Blokhin on the bench and Shevchenko on the pitch has proved a winning combination, as the two have forged a new mentality within the squad by communicating their thirst for success and international experience.
In the 22-man squad for the game with Greece, for example, the only foreign-based players were a trio plying their trade in Russia, another from Germany (Andriy Voronin at Bayer Leverkusen) and, of course, Shevchenko of AC Milan.
Ukraine's achievement is all the more impressive for the fact that Blokhin was forced to resign on 16 March, before being swiftly reinstated by a tribunal.

While he spent the latter years of his career outside the Soviet Union, playing for Austria's SV Vorwärts Steyr and Greece's Aris Thessaloniki FC, Blokhin's name will always be synonymous with FC Dynamo Kyiv, where he won eight Soviet titles as well as the UEFA Cup Winners' Cups of 1974/75 and 1985/86.
A fearsome striker, much was expected of Blokhin after his retirement, having been a protégé of legendary Dynamo and Ukraine coach Valeriy Lobanovskiy.
