The legendary Ukrainian footballer Andriy Shevchenko admitted that he admired David Beckham's professionalism.

The lucky ones who had the opportunity to work with him on a daily basis spoke instead of his almost obsessive diligence, his constant desire to raise the bar. Sweat and effort, running and exercises to improve the quality of an already extremely sophisticated technique.
Beckham was truly an example. I appreciated the way he behaved and how he saw the role of a footballer. We had a few dinners and a lot of fun moments," Shevchenko is quoted as saying in his own book Pianeta Milan.
