Oleh Wolodymyrowytsch Blokhin (* 5. November 1952 in Kiev , Ukrainian SSR , Soviet Union , Ukrainian Олег Володимирович Блохін , scientific. Transliteration Oleh Volodymyrovyč Blokhin , nicknamed Blocha (flea); under his Russian name form Олег Владимирович Блохин / Oleg Vladimirovich Blokhin known) is a Ukrainian soccer coach and former soccer player .

Player career

In the club

Blochin grew up in a sporty family. His father was the Ukrainian association coach of the youth football team, his mother Jekaterina Adamenko national champion in the 100-meter run . Allegedly, she is said to have encouraged her son to do more with little squeamish actions. If Blochin's performance did not meet the high expectations, the boy was not put on the table.

The young Oleg learned to play football at the age of ten at Dynamo Kiev . But the club's athletics department was also interested in the talent that sprinting had inherited from his mother - she achieved her Ukrainian championship title in 11.9 seconds. In his heyday, Blochin ran the 100 meters in 11.0 seconds; his personal best was 10.8 seconds . In 1971 Blochin appeared in a UEFA youth tournament in Czechoslovakia as a dangerous striker. After taking office in 1973, the new coach Valery Lobanovsky formed Dynamo Kiev into one of the best club teams in the world. The team won the Soviet championship in 1974 , the first of a total of seven national titles for Blochin (until 1986). "Blokha" ("Flea"), as the lightning-fast left winger was called, played a considerable part in these successes, as in winning the national cup (1974, 1978, 1985) as a multiple top scorer. His team's game was geared towards their star. In 1973, 1974 and 1975 he was elected Soviet Footballer of the Year , between 1972 and 1981 he was also named Ukrainian Footballer of the Year nine times .

In 1975 Dynamo Kiev achieved its first success at European level, the team won the European Cup Winners' Cup . In the 3-0 final against Ferencváros Budapest Blochin contributed the goal to the final score. In the same year Dynamo Kiev also won the UEFA Super Cup against Bayern Munich . As a personal honor, Blochin was also voted Europe's Footballer of the Year in 1975 . He was considered one of the best strikers of the 1970s and received numerous offers from western countries (including from Hamburger SV ), but the Soviet association did not let its biggest star go. In 1986 Kiev won the European Cup Winners' Cup again. As in 1975, Blochin scored a goal in the final when the favored team of Atlético Madrid were defeated 3-0.

In 1988 Blochin made his last game for Dynamo Kiev, for which he had scored 211 goals in 433 league games. This achievement was a record for the Soviet league. In 1988 the then second division Vorwärts Steyr achieved a sensational coup when the Upper Austrians were able to sign the 36-year-old USSR legionnaire.

After his engagement at Vorwärts Steyr, he played another season with the Cypriot club Aris Limassol .

In the national team

Blochin played in the U-23 team of the USSR, which lost 2: 2 and 1: 3 to their peers from the Czech Republic in the finals of the 1972 European Championship ; he scored one hit each. Less than three weeks later he made his debut in the Soviet national team on July 16, 1972 at 1-1 in Finland . Blochin would have liked to play at the 1974 World Cup in Germany , but it didn't happen for political reasons. After the coup in Chile , the USSR refused to play the qualifier in Santiago de Chile . The reason for this decision: the stadium in the Chilean capital served as an internment site for political prisoners.

The Soviets were unable to qualify for the 1978 World Cup in Argentina and the 1980 European Championship . The Sbornaja was not back until 1982 in Spain . The team around 29-year-old Blochin was one of the strongest teams in the tournament and only missed the semi-finals because of the poorer goal difference.

After injuries and bad form, Blochin returned to the national squad for the qualifying games for the 1986 World Cup in Mexico . In the finals, however, it was only used twice, it had passed its zenith. On September 21, 1988 (0-1 defeat in Düsseldorf against the DFB team ) he ended his career in the national team after 16 years. For the Sbornaja, he played, taking into account the FIFA rules on international matches , 101 games in which he scored 35 goals.

Coaching career

In 1990 he ended his active career and since then has worked as a coach for various Greek clubs. Since the beginning of the qualifying round for the 2006 World Cup in Germany , Blochin has coached the Ukraine national soccer team with great success , which qualified for the World Cup finals as group 2 leaders and after victories over Saudi Arabia (4: 0), Tunisia (1: 0 ) and Switzerland (3: 0 n.E.) made it to the quarter-finals, where they were eliminated against eventual world champions Italy . On December 6, 2007 Blochin announced his resignation from the office of national coach. On December 14, 2007 he took up a new coaching position at the Russian first division club FK Moscow . On November 27, 2008 it was announced that he would not renew his contract, which expired a few days later. He had finished the season with the club in ninth place. In April 2011 he was again coach of the Ukrainian national soccer team.

On September 25, 2012 Blochin took over the professional team from Dynamo Kiev . He signed a four-year contract.

On April 17, 2014, Blochin was fired from Dynamo Kiev for persistent failure.
