Ukraine fans were indebted to their former European Players of the Year for a comeback win over Sweden in their Euro 2012 Group D opener in Kiev as Andrei Shevchenko rolled back the years and proved coach Oleg Blokhin made the right call in keeping faith with him,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Shevchenko (pictured) had missed half of the season through assorted injuries and looked sluggish in the early stages.
But Blokhin had had a dream everything would come together and so it proved.
Suddenly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], injury-hit months melted away and Shevchenko leapt like a man a decade younger than his 35 years to head two superb goals to cancel out Zlatan Ibrahimovic's opener for the fancied Swedes.
"I feel great - it was an historic game for us, it's a victory," said a grinning Shevchenko, who made his international debut in 1995.
"I feel like 20 years, not 35!
"If I can choose my dreams I want to dream of a day like this, it's a fantastic day.
"I want to thank everyone who worked with me the last year-and-a-half - I had so many knee and back problems. Now I am fit thanks to them,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]."
