EURO 2012: UKRAINE profile

This is the second time Oleg Blokhin handle the national team of Ukraine. Previously he had brought his country to qualify for the first time and competed in the 2006 World Cup. They also look pretty good, advanced to the quarter-finals before finally halted the Italian champion. His achievements at club level is far from impressive, but the experience in 2006 of course only a few who oppose the re-appointment. As a player, Blokhin including athletic striker with a brilliant career. He is a major figure of Dynamo Kiev team who impressed in the era of the 1970s and the 1980s. Unfortunately, even though 112 caps for the Soviet Union for 16 years, he never appeared in the European Cup twice while competing in World Cups (1982 and 1986). Later.

During the handles face the Euro 2012 Ukraine, captain Andriy Shevchenko alternately charged and Anatoliy Tymoshchuk. Blokhin likes to experiment with using a 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1. If it can ensure its position as a major player, Shevchenko will most likely be the team captain. Former AC Milan player who is now back in the Dynamo Kiev is it needs no introduction. He has been selected as the European Footballer of the year 2004 and could bring the Dynamo advanced to the Champions League semi-final in 1999 before moving to Milan and had seven years of a glorious and very productive. His influence on the team is not as strong as it used to be, but he remains a hugely important figure. If you score four goals again, he will fulfill a record 50 goals for his country.

Ukraine has been named as the best footballer of all time last year, Anatoliy Tymoschuk probably not the type of player who quickly revered football fan, but he's a player that puts the effectiveness of the game.

Tymoschuk can also play as a central defender, as he did with Bayern. The tireless game, though it was 33 years old, making it the largest asset manager Blokhin when appearing in public alone as the tournament progresses.

He may not have much to give effect to the Ukrainian team, but the 22-year-old attacker is able to offer a lot of things and gives an additional dimension. Including mastery of the ball up, he was able to dribble past defenders with speed and accuracy. Blokhin memplotnya often on the left side, thus making it able to maximize the ability driblingnya and increase acceleration as well as opportunities to make the team in goals. Konoplyanka deficiency is in terms of consistency. Sometimes he is unsettled in solving opportunities, but at the young age of its ability to still be growing. But he showed a skill and an amazing self-confidence, it does at least look at making goals against Germany in a friendly at the gym this month. He ran from midfield and passed several players, including goalkeeper and managed to make a goal, is an indication of the great talent he had.
