[b]Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has told Andrei Shevchenko
and Michael Ballack to make sure they put the team's interests
first.
The future of both players is still uncertain with neither
particularly shining in the Premier League so far.
And Mourinho has warned the pair to start performing or risk being
left out of the squad.
"Shevchenko and Ballack have to give more because their status is
not superior to that of the others," Mourinho told The Sun.
"Each is a champion," he added. "They have quality, status and
fame. They're rich and have already won a lot of trophies. All that
is an undeniable fact.
"But it's one thing their being the centre surrounded by 20
nobodies, and it's something else these two players arriving at a
club where the others are already champions, famous and
rich."
Equal
Mourinho insists everyone at the club is equal in their abilities
and their quality and that no player should receive star
treatment.
"We were prepared to receive players such as Shevchenko or Ballack
because they are of the same dimension as those already playing at
Chelsea," said Mourinho.
"Lampard, Terry, Drogba are equal to these two," he added.
"But you can't build anything if you have to have someone special
at its centre. When you have a group, everyone has to be equal to
achieve the end we all want."[/b]
