在科隆經歷了戲劇般的時刻後，舍甫琴柯説到：“我當時很確信我們的門將
能撲出點球--他是這方面的專家。在我的職業生涯中，我踢過很多個點球，一些破
門得分，一些沒能打進，但今晚的這個球踢得很糟糕。”
“我在意大利生活了七年，我對那裏的人們心懷感激，但此刻，我必須要面對他們
，這是烏克蘭歷史上最重要的一場比賽。”
“對我們而言，最重要的就是以充足的信心和勇氣來彌補技術上的不足。意大利有
著優秀的球員，他們當中很多是我以前的隊友，現在我不得不與他們對決。”
“今晚過後，我們必須重新調動我們的士氣，我們要以勝利的信念來鑄就一個堅強
的團隊，戰勝意大利。”

原文：Spirit took us through, says Shevchenko
Ukraine captain Andriy Shevchenko said a "great team spirit" had taken
the Eastern Europeans to the quarter-finals of the FIFA World Cup?.
Speaking after Monday night's penalty shoot-out victory over Switzerland
in the Round of 16, Shevchenko said: "We have a good squad with great
team spirit. We played with a lot of heart and that made up for anything
else we were missing. (Coach Oleg) Blokhin was so emotional in the
dressing room afterwards he was virtually speechless."
After a goalless draw, Shevchenko missed the first penalty in the shoot-
out but saw team-mate Olekandr Shovkovskyi save two Swiss spot-kicks as
Ukraine ran out 3-0 winners. Their reward is a quarter-final date with
Italy - a team 'Sheva' knows only too well from his time at AC Milan - in
Hamburg on Friday.
Reflecting on the dramatic climax in Cologne, the Chelsea striker said:
"I was sure our goalkeeper was going to save the penalties - he’s a bit
of a specialist. I’ve taken lots of penalties in my career, I’ve scored
a few and also missed a few, but tonight I hit the ball badly.
"I’m going to be very busy over the next few days with all the questions
I’m going to get from friends and journalists in Italy," he continued.
"I’ve spent seven wonderful years there and I owe the country a lot, but
now I have to play against them in the most important football match in
the history of Ukraine."
Ukraine's fortunes have improved dramatically since their 4-0 defeat by
Spain in their opening game and Shevchenko added: "It’s a good job the
match with Spain was our opening one. Unfortunately we were hesitant that
afternoon because it was our debut. We then began to believe in ourselves
and slowly but surely things have improved.
"Italy are favourites but the important thing for us is to play with
enough heart to make up for any technical shortcomings. The Italy squad
is packed with talented players, many of whom are my former team-mates
who I’ll now have to play against.
"We must recover our strength after tonight’s exertions, and then make
sure we go onto the pitch (against Italy) as a solid unit with the will
to win. We’re playing for a place in the last four at the World Cup!"
