THAT AC Milan Team & Playing With 'Ricky' Kaká | Andriy Shevchenko | EP 43

[@AW1806]

Please keep getting guests like Shevchenko on the pod! Not only a hugely talented footballer, but also seems like a lovely man

[@lewisroberts3392]

Not a hugely talented footballer? Are u alright mate

[@asminde]

@@lewisroberts3392not “ONLY”. Come on mate read carefully

[@Ohdearyme-x3d]

What a bizarre thing to say 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@cheatingREFSandVAR]

He was overrated

[@Rafflewafflez]

@@lewisroberts3392 to be fair I did read it like that as well lol but I read it again haha

[@vovaw]

Sheva , was and is TOP player, big page in history if football (soccer)

[@rishavbanwari]

That era of top footballers are so humble

[@callmedo]

My favorite player EVER! Shevchenko!

[@katkat3156]

This is what sets Linekar apart from other hosts. He asks the right questions and listens, let’s the guest speak and doesn’t necessarily interject. He lets the conversation flow and is simply a brilliant host.🎉

[@stuartcarmichael1305]

My favourite player in the early 2000’s

[@GIBBO4182]

Shevchenko was amazing when he was at Milan. Wonderful footballer

[@Al-ji4gd]

and Dynamo Kyiv. UCL top scorer before even going to Milan.

[@simonforrest2522]

Yeah I remember that Nou Camp treble and his partnership with Sergei Rebrov (who moved to Spurs) ... Those 2 were quite telepathic together

[@cheatingREFSandVAR]

No he wasnt lol

[@UAkovalchuk]

@@cheatingREFSandVARwhat u talking about

[@thebagelsproductions]

He was a great player, the move to Chelsea was a mistake looking back. Mourinho didn't want him, he was in a great position in Milan but apparently his wife was keen on the move to London. Sometimes when you're the talisman in a city like Milan the life outside of football is like living in a fishbowl compared to London being much bigger and only being one of many high profile players playing for London teams, so players are thinking about their family lives. However, you can't know ahead of time when a move isn't going to work out.

[@samfisher2306]

This man was a dangerous striker in the early to mid 2000s. Incredible finisher!

[@mujtabaezaz]

So so happy to see him admiring the greatness of KAKA as a player and how elegant he was as a player. His injuries at Real Madrid put him in the shadow being one of the greatest. Today's kids need to know more about KAKA.

[@ayomideowoeye2658]

I fell in love with football because of him

[@Adam-oy4ix]

Class player and seems like a class guy too

[@Rezamvs]

Thanks a lot for inviting Sheva he made me many many good memories,,, forza milan 😘

[@omaryareofficial1408]

WHAT A LEGEND SHEVCHENKO

[@wasabijones4571]

Love the fact that Gary Lineker does not have double standards on the two wars going on. Shows compassion for both oppressed sides

[@drewdowns7128]

As American who watched the 03 champions league (pretended to be sick) solidified my love for milan as a kid. It was SO hard to watch those games where i lived. I still have the vhs. I loved this!

[@streamtec88]

I remember watching 03’ final Milan-Juventus. What a game! I stayed late in the night and probably skipped the next day of school

[@Hoshedaripl]

Brilliant podcast. Shevchenko: top-drawer striker.

[@alphaneek2571]

fair to say he was the best striker in the world during his peak

[@romanroman486]

Sheva has been my idol since I was 13 years old. Growing up in Ukraine in that difficult time, you always made me proud to be Ukrainian and showed that hard work pays off. When russia started the war against Ukraine you showed your position immediately and told the entire world the truth about the invasion.

[@Propaganda79]

I liked it when Sheva complimented Gary when talking about winning the Ballon d'Or. Kids these days have no idea how prolific a goalscorer he really was.

[@dionmccaffrey1518]

My favourite ever football player made me fall in love with AC MILAN ,thanks lads great work.

[@alexkarpukhin]

I'm so pleased to hear all the praising words Shevchenko has to say about Kaka!

[@LeeDerry-n6g]

He is one of the best,we need more people like him 👍

[@jonathanburn4388]

First of all my thoughts and prayers are with the people of Ukraine and the family of Andriy! He was a special goalscorer in Italy and a appears an even better human being.

