Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko wants to have more playing time in order to regain his form that saw him named European Player of the Year during his AC Milan tenure. "I don't play so much, because we have lot of games and I had my back problem, and I don't play for a long time, maybe a couple of times but I don't have so much time to play," Sheva told Chelsea official website. "It's difficult because it's too busy, life on the pitch. You need the pitch, competition and to play with the team." The Ukrainian striker has never lived up to his reputation since arriving at Stamford Bridge from Italian giants Milan in the summer of 2006. Shevchenko called on his teammates to stick together in order to cope with the sudden change of management. Portuguese boss Jose Mourinho left the Blues by mutual consent and was replaced by Israeli coach Avram Grant. "It's a difficult moment for the club, the players, the team, because of big changes in the house, so it's a big moment for the players to stick together and do the best for our club."
