Mourinho lose patience with Shevchenko
|
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has reportedly lost patience with goal-shy striker Andriy Shevchenko.
The Sun says Sunday's dreadful 75 minutes against Manchester United appears to be the final straw for Mourinho and he wants to buy Valencia striker David Villa in January.
As far as the coach is concerned, he has done everything he can to get the best from Sheva and now he no longer feels obliged to persist with Abramovich's friend.
Last week he dropped Sheva from the starting line-up for the match against Werder Bremen in a bid to provoke a reaction in him.
It did but not the one Mourinho was looking for. Rather than fuel a desire to prove him wrong the striker instead complained to other players at being left out.
Then, when he was brought on as a sub, he failed to make any impact and his display was later described in private as "embarrassing" by one of Mourinho's coaching staff.
His inclusion at Old Trafford was viewed as an unofficial last chance. He did not take it.
