Andriy Mykolayovych Shevchenko (Template:Lang-uk; born 29 September 1976) is a Ukrainian footballer who plays for Dynamo Kyiv and the Ukraine national team as a striker. He is the third-highest scorer in the history of European club competition with 67 goals as of 10 March 2011, behind Filippo Inzaghi and Raúl. With 175 goals scored with A.C. Milan, Shevchenko is the second most prolific player in the history of the club, and is also the all-time top scorer of the Derby della Madonnina (derby between A.C. Milan and their local rivals Internazionale) with 14 goals and Ukraine national football team with 46 goals.

Shevchenko's career has been highlighted by many awards, the most prestigious of which was the Ballon d'Or in 2004 (becoming the third Ukrainian, after Oleg Blokhin and Igor Belanov to receive it). He won the UEFA Champions League in 2003 with Milan, and he has also won various league and cup titles in Ukraine, Italy, and England.

In his illustrious international career, the striker led the Ukraine national football team as captain to the quarter finals in their first ever FIFA World Cup appearance in 2006.

Early life

Shevchenko was nine when the Chernobyl nuclear disaster occurred in April 1986. His village was affected by the disaster, and his family was forced to abandon their home and relocate to the coast to escape the after-effects.[2] At an early age, he was a competitive boxer in the LLWI Ukrainian junior league, but eventually he elected to move on to football.

Club career

Dynamo Kyiv

In 1986, Shevchenko failed a dribbling test for entrance to a specialist sports school in Kiev, but happened to catch the eye of a Dynamo Kyiv scout while playing in a youth tournament, and was thus brought to the club. Four years later, Shevchenko was on the Dynamo Kyiv under-14 team for the Ian Rush Cup (now the Welsh Super Cup); he finished as the tournament's top scorer and was awarded a pair of Rush's boots as a prize by the then-Liverpool player.

In 1992–93, Shevchenko was the top scorer for Dynamo-2 with twelve goals, and he made his first appearance in the starting eleven. He won his second league title next season, scoring six goals in 20 matches, and scored a hat trick in the first half of a 1997–98 Champions League road match against Barcelona, which Dynamo won 4–0. His nineteen goals in 23 league matches and six goals in ten Champions League matches (including a Hat Trick over two legs against Real Madrid) were followed by 28 total goals in all competitions in 1998–99. He won the domestic league title with Dynamo in each of his five seasons with the club.

Milan

In 1999, Shevchenko joined Italian club A.C. Milan for a then-record transfer fee of $25 million. He made his league debut on 28 August 1999 in a 2–2 draw with Lecce.[3] Alongside other 5 players (Michel Platini, John Charles, Gunnar Nordahl, Istvan Nyers and Férénc Hirzer) he managed, as a foreign player, to win the Serie A scoring title in his debut season, finishing with 24 goals in 32 matches. Shevchenko maintained his excellent form into the 2000–01 season, scoring 24 goals in 34 matches. Shevchenko also managed to score nine goals in 14 matches in the Champions League, however Milan failed to get past the second group stage.

Despite netting only five times in 24 matches, mainly due to injuries, Shevchenko became the first Ukrainian-born player to win the Champions League after Milan lifted their sixth trophy in 2002–03. He scored the winning penalty in the shoot out against arch-rivals Juventus in the final, which had ended goalless after extra time. Following AC Milan winning the Champions League, Shevchenko flew to Kyiv to put his medal by the grave of Valeriy Lobanovskyi (who he managed him when he was at Dynamo Kiev), who died in 2002.He finished top goalscorer in Serie A (2003–04) for the second time in his career, scoring 24 goals in 32 matches as Milan won the Scudetto for the first time in five years. He also scored the winning goal in the UEFA Super Cup victory over F.C. Porto, leading to Milan's second trophy of the season. In August 2004, he scored three goals against S.S. Lazio as Milan won the Supercoppa Italiana. Shevchenko capped off the year by being named the 2004 European Player of the Year, becoming the third Ukrainian player ever to win the award after Oleg Blokhin and Igor Belanov. In the same year, Shevchenko was also inducted into the FIFA 100.

