society

Dynamo Kiev

Shevchenko comes from the football school of the Ukrainian club Dynamo Kiev , where he played until 1999. In Kiev he was trained by legendary coach Lobanovsky . Shevchenko graduated from the Kyiv Sports University . In 1995, Shevchenko was offered to 1. FC Köln for a small transfer fee and the transfer seemed to have been sealed before the manager at the time, Carl-Heinz Rühl , turned it down and ultimately no contract was concluded.

AC Milan

In 1999, Shevchenko moved to AC Milan . In the 2004/05 season, AC Milan turned down an offer of 90 million euros from Chelsea for Shevchenko.

In the 2005/06 season he scored his 165th goal for AC Milan on matchday 24 of Serie A, moving past legend Gianni Rivera to second place in the club's all-time goalscorer list. During his seven years at Milan, Shevchenko was promoted to deputy to captain Paolo Maldini and was the avowed favorite player of Milan owner and President Silvio Berlusconi .

On November 23, 2005, Shevchenko scored four goals in the Champions League game against Fenerbahçe Istanbul . So far, only five other players in the history of the Champions League have achieved this. In the all-time list of scorers in the UEFA Champions League , he is currently eighth with 56 goals from 108 games. Previously, Shevchenko was twice top scorer in the Italian Serie A.

Chelsea FC

After the 2006 World Cup , Shevchenko moved to Chelsea for 46 million euros . He couldn't gain a foothold there for a long time and lagged behind his form. In his first Premier League season, Shevchenko only scored four goals in 30 games. He did a little better in the UEFA Champions League , scoring three goals in ten games.

In the 2008/09 season Shevchenko was loaned to AC Milan by Chelsea for a year.

Return to Dynamo Kiev

After failing to gain a foothold at Chelsea, the last eleven months of his contract were terminated. In August 2009, Shevchenko moved back to Dynamo Kiev. He signed a two-year contract.

National team

As a national player (2009)

Shevchenko made his debut in the Ukrainian national team on March 25, 1995 against Croatia. In 2006 he reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup , the greatest success so far in the relatively short history of the Ukrainian national team. Previously, Shevchenko had been seen by many as one of the best players (alongside George Best ) who had never played in a World Cup. On October 11, 2008, he was Ukraine's record national player with his 85th international match. On October 8, 2010, he played his 100th international match against Canada. He has now been replaced by Anatoly Tymoschtschuk as a record national player. Shevchenko was in the Ukrainian squad for the European Championship 2012 and was used in all three preliminary round matches.

On June 11, 2012, he led the Ukrainian team onto the field as the captain of the Ukraine's first European Championship final match and scored the first two European Championship goals for Ukraine in the 55th and 62nd minutes, making the game 2-1 won against Sweden . It remained the only goals of Ukraine in the tournament and due to the two defeats against France and England , in which he was only used as a substitute due to an injury, the Ukraine was eliminated as third. Shevchenko then announced his departure from the national team. Shevchenko made a total of 111 international matches in which he scored 48 goals, two of which were in the European and World Cup finals. He is the current record scorer in Ukraine .

End of career

On July 28, 2012, Shevchenko ended his football career and went into politics. In the Ukrainian parliamentary elections in 2012 he ran for the party Ukraine - Forward! . However , the party clearly missed entry into the Verkhovna Rada .

Coaching career

In February 2016, Shevchenko became assistant coach of the Ukrainian national soccer team, alongside head coach Mychailo Fomenko , whose post he took over after Fomenko's resignation following the elimination after the preliminary round of UEFA EURO 2016 .

Honors

In the Ukraine he received several medals and in 2003 the award "Honored Master of Sports". The striker won the title of European Footballer of the Year in 2004 . Already in the 1998/1999 season he had been voted the best striker in the Champions League by UEFA .

Private

Andrij Shevchenko married the American model Kristen Pazik in July 2004 and has two sons with her. His father Nikolaj was stationed for many years as a soldier in the Soviet Army in Wünsdorf , where Shevchenko spent some years of his youth. His sister Elena was born in Wünsdorf.
