The return of Andriy Shevchenko at Dynamo Kiev had on a hot autumn of 2009 the first, which presented a a footballer and his team and the national team has been disappointing. However, the experienced owner of the “Golden Ball continues his career, driven by a dream to speak for Ukraine at the home of Euro 2012. About all that was accompanied by a difficult life Shevchenko’s football in recent months – to review Sport.ru

On his return to the game after the injury: “I’m back in good physical condition, and again I enjoy football. It is very important.” In the last season because of problems with the neck I was a shadow of himself. Injury did not allow me to work as I can, and play at their usual level. Ever since I returned to Kiev, I have not missed a single match, and if I’m not mistaken, no training. The feeling of the ball again with me, as a regular practice матчевая helped restore focus. The only thing I would still like to buy – is a little more luck. ”

On presentation of the home team 10 years later: “Dinamo” has been the club of European level in the late 90’s. Everything was very professional, both in Chelsea or Milan. Of course, the football culture in England or Italy is more developed, and the best players have not come to play in the Ukraine. However, when I was thinking about returning to Ukraine, I realized the level of the team and what I can improve it. Valery Gazzaev requires of us a strong and aggressive manner of game. He gives me instructions, and I try to follow them on the field. I know that sometimes choose the wrong position, but in general, things are bad. It was very difficult in the first matches, I felt that my physical condition is not optimal. But with time things went smoothly, and this fall I have gotten a second wind. ”

On the game for Milan and councils Lobanovskiy: “Shortly after I moved to Milan, Valery Lobanovsky told me:” Andrew, you’ve become more score, but worse to play. “My club coach demanded that I concentrated on attack, although I felt that I could also set back, but as a player, I had to listen and do as asked me to coach. In Kiev, all came back to square one. I work for the team, and goals, I hope, will come, because I get pleasure from the work that I do. ”

About the best players of the Ukrainian Premier League: “In addition to my teammates, it’s Fernandinho of Shakhtar and Zhazha of Kharkov” Metalist “, and Serhiy Nazarenko, Ruslan Rotan, good speakers for Dnipro. I was surprised the game 17 — summer Maxima Koval for Zaporozhye Metalurg – in games against us and Shakhtar, he took some cool saved his team. Everyone is talking about it. It usually starts a big career, but he needs to continue to work hard. ”

On the failures of the past: “In the Champions League Dynamo missed his chance in the match against Inter.” In Italy we had the best game of the season, but finished it only a draw, but at home in Kiev missed two goals in the final minutes. I can not explain what happened. We have a young team and we just lost. But this defeat also brought us the experience and in that sense it might be useful. next fall Dynamo appear even more aggressive. With regard to the national team, then we should be patient and wait until a new generation of players will be ready. FC Dynamo Kyiv in the age of 19 won the European championship, and we need to wait until these players grow up. We have the right strategy and I am confident that the results will come. ”

On further motivation: “I want to win every match. I want to win, even in training!” It Turns Me On. I also have a desire to play in his native country at Euro 2012, giving a maximum of Ukraine. After a frustrating end to World Cup qualification -2010 This is my new challenge, or even a dream. I will do everything to achieve it.