[@ДмитрийЛоза-и4н]

❤️❤️❤️

[@brawmedia]

Wow how English is really good could never imagine a interview with Sheva . What great memory's being a Milan fan . Just hurt he left for Chelsea like kaka did for real Madrid but amazing career and one of my favourite strikers ever . Give him the ball anywhere and he was a predator

[@Ekception]

Awesome guest indeed. That Milan team was legendary.

[@Tettehfarlaa]

Listening stories about chernorbyl from the man who live through himself..his football was a radioactive hazard...to winning a ballon D’or...what a journey! As always, brilliant pod gary!

[@Ohdearyme-x3d]

Fantastic 😍 The interview touched on 1% of his sporting life from Ukraine to Italy and England. As a young Milan fan, it was a joy to see his arrival after the transition from the Weah era. It would have been wild if Robrov came too as they were an amazing pair in the Ukraine. He was too humble and should acknowledge his impact in Milan and accept the defeat by the worst (average) LFC team in history as history was corrected 2 years later. A few years earlier, at old Trafford, we saw how Dida came off the line a lot in the penalty shootout against Juve for Milan to win, as much as I celebrated that win, in my heart I felt bad for Juve. I felt Karma kicked in when LFC won a few years later. You can’t always have history in your favour, you need something to fight for…something to heal you, and they did it with a Pirlo free kick against Inzaghi’s back. Shevchenko is pure love as a human and am beyond happy with the joy he provided for years.

[@pjduff7577]

As a Liverpool fan I agree in a way ,they were an average team individually,but it shows that with a good team ethic and structure and a tactically aware manager anything is possible against superior teams

[@xpurple_haze2478]

I love this guy to bits, one of my favourite

[@sranarambasic212]

Listening to him speak, you cannot connect him with the person he was on the football field! Absolutely amazing interview! What a great and humble guy Andriy is!

[@rwb_gary6355]

Nailed it! ✌🏽

[@Wladislav]

These interviews have been an absolute highlight of the podcast so far. Amazing stuff.

[@ferriveiro3101]

What a player, what a man. ❤️

[@robkinder]

Fantastic - not a surprise you can leverage this kind of guest but a really nice change of pace and some levity. So much of football is dumbed down or mindless but not shying away from serious issues outside of football etc. is a boon for your podcast - particularly when balanced by the great chemistry, anecdotes and laughs. I wouldn't usually bother with a football podcast tbh but this has been a lovely find.

[@StevoMusicManUK]

Wow, such an enthralling episode. I came out of it having such a lot of respect for Andriy.

[@adamtench4447]

Fantastic listen. A wonderful guest and man

[@azraelite1]

Loved the interview with an icon of the game. Subscribed for more content like this.

[@shazyfizleful]

It says a lot about him as a person the way he spoke about Istanbul which was such disappointment for him and rather than focusing on the negative or failures he wanted to give credit where credit was due...what a player and what a man, only wished that during his time at Chelsea that he would have been 100% Great interview

[@smithswoodrookie]

Ahhh my favourite footballer of all time! What a nice surprise! Love Sheva!

[@demlot9695]

Can't believe his English is so clear and good

This was a great interview and not one I expected to be honest. I would love either a Del Piero or Pirlo episode. 2 of my favourite players. On the back of this one again, what about a Maldini episode. 🙏

I think there's an arrogance to Henry which is difficult to warm too but why he was a genius with a football. Shevchenko is the polar opposite

Slava Ukraine

[@mhb657]

Sheva was a great footballer- no doubt the best in post soviet era, maybe even best in the history of Ukrainian football as well as the best in that region. He was n is very close to earth humble person. I am Dynamo Kyiv fan since 82 n watched so many matches of my favourite DK, the then Soviet team consisting mainly of DK players n later Ukrainian national team. Linekar was a great player too and an amazing football commentator. I love this interview. However, didn't like one thing in Sheva's talks. He repeatedly used the term Russia while talking about Soviet era, which he shouldn't have done in my humble opinion. That country was Soviet Union and Ukraine was one of major contributers in the economy, culture, sports of that artificially created failure state, but never had real equal rights, always have been discriminated, humiliated, exploited as a nation by chauvinist political leaders of Russia. The annexation of Crimea in 2014, aggression in Donbas region with fake allegations, barbarian all out war initiated by putin in February 2022 are simply continuation of that chauvinist, colonial politics of Russia which started during the period of Russian tsars in fact.

[@jamie9063]

i can see why. many people are trying to educate the west about that era, that the soviet union was basically russian occupation. i think many people in the english speaking world don't realise that, as the state presented itself as a federation of nations.
