Shevchenko, Ronaldo, Batistuta, Baggio, Ibrahimovic, in the same league. The best era of Italian league.

Shevchenko is like that kid in your neighborhood, who just does it better than anyone else - cheeky, faster, better dribbling, better long shots.

I grew up with that Milan... Maldini, Cafu, Nesta, Serginho, Seedorf, Pirlo, Gattuso, Rui Costa, Inzaghi and Shevchenko, among others... I was born in 1985, so I was a teenager in the early 2000s. As an AC Milan fan, a passion that my dad gave to me when I was a child, I can't say how I feel when I see the name of Shevchenko. He just was my hero as a teenager. I was so confident that he could solve all problems, just like some kind of Superhero. So it's really moving for me to watch those videos. I have feelings and shivers on my body when I hear or read this name: SHEVCHENKO!

Shevchenko belongs to a generation in which there were so many outstanding strikers (all born between 1975-79): Ronaldo, Raul, Van Nistelrooy, Makaay, Henry, Trezeguet, Crespo, Shevchenko, Vieri, Inzaghi, Owen, Drogba, Forlán. All of them have been top goalscorers in their leagues.

Wow! Shevchenko was the most complete forward, he could do it all. This dude was amazing. I think the one quality that is overlooked is that he wouldn't go down with minimal contact like most of the players now a days.

His connection with Kaka = best connection ever.

sevchenko is a really skilful striker. shot accuracy, shot power, pace, dribbling, agility, potioning, heading all magnificent he is a skilful complete striker.

Definition of Complete striker! Scored from any angle , and with any means ( left foot, right foot, header, free kick, etc ). Always clutch in important games ( seriously if you check AC milan games from 2000-2006 against top teams in serie A or champions league, he is in the scoring sheet each time ). Top striker in Europe against top defenders... this guy was facing the best defenders in Italy and all over Europe. Would be easily a 30 goals or more striker in today’s football

Sheva was unique. He didn't have the technique of Ronaldo, but is willpower was second to none. Many of his goal came from sheer willl to score, against fouls and oppnents. He won the top scorer title in his first season in Serie A, playing as a left/right winger. He was amazing

Sheva was a goal scoring machine, he really was something special.

Сколько эмоций подарил Шева! За сборную Украины куча голов, за Динамо, за Милан , за Челси. Просто супер форвард. Золотой мяч 100% дан был Богом. Нога и Голова Бога.

He was a war machine! He was good in everything: dribbling, head, right and left foot, long-range shot! I think he was one of the most complete striker I've seen in my life. Beside this, he was fast and powerful. He seemed unstopable. I miss him.

На игру Шевы можно смотреть бесконечно! Футбольный гений!!!

he is a monster in his prime. to still get goals past several Italian defensive monsters back in those day puts this guy in a different league.

He wasn't like typical striker Who waits around box to receive the ball & beat one on one goalie.... He could dribble past the entire defense & still score long shot goals even with his weak foot.... Sheva! What a prolific striker he was.. ❤

The legendary coach of Dynamo Kiev Valeri Lobanovsky brought Sheva into greatness and made D. Kiev in the 80's and 90's one of the best clubs in Europe. Kiev should have beaten BM in the semis of CL and go on to face Man U in the final that year. BM was really lucky to snatch 3:3 tie in Kiev, but lost a dramatic final to Man U that year....

From 1999 til 2006, as FORWARD was second just to O Fenomeno (Ronaldo). He was devastating because he was a complete player, able to play with the team , high technical skills, clever, and he knew how to score. Beside all these qualities he had one thing more than the others: the mentality. He was decisive in important games, not just against small teams. After Messi, O Fenomeno, Cr7 and Samuel Etoo, for me he has been the best centre forward over the last 20 years.

this guy was a total beast i remeber how he took his country to quaterfinal . such a great striker

A.CMilan fan, oh my God Shevchenko he make me cry in many match of my team, he is a beast!!

One of the best 3 strikers ever he could dribble past half a team, skill, head the ball, calmly finish it, and he had exceptional pace, and volleys, he had everything

Andriy Shevchenko is probably one of the top 5 Greatest Strikers of all time.

