By Simon Austin BBC Sport

Andriy Shevchenko has already created one of football's most compelling tales. He's the boy from a tiny Soviet village blighted by the Chernobyl disaster who became Europe's best footballer .Now he wants to create a fitting final chapter. "It would be something impossible, unbelievable, to win Euro 2012," the captain of co-hosts Ukraine tells BBC Sport. "But it's a dream - something you have to think about, something you have to try for."



Comment : I think he is dreaming about it and it gives him so much motivation , Shevchenko is no longer assured of a place in coach Oleg Blockhin's starting line-up though, and his Dynamo Kiev team-mate Andriy Yarmolenko is now the focal point of Ukraine's attack.
