Career

Shevchuk comes from the youth of FC Podillja Khmelnyzkyj , where he made his debut on March 14, 1997 in the Perscha Liha . From the beginning he was there on regular assignments. He played his last game for Podillja in November 1997, after which he moved to the Premjer-Liha for Metalurh Zaporizhia . After he had won a regular place there in April 2000, he moved to Shakhtar Donetsk , where he was only a substitute. In his first season he won the cup with Schachtar and came to ten missions in the Premjer-Liha, 2001/02 there were only two. He only played regularly in the second team in the Perscha Liha. He then moved to Metalurh Donetsk , where he was also mainly used in the second team.

In the summer of 2002, Shevchuk moved to Russia to Shinnik Yaroslavl , where he made the breakthrough. During his time at Schinnik he also became a national player.

Shevchuk returned to Ukraine in December 2004. He first moved to Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk , where he came to regular assignments from March 2005. After only half a year, he left the club and switched back to Shakhtar Donetsk, where he signed a five-year contract, according to the club. The transfer fee should have been almost 600,000 euros.

In Shakhtar he was only a replacement for Răzvan Raț for a long time , but was still used regularly. In the first season after Shevchuk's return, Donetsk won the national championship title. Four more championships, three cup wins and winning the 2008/09 UEFA Cup followed. When he improved his offensive game in 2011, he managed to displace Raț from the regular lineup.

National team

In his youth, Shevchuk was the captain of the Ukrainian U-21 national team.

In the senior national team he made his debut on April 30, 2003 when he came on in a friendly against Denmark with one minute remaining. However, he was not a regular national player. He initially only played three more internationals until 2005. In 2007 he was surprisingly nominated again for an international match. In this he was not used, but in the following years he was nominated again and again. In 2008 and 2009 he played a total of twelve international matches. Further missions followed in 2011 and 2012. He was also in the squad of Ukraine at the 2012 European Championship , but did not play a game.

On November 17, 2015, Shevchuk played his 50th international match against Slovenia. It was also the decisive relegation match for the successful qualification for the European Football Championship 2016 in France. He was again in Ukraine's EM squad and wore the captain's armband for the first time in the last two preparation games as deputy to Anatolij Tymoschtschuk . In France he led the team against Germany and Northern Ireland on the field. After two defeats, the team was re-formed against Poland and Shevchuk dropped out of the regular eleven. Then the Ukraine were eliminated as the bottom of the group.
