From relatively unknown quantity, to one of the most eye pleasing football in display - Ukraine and Shevchenko have come a long way. Their main asset is their ability to be versatile. Very comfortable in either of these formations :

Even facing superior Opposition we haven't seen Ukraine sit back and be pragmatic. Always proud and loud on the field!

Very calm and collected on the ball, Ukraine have very rarely hoofed and cleared the ball from their own box. Always calm and technical in any situation and getting away sometimes in style!

Even in the close knit spaces, Ukraine have minimum 4 passing options playing the ball out of the back. Always brave and bold, as foretold!

Not a low block, but a well structured zonal man mark. From the former image, even in this tight area, Netherlands don't have much passing options. Have to play back/square. Only high risk passes availability.

Part of which Austria used brilliantly to find gaps. Always pumped the ball by switching play or taking the high risk option. The pitch at Budapest was even wider, so that hindered Ukraine and halted them that night as they were dominated and couldn't close down the spaces.

The high press has been a feature of them and again maintaining man for man, they have caused immense discomfort against teams trying to play multiple passes out of the back.

Ukraine have been experts in utilising space. Even the goal is a good example. As a simple change of direction and a lay off caught the dutch ball watching. Splendid goal from Yarmolenko!

Midfield and attacking dynamos Zinchenko and Yarmenchuk have been the greatest strengths of Shevchenko in this robust Ukraine side. Both these names pressing, progressing, and passing forward with close to perfect accuracy.

Andriy Yarmolenko has been the creator in chief, always causing a menace from the right flank. Always available as an outlet for his team, hugging the touchline and coming in on his stronger left, he's a menace.

With always looking to attack, defend as a unit, play some slick and neat one touch football with the limited talent he has available, Andriy Shevchenko's stock has plummeted to a top level indeed.
Known to use the best of the system, he has shown himself to be tactically adept and might just have a huge say in the managerial merry-go-round in club football as the domestic season looms large.
All in all, a tough test awaits against England, who are yet to concede in this tournament, but with the display Ukraine has treated us, they might just be the πΏππ§π ππ€π§π¨ππ¨ of this tournament!