He scored seventeen goals in the 2004–05 season after missing several games with a fractured cheekbone. Shevchenko made Champions League history the following season; on 23 November 2005, he scored all four goals in Milan's 4–0 group-stage drubbing of Fenerbahçe, becoming only the fifth player to accomplish this feat (his company includes Marco van Basten, Simone Inzaghi, Dado Pršo and Ruud van Nistelrooy; Lionel Messi joined that group in the 2009–10 season as well) and the only one to have done it in an away game. Milan eventually lost the tournament when Shevchenko missed the crucial penalty in the final against Liverpool. In the 2005–06 season, he scored his last Milan goal in the second leg of the quarter–finals as they eliminated Lyon after a last-minute comeback in a 3–1 victory.[4] In the semi–finals, Milan lost to eventual winners Barcelona 1–0, a match where Shevchenko controversially had a last minute equalizer denied by the referee.[5] Despite this, he still ended up being the top scorer of the whole competition with nine goals in 12 games.[6]

On 8 February 2006, he became Milan's second highest all-time goalscorer, behind Gunnar Nordahl, after netting against Treviso.[7] He finished the season as joint fourth top scorer with 19 goals in 28 games. Shevchenko ended his seven year stint with A.C. Milan with 175 goals in 296 games.

Chelsea

Shevchenko with Chelsea

During the summer of 2005, there were persistent reports that Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich offered a record sum of €75.2 million and striker Hernán Crespo to Milan in exchange for Shevchenko.[8] Milan refused the monetary offer but took Crespo on loan. Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon was quoted as saying, "I think Shevchenko is the type of player we would like. At the end of the day to improve what we have got, it has to be a great player and Shevchenko certainly comes into that class."[9] Shevchenko cited that the persistence of Abramovich was a key factor in his move.[10] Milan, desperate to keep the striker, vainly offered Shevchenko a six year contract extension.[11]

On 28 May 2006, Shevchenko left Milan for Chelsea for £30.8 million (€43.875million[12]), topping Michael Essien's transfer fee from the previous year and also breaking the record for a player signed by an English club.[13] He received the number seven shirt, as Chelsea coach José Mourinho said that Shevchenko could continue wearing it.[14]

Shevchenko on Tour with Chelsea 2007.

Shevchenko made his debut for Chelsea on 13 August 2006 in the FA Community Shield, scoring his side's goal in a 2–1 loss to Liverpool. On 23 August, he scored his first Premier League goal — and his 300th in top-flight and international football — in a 2–1 loss to Middlesbrough. He scored goals sporadically throughout the season, including equalisers against Porto and Valencia in the UEFA Champions League and another against Tottenham Hotspur to help take his side into the FA Cup semifinals. He finished with a total of 14 from 51 games. During the campaign he netted his 57th career goal in European competitions, leaving him second behind Gerd Müller on the all-time European goalscorers list, before Filippo Inzaghi made the record his own in the 2007–08 season.[15] Shevchenko's 2006–07 season was cut short due to injury and a hernia operation. He missed the Champions League semi-finals against Liverpool and the FA Cup Final against Manchester United at the new Wembley Stadium on 19 May 2007.[16] He did however start for Chelsea in the 2007 Football League Cup Final victory over Arsenal in which he hit the bar which would have given Chelsea a 3–1 lead.

Shevchenko was handed his first start of the 2007–08 season against Blackburn Rovers at home to cover for the injured Didier Drogba, but the game finished goalless. His first goal of the season came three days later, equalising for Chelsea in a match against Rosenborg which turned out to be Jose Mourinho's last game as manager of Chelsea. Throughout the season Shevchenko was in and out of the starting lineup because of injuries and the appointment of Avram Grant following the departure of José Mourinho. However, during the Christmas period Shevchenko enjoyed a good run of form. He scored the first goal in Chelsea's 2–0 win over Sunderland A.F.C., and he was named Man of the Match in Chelsea's 4–4 draw against Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge, scoring twice (including a stunning 25 yard shot into the top left hand corner) and assisting Alex to make the score 3–2 in Chelsea's favour. Shevchenko scored his last goal in the 2007–08 season in a 1–1 draw with Bolton Wanderers F.C. He finished the season with five league goals in 17 games. Shevchenko also played a part in a pre-season match which was against his former team A.C. Milan.

Shevchenko playing for Milan

Loan to Milan

Shevchenko was not used very often in the starting lineup at Chelsea, and with the appointment of Luiz Felipe Scolari he was deemed surplus to requirements. Due to this, Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani offered to take Shevchenko back to the San Siro, Shevchenko was loaned back to his old club Milan for the 2008–09 season.

