Now in my opinion, I believe Chelsea have made one of the best signings possible. Here is a player who is the definition of a goal scorer, and has one of the most impressive scoring records. Since breaking onto the European scene spearheading Dynamo Kiev's attack, his immense success attracted much attention, and unsuprisingly the big boys of Europe, AC Milan lured him. Voted European footballer of the year, and winner of Serie A, Champions league, Italian supercup to name a few, he has finally been prised from Milan by a whopping thirty million from Chelsea's chequebook. Probably the greatest loss for Milan, and the greatest gain for Chelsea, it seems that the premiership champions have aquired a player whom can provide them with easily twenty plus goals a season, and the European thrust which they desperately desire. Having said all this, it is shocking that Konami got a lot of his features wrong, and he is a player with which an update is definitely required.
Predatorial instinct, and strikers gift - So the first noticable thing is that he has immensely high values in key areas for strikers. His attack is 97, response 95, aggression 93, and he has both the positioning and lines stars. He has supreme awareness of both his own positioning, and of surrounding players, and is second to none at getting the right position, EVERY time. If defenders go to sleep, they will be punished. There is no getting lucky with Shevchenko, and if defenders give him half a yard, he will turn that half a yard into a goal. He also gets up to join in with every attack, even if we see him starting in deeper positions, so in that sense he is outstanding aswell. To put it simply, I would say he has the best positioning sense and awareness there is, seconded probably by RVN. All these features are EXACTLY what Chelsea have missed in the past, and it seems now Shevchenko will become paramount to their success this season. They may have had success with Drogba and his team work, but when he is put along side Shevchenko, the difference in class is huge, and it doesnt bode well for other premiership teams. Just look at the Charity Shield match to see how Shevchenko overshadowed Drogba.
Physical attributes - Another great area of Shevchenko is that he couples his instincts with strength, pace and a hefty jump. He has the pace to run at players, the strength to outmuscle them. In short he has the ability to create things for himself, not just be provided. This sets him apart from a player like RVN. While RVN has the same outstanding positional sense, Shevchenko can pick up the ball on the halfway line, and run and barge at defenders all day long. His mobility is great, and his pace carries him around the pitch coupled with his high stamina. This is something Chelsea lacked with Crespo; he was a box player, nothing more. With Shevchenko, you can stick him out on the wing, and he will have just as much success, so in that sense he has a certain versatility to him in that he is capable of playing across the width of the field, not just the centre. Its hard to emphasis just how good a player he is in terms of mobility and getting him self around the pitch, and creating chances for himself. It is something you dont see now in players. A player may have one of these great features, if you are lucky, two. But Andrei wraps all these features up into a 30 million pound package:laugh:, and it is outstanding when you stand back and look at it!
Natural finisher - So he has the pace, power, instinct and mobility, what next? Well I dont like to use the word 'outstanding' to often, but it is extremely appropriate describing Andrei's finishing. He is an elite finisher, rivalled only by the likes of Ronaldo, Henry, RVN, and is just another tool in his armoury. 96 shot accuracy and 93 shot technique are testament to his superb accuracy and ability. He is one of those players who it is never in doubt will score in 1-1's. Look at his goal against Liverpool. If it was Drogba, or Darren Bent, or Defoe, you might have an element of doubt, but with Shevchenk you can jump out your seat safe in the knowledge that it is rolling in the corner. (Well I did:laugh:!) I debated for a while whether or not middle shooting is appropriate, and I would leave it up to you whether to use it or not. I use it now, mainly so we can get those non rotating shots which Sheva can definitely produce from distance, and he is definitely potent from range. I dont think I need to say anything about the scoring and 1-1 scoring special stars! He takes a great free kick, so check out his stats in for accuracy and curling, and has lovely heading ability. With feet or head, from distance or close range, he can score. Simple as that.
Thats really all I want to say about him. I am sure everyone is aware of him, but I cannot give him enough praise. He is the best all round striker in my opinion, even slightly edging Henry. The ability to read play is a rare gift especially in strikers, and he utilises it to the best effect. He finishing, awareness, positioning, attacking willingness are second to none. Add to this great pace and strength, heading ability, stamina and mentality, and the will and desire, and you have a player whom I can only describe as a true football legend.
Oh physique and boots coming soon people.
