This summer has been full of rumors of Milan and Chelsea players switching between the two teams. (Kaka to Chelsea, Drogba to Milan, Pirlo to Chelsea, Ivanovic to Milan). However, the only rumor that made me happy was that Andriy Shevchenko was coming back to Milan! From 1999 to 2006 Sheva played for Milan. He won a Champions League, Scudetto, Supercoppa Italiana, Coppa Italia, and UEFA Super cup. Also, he was Serie A top scorer twice, and he was European Footballer of the Year in 2004. He came in 3rd for the FIFA world player of the year in that same year. In addition, he is the 4th highest scorer in European club competitions (Inazaghi is the first) and AC Milan's second highest scorer of all time.
He only moved to Chelsea in 2006 because his wife wanted to, and he still was in close contact with the team. He talks on the phone with Kaka on a regular basis, and even attended Maldini's 40th birthday party in June. Everyone is really happy that he's back, and Galliani ( Milan's presindent, kind of) mentioned that he shouldn't have left, but now he knows that Milan is his home. Even though this signing is mostly the result of Silvio Berlusconi (you know... Milan's owner and Italy's Prime Minister?) wanting him back, fans, players, and everyone is happy. Yay!