Shevchenko's second spell is considered unsuccessful, as he failed to score any league goals, and only scored two goals in 26 appearances, however Shevchenko only started nine games. At the end of the season, Milan confirmed that Shevchenko would be returning to Chelsea for the final year of his 4-year contract. At the end of that season it was also announced that Milan's manager, Carlo Ancelotti, would also be leaving to join Chelsea.

After making a late appearance for Chelsea in their second game of the 2009–10 season, Ancelotti announced that Shevchenko would be likely to leave Chelsea before the summer transfer window closed.[17] Despite this, Ancelotti said it had nothing to do with his decision to leave Shevchenko out of Chelsea's 2009–10 Champions League squad, but just to continue playing first-team football.[18]

Return to Dynamo Kyiv

On 28 August 2009, Shevchenko signed a two-year deal at his former club Dynamo Kyiv[19] and scored a penalty-goal in his first game upon returning to his former club against FC Metalurh Donetsk in Dynamo's 3–1 victory on 31 August 2009. On 16 September 2009, Shevchenko played his first Champions League match after returning to Dynamo, against FC Rubin Kazan in Dynamo's first game of the UEFA Champions League 2009–10 season. In October 2009, he was named the best player of the Ukrainian Premier League. On 4 November 2009, he scored a goal in the game against Internazionale, cross-city rivals of his former club Milan, in the fourth game of the UEFA Champions League 2009–10 season. It was the 15th goal he had scored against Inter in his career. On 25 August 2010, he scored a penalty against Ajax in the second game against two teams in qualifications level for 2010–11 UEFA Champions League.

International career

Shevchenko scores a penalty kick in 2006 FIFA World Cup match against Tunisia.

Shevchenko has 104 caps and 46 goals for the Ukrainian national team, whom he represented at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He scored his first international goal in May 1996, in a friendly against Turkey.

In March 2000, Dynamo manager Valeri Lobanovsky became the Ukraine coach, with the aim to qualify for the 2002 FIFA World Cup finals. Shevchenko scored ten goals in the qualifiers, but Ukraine failed to qualify after losing a play-off against Germany. He scored a total of five goals in Ukraine's Euro 2008 qualifying round.

After only playing two games for Milan in the 2008–09 season, there was a lot of speculation of Shevchenko being past his best[citation needed] but he silenced his critics after scoring an equaliser in an 2010 World Cup qualifying match against England at the Wembley Stadium, however Ukraine went on to lose the game 2–1 after his former Chelsea teammate John Terry had scored from a free kick delivered by David Beckham.

In a 21 December 2009 interview with UEFA Shevchenko declared that he was keen to play in his home country at Euro 2012. "After a disappointing 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign that is my new challenge, or even dream. I will do everything to achieve that."[20]

Personal life

Shevchenko is married to American model Kristen Pazik. The couple met at a Giorgio Armani afterparty in 2002, and married on 14 July 2004 in a private ceremony on a golf course in Washington, DC.[21][22] They communicate with each other in Italian,[23] though Shevchenko had previously made public his desire to learn English.[24] After his return to Dynamo Kyiv in August 2009 the couple declared that they want their children to learn Ukrainian.[25]

The couple have two sons: Jordan,[23] born on 29 October 2004, and Christian, born on 10 November 2006. Shevchenko commemorated Jordan's birth by scoring against Sampdoria the following day (Milan won 1–0).[26] Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi is the Godfather of Shevchenko's first son, Jordan.[27] The day after Christian's birth, Shevchenko scored in a 4–0 Chelsea victory over Watford, and he and several of his teammates gathered and performed the popular "rock-the-baby" goal celebration as a tribute.[28]

Shevchenko is a close friend of fashion designer Giorgio Armani, and has modelled for Armani and opened two boutiques with him in Kiev.[21] In June 2005, he became an ambassador for the SOS Children's Villages charity.[29]

Name

Shevchenko's first name (Андрій in Ukrainian) does not have a single way of being transliterated from its original spelling in the Ukrainian Cyrillic alphabet into the Latin alphabet. Andriy is the spelling used throughout the player's official web site.[30] It has also been adopted by UEFA and FIFA and is the preferred spelling in most English publications (although Andrii is used by World Soccer magazine and Andrei by Sky Sports). The Ukrainian pronunciation is [anˈdrij]. A.C. Milan and later Chelsea F.C. fans gave him the nickname Sheva,[31] a contraction of Shevchenko. Coincidentally, 'Sheva' literally means Seven in Hebrew, the number worn by Shevchenko during his first spell at A.C. Milan, Chelsea and current spell at Dynamo Kyiv.
