After the international break the two face off the in the Derby della Madonnina, and the Rossoneri legend spoke about the state of both teams with Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I’m enthusiastic about Milan,” Shevchenko admitted, ahead of the Milan derby live streaming.
“They’ve finally found their direction, and with Paolo Maldini and Leonardo the serenity is back.
“There’s huge seriousness and there was a good transfer campaign, and they’ve put their faith in the Coach [Rino Gattuso].
“No-one is staying they have to win the Champions League, they’re under construction but they’re getting back to being competitive.
“That brings me satisfaction, the seriousness and professionalism of this Milan makes me proud. They’ve got work to do, but they’ll return to the top.
“Rino is not just a character, he’s proven to be a Coach who knows how to bring something else to the team.
“Least year I spoke about Patrick Cutrone and said he was good, he always finds the back of the net and that’s the crucial thing for a striker. [Gonzalo] Higuain will help him to improve.
“It’s right to build a team thinking about the future and young people, but Gonzalo is in the middle of his career and he’s not going to stop scoring anytime soon.
“He’s a player who is used to Serie A and has already shown what he can do. He shifts the balance and helps the team, and not just by scoring.”
Shevchenko also gave his assessment of Milan’s city rivals.
“They started badly, but the results are coming slowly. [Luciano] Spalletti is a solid Coach and Inter have quality players, not just [Mauro] Icardi.
“He [Icardi] is a great striker who is a captain, leader and key player for how he can fire-up his teammates.
“The world of football has changed, but Milan remains a city of great tradition. I think both Milan and Inter are finding the right path, and just have to take things step-by-step.”
