Shevchenko fired home

Shares no longer attack to terrorize Rebrov from the east across Europe with Dynamo Kiev that surprised the entire continent, including Madrid and Barcelona, ​​who were unable to stop a young Ukrainian striker explosiveness out of the common. Nor Rossoneri shirt dresses and excluding and the surprise factor but Andriy Shevchenko which reached a new dimension in football, winning a Golden Ball, a Champions League, two Capocannoniere and various other titles. Legend in Milan. Today is 35 years old that no longer allow it to be that player with unstoppable speed and technique, The White Ronaldo called him. But nevertheless continues to set goals for Dynamo Kiev, where he returned three years ago, and remains one of the stars of a Ukrainian national team playing at home and with which Sheva says will be his last major tournament selections.

The Shevchenko appeared to be the same story of those great players belonging to a team that was not competitive enough to participate in major tournaments, as were the cases of Giggs with Wales Weah in Liberia. Ukraine, young team, born after the dissolution of the USSR , Seemed to have the potential to achieve qualification for the World Cup or European Championship, despite the aforementioned legendary Dynamo Kiev Lobanovskiy was the great revelation of the Champions League of late 90's and reached the semifinals , 1999. However, Ukraine was a great qualifying for the World Cup in Germany in 2006, despite falling is undeniably defeated in the opening match against Spain recovered and reached the quarter-finals, where he was defeated by Italy. It was the only participation of Shevchenko and his country in a big tournament selections so far.

For never reached the European Championship qualifying, so this is the first Euro for Ukraine and the first and last for Shevchenko, who may leave the selection to his audience. Options for Ukraine to make a big tournament are slim, but Shevchenko is optimistic about the team and thinks they are accompanied by the luck could go far. Sheva, by far the top scorer in team history with 46 goals in 105 games, never had its best year since has only played a dozen games, none between December and April due to a series of injuries, but still confident the best player in history to be the stylet Zbima (the yellow and blue). It will be with Anatoli Timoschuk player with most appearances with the selection (107), the great ambassadors of the selections organizers.

Shevchenko lived a before and after in his career after his move to Chelsea, at age 29 when he was one of the great objects of desire of Roman Abramovich, who signed for 46 million. Never adapted to Chelsea or the Premier and was only two seasons. He returned to Milan on loan, but neither striker was again to do that story. It was time to return to Kiev, to his home, where she smiled with football. Now finish the contract and, although it will leave the team after Euro (although in these cases the corrections are on the agenda) will evaluate the different offers to remain in business. But now will play fight with France, England and Sweden's Ibrahimovic (which will be a duel between past and present AC Milan) in a difficult group to move to quarters. It seems impossible task, but one of the best players in the last two decades believed in theirs.
