Central defender of the Ukrainian national team Oleksandr Svatok shared in an interview with FIFA’s press service who his favorite football hero was in childhood.
Oleksandr Svatok (photo: gettyimages.com)— Shevchenko, yes, of course, that’s classic. I watched football as a child when Shevchenko played for “Milan” and won the “Ballon d’Or”. The national team had many talented players. Serhiy Rebrov played in very strong clubs... We didn’t take example from just one player, there were several athletes of the highest level who competed abroad. For example, Andriy Voronin’s play for “Liverpool” truly inspired. They motivated us in childhood, especially since I was a big fan of our national team and watched all its matches,” Oleksandr said.
