“A nation of sincere, hard-working and freedom-loving citizens! This is our most important asset! Today is a difficult time for all of us. But we must unite! In unity we will win! Glory to Ukraine!” he added.

Now the current coach posted a message through his Twitter account: “Ukraine is my homeland. We have gone through many difficult times together and in the last 30 years we have formed ourselves as a nation. A nation of sincere citizens, workers and lovers of freedom. It is our most important resource,” he said.
The entire world is on high alert as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine escalates. The countries of Eastern Europe are on the verge of an outbreak of war and there is fear in part of the Ukrainian population about the possible invasion of their neighboring country.
Shevchenko is the second player in the history of Ukrainian football to have won the Ballon d’Or. This was achieved in 2004, after winning the Champions League the previous year with AC Milan.
The former soccer player was in charge of the Ukrainian National Team in the last European Championship, leading the team to play the quarterfinals for the first time.
It should be noted that the tensions between Ukraine and Russia could lead to other consequences for world football, since the Champions League could be forced to change the venue of the final, which is scheduled to take place in the Russian city of Saint Petersburg.
