"I think the current choice is quite normal, given the authority of Shevchenko and the fact that he can pick a quality team, and under his name, under his word, guarantees can come serious, intelligent managers who will benefit Ukrainian football.

You need a properly selected team, as well as a clear understanding of the tasks set, what you want to start from - from children's football, reform of different championships, the creation of independent television and so on. If Shevchenko manages to gather new people around him, who, in addition, will be professionals in their work, then it will be possible to listen to his programme and understand what it will bring, to abstract from the failed political experience and other failures.

When he and the national team achieved certain results, everybody admired him and nobody remembered where and how he stumbled. On the contrary, one could only hear: "Well, finally, we have a coach". And the players themselves believed that you can not only, as they say, in the trenches to sit in the trenches, but also to play football themselves, enjoying it. He brought about a certain mental revolution in the team. And it does not matter, either by himself or with his Italian assistants - it was a team.

Criticism of Zozulya? And where is he going to manage from - Spain? There is such a time when everyone thinks that they have the right to advise, to recommend, or they themselves can lead. Well, in order to lead, you need to become a respected person in some sphere. Shevchenko will have enough critics, envious people. And he will need to show his character, to be above it all. And all this talk on the side - it's too petty," FootBoom quoted Sopko as saying.
