and he just keeps scoring - which in Italian football is very difficult. He is a complete player, someone who can do everything on a football field. Andriy Shevchenko

There is a great responsibility on the team to perform well, because our supporters and the whole of the country are expecting us to do just that.
Andriy Shevchenko -
It meant a lot to me that Chelsea have wanted me for the last three years and that is the reason I chose them. It was important for me to come to a club with the same level of excellence. It is a great team and it is important to play for a great team.
Andriy Shevchenko -
We are playing at home, with full stadiums and passionate fans. It will be very special moment for me.
Andriy Shevchenko -
I still follow Chelsea's fortunes.

We might have a quick word with each other but that is natural as we both speak Russian. Maybe I shouldn't speak Russian!

If my goals and victories can help the world remember Chernobyl and bring a smile to the face of the people still suffering then I dedicate all my success to them.
