Реферат: Andriy Shevchenko

In August 2004, Andriy scored three goals against Lazio in the Italian Super Cup and earned Milan the title. In the same season of 2004-05, the club finished second in league standings, helped by the seventeen goals of Shevchenko. They also reached the final of the Champions League, with him scoring six goals in ten matches. But the successes of the season were greatly dampened in the final. The game against Liverpool ended 3-3 after extra-time, and went into penalties. Shevchenko missed his spot-kick, giving the English side the title.
In October 2005, Ukraine finally managed to qualify for the finals of a World Cup when they topped their qualification group for the 2006 World Cup, winning seven games out of twelve, and losing only one. Shevchenko was instrumental in this inspired performance by the team, scoring six goals out of the total eighteen by Ukraine.
During the summer of 2004 there were reports that Roman Abramovich, the owner of Chelsea, offered a record sum of ?50 million and striker Hern?n Crespo to A.C. Milan in exchange for Andriy. Milan refused but took Crespo on loan. After that, the determined Abramovich was rumoured to offer another record sum of ?85 million to AC Milan and another record weekly wage of ?225,000 to transfer him to Chelsea, but was again refused.
In the 2005-06 season, Shevchenko has scored nine goals in the thirteen games that he has played in the league till now, and six goals in six Champions League matches. On November 23, 2005, in the Champions League group stage match against Fenerbah?e, Shevchenko scored four times, becoming only the fifth man after Marco van Basten, Simone Inzaghi, Dado Pr?o and Ruud van Nistelrooy to do so in one match in the competition. Shevchenko also led the Ukrainian national team to its first qualification for the World Cup, to take place in June 2006.