Caesar: I come, I see, I conquer Shevchenko: I run, I kick, I score

I'm an interista, and there are three rivals I always admired and wanted to see in our Squadra: Totti, Pirlo and Shevchenko. He was such a pain in my ass, got mad because at him a bunch of times, but I just can't hate that guy

Just a small reminder. He won the ballon dor at the era of prime Ronaldo, prime zidane,prime rivaldo, prime baggio, prime del piero and prime figo

one of my all-time favorite strikers EVER. I have liked him ever since I've watched him play for Dynamo Kiev and putting 3 goals into Barca's net. and when I've heard that AC Milan (my favorite team at that time) have transferred him... well, you get the idea :) .... Cristian Chivu (one of Romania's best defenders that's captained Ajax in his early years, and later on moved on to AS Roma and Inter Milan where he's been in the starting 11 due to his defending skills has said that Andriy Shevchenko has been the most difficult striker that he's had to defend against, and we're talking about an era where Chivu had to defend against the likes of Ronaldo - the real Ronaldo I mean - Del Piero, Inzaghi, Raul, and the alikes. Yet, Sheva has been the toughest striker to mark because of his amazing understanding of the game, as well as his great positioning. You would never know where Shevcencko was going to be the next second, and he's always understood the game 1 second earlier than everyone else, which is what has given him the edge over other strikers, which, subsequently, is why Chivu has always had difficulties marking him... Good old times when AC Milan was existing in football, and players like Kaka, Shevchenko, Inzaghi, Pirlo, Maldini and Seedorf were each entitled to their own Ballon d'Or... Good old times... and I miss them so much)

Champions league 2003...thank You Sheva-gol💣💥

12:30 this team action is pure football !!

His both legs are amazing. Powerful and very accurate.

The guy i feared the most during the Milan derby. Sheva and Seedorf...

He is the reason why i love football,

The year he won the balon d'or he was simply UNSTOPPABLE

Superb in shooting power and accuracy, excellent in body balance and heading, good in positioning and dribbling

The 2004-2005 Milan team was one of the most feared teams at the time. I remember being around 12 years old and watch Champions League and maan that's when I fell in love with football. After 2013 it all became about Ronaldo-Messi. And now Football is not interesting at all to me. Miss the golden age when all players were top class and the Champions League clashes were legendary. I feel sorry for the kids these days. They will never feel the football magic.

Strong, double footed player, also very good in the air, that’s made him win the balon d’or

a beast speed power accuracy intelligence determination he was born with a talent he is a natural but he worked his ass off

as juventus fan, the player I suffered the most....and at the sime time I liked more as "enemy". What a great duel Juventus Milan those years at the top of the world

This guy was so awesome I can't avoid looking at him Best strikers during that era

Shevchenko was devastating in his prime and with Kaka in the ranks Milan was really entertaining 👌

Being an Interisti, watching this man running with the ball when playing against Milan was a nightmare lol. One of the most complete and one of the best striker that I've ever seen.

Favorite of all time after Baggio. Sheva was an absolute beast in his prime.

I remember seeing Schevchenko for the first time in CL final 2003 when he scored a penalty. He's been ingrained in my mind ever since as an icon.

Что мне нравится в Шевченко больше всего, чего в других мало, то как он руки держит во время бега с мячом. Это очень элегантно!😃

Here a funny story about him. When he first came to his first training camp in Italy. It is Summer and very hot. After a 2 hours workout, You see all the boys going to the lockeroom and have shower, massage or whatever, they were all restless. He goes to a team mate and said: is that all'? He goes back and worked for another 2 hours on his own even with more intensity . Compared to lobanosky's sessions (his former coach) these serie a training were too soft

pure power. what a terrifying striker.

Incredible he was a Striker with winger qualities (u could easily put him as a winger)..But that s Sheva once he picks s the ball from a left or a right side and has a bit of space you could not catch him even with a Buggati Cop Car. He was a nightmare for defenders with his one-touch strike or control then strike (very powerful with both feet s) dribble s plus he could score headers (very big jumping qualities very athletic), Set pieces Freekicks Penalties Corners(amazing touch and precise passes as well). Fantastic one of the best

ABSOLUTE BEAST..!!! and one of the most complete and elegante striker in football history..

Sheva - Legend !!! 🇺🇦⚽️👍🏻

What a legendary striker !!!

Valeri Lobanovsky made 3 Ballon d'Or players: Blokhin, Belanov and Shevchenko. Proud of Ukrainian nation. Now it's time for Sheva as a coach to make some new top-players for Ukraine.

Just think about his ratio in Milan when you know the times when he played (so strong defenders in Italy at that time) : 296 matches, 173 goals

It hurts me that people judge him only at his time at Chelsea. What a striker

He is a Machine, the reason why am i love football. In his era almost all FC's of top championships had a single or multiple stars of world level. I dont think it will happen again.

