Ukraine 2-1 Sweden: A last dance for Shevchenko

Ukraine and Sweden have closed the first round of Euro 2012 with victory for the local 2-1. Curiously, the parties we least expect, we are getting the most joy. Small teams know they are humble these duels where they score the points that allow them to dream of a round pass. While the clashes between the major powers are emerging yawning, with the exception of the match between Spain and Italy -. Fear of defeat and start running out of room for error, was tangible during these four days.

As we say, the party has been most entertaining to date, with a Ukraine that has a great image, much higher than expected, and that Sweden has left almost in the ditch at the first hurdle. Given that the group will be accompanied throughout France and England , all options are led by Ibrahimovic and very remote. Ibrahimovic scored a goal for his team, and showed that it must have for the Swedish game. The most dangerous moves must go through him.

However, I must say that Ibrahimovic and his goal were quite overshadowed by another man. A man who wants to delight with Ukraine last dance , and in his own room. Andrei Shevchenko is. A player in the history not only of Ukraine but in world football. With two headers master, has been around the game and awarded the victory to his team.

Shevchenko is 35 years. His physique is no longer allowed to be the striker who sowed panic with elastic AC Milan. It is very difficult for him to win a sprint or dribble an opponent, but however, does not wear eye for goal. It's something I can attest as Raul and other famous Inzaghi. One need only be on site at the right time.

Shevchenko, who retired on 80 minutes with a stunning ovation, it was enough for seven minutes to make his mark with two headers impeccable. But best of both goals is the final shot, but uncheck the movements that preceded it. A clear sign that Sheva does not accompany the physical, but remains always the same hunter.

Shevchenko set goals, Voronin moves across the field, carrying the baton from Tymoschuk game while Konoplianka Yarmolenko and provide all the danger percussing tireless bands. Ukraine has been uncovered as a whole but with a humble enviable directed by the heat of an entire hobby, and many of the most interesting players. With these three points against Sweden, why not dream of a ticket to the quarter?