One of my favourite all time forward he was beast in his prime helped Milan to achieve many silverware .for me he is legend.

i would rate shevchenko as the most deadliest in the box...heading postioning and shots on goal...he doesnt not waste many goal attempts...he would be my no.1 finisher

Andriy Shevchenko🇺🇦🔴⚫️, one of my favorite players of the time. He had an incredible dribbling and scenting ability 💪

The AC Milan team was outta this world at that time

Best striker i have ever seen. God bless you, from indonesian.

Crazy speed, great dribbling, kick with both feet, a phenomenal head play, amazing field vision. The next player, similar to Shevchenko in terms of universality, was only Messi. I believe that Shevchenko was underestimated, having received only once the Golden Ball. A talented person is talented in everything. Now, under his leadership, the Ukrainian team performs at a very high level. Good luck to him. He was a phenomenal striker.

Sheva was very well rounded as an advanced forward. He didn't really have any weaknesses and was on a very high technical and mental level but his best attribute was his raw pace. There were many players as skillful as him but that bit of explosiveness really made him stand out from the pack.

One of the best striker of all time

Top 5 CF in the football history.

A monster he is reason why Henry didn't won the balan d' or absolute monster.

Sou muito grato por ter visto uma geração mágica de jogadores,e o Sheva foi um dos maiores que vi,o cara era sensacional.

Assassin of Milan. Glory days ! Thanks for uploading highly appreciated

It's a shame that we get to remember one of the greats in a pixelated and blurry form.

Post-2000, the striker position was about Henry & Sheva. Ronaldo had a peak moment with the WC in 2002 and Raul was good too, but these 2 were in their prime.

1:18 this is an incredible goal for Buffon just behind his back when he saw everything. With a complex trajectory and far enough from the gate.

Growing up, him and Henry were my two favourite strikers.

Shevchenko and Rebrov! Respect!

Wining eleven best chacter, PS1 goods memories

Two words. Clinical genius

The entire Milan starting 11 of 2005 has no haters. They were all so good in their respective positions that they were probably beyond world class.

The best striker of all times by far

His prime was in the era where the strong defenders played.. yet, none of those defenders can stop him...

Sheva was a beast!!! Love from Serbia :)

omfg what an unstoppable striker.. wtf.. the power and the aim.. always near the bar

I will never forget when Baca stole the Champions League from Milan.. when Puyol wrongly claimed he had been fouled as Shevchenko scored the winning goal.

Sheva and Van Basten two of the best strikers of all times played and won everything with AcMilan , with Real Madrid the best team in the world

If Shevchenko is on Fifa today, his finishing would be 99

Best two footed striker of all time, you'd struggle to know his strong foot was his right until he takes a set peice.

Thanks to the author for the great video. Andriy always wanted to score a goal, not pass the ball. There are currently no such forwards. I still do not understand how he managed to score, in absolutely non-goal moments )) Blokhin, Belanov, Shevchenko. Lobanovsky genius !!!!

I think AS Roma should induct Sheva in their Hall of Fame just for the hundreds of goals he scored against Lazio...jeez he must have hated those guys lol.

My first reaction: OMG 😰😮 Who's this guy !! This guy is sick

The best i have seen in years

if only scheva played in milan until he retired. up until 2010 milan was still a champions league team only imagined if kaka and scheva never left milan and played along with zlatan

He is now growing his legend as Ukraine national team coach in the Euro 2020

Top 3 strikers for me: Ronaldo9 Van Basten Shevchenko

I love the technique of Eastern European football players. Sheeeevvvaaa

One of my top 5 fav players ever.

True warriors who make me love this sport almost 30 years ago and not neymar and company

shevvvvvvvvchenkooooo!!!! quanto cazzo ti ho amato

Long Hair Shevchenko of AC Milian was a scary beast.

imagine him in today's football,pure assasin

I like him more than Cr7 and Messi😁

KING OF WINNING ELEVEN PSX

I always remembered sheva and rebrov growing up

His style reminds me Ronaldo Fenomeno... what a player!

He is the one European player that would play like a Brazilian.

The football field never can be same without the best players in serie A at 90's. Batistuta, Totti, Del Piero, Baggio, Signori, Rui Costa, Crespo, Chiesa, Abel balbo, Sheva, N.Berti, Vieri, Pippo, Juan Veron, Nesta, Maldini, Bergomi, Pagliuca, Bucci, Nedved, Peruzzi, Fcouto, Conceicau, Tudor, Zola, Cafu, Aldair, Tommasi, Cannavaro, Boban, Oddo, Zambrotta, Pirlo, Seddorf, Davids, Mihajlovic, Sorin, D.Baggio, Edmundo, Toldo, Stankovic, Thuram, Sensini, Salas, Zamorano, Bierhoff, Zanetti etc. to more players in serie A make my child's time so happy watching football. Thanks
