Evgeniy Levchenko: Ukrainian Dutch

Began his football biography Evgeny Levchenko in native Konstantinovka that in the Donbas. There and tried to break into the big football, trying to squeeze right in Donetsk "Shakhtar". Unfortunately, the young man did not appreciate in Donetsk, allowed him to play only for the second team. Then the same Eugene tried to do in Moscow, CSKA Moscow. And this attempt ended in the same way.

The Lion in Orange country

But there was a third way - Netherlands. Unlike the giants of Russia and Ukraine, thanks to the information in boy scouts believed the Dutch "Vitesse". True, there have been careful loaned in "Helmond Sport" and then "SC Cambuur." In the latter Eugene was the player of the basic structure, "forced" the public to give yourself a short nickname Leo. Just Levchenko completely for the Dutch language - a great deal.

As a result, after the end of the lease "Vitesse" happy to leave it at home. However, to play a lot still did not give. Therefore, at the end of the contract Levchenko lightly moved to Rotterdam "Sparta", where it turned out that he also knows how to score goals. Levchenko climax performance achieved in this club - "Groningen", shipped his opponents 17 goals, becoming thus also the top scorer of the club.

The shadow of "Saturn"

Levchenko feats seen in Russia and Ukraine. At home periodically called into the national team, but from the Russian invitation came from the "Saturn" from Ramenskoye. It was taken. However, for the "aliens" Eugene played only 7 games, as was revealed ugly history associated with its transition.

Levchenko passed in the Moscow Region club, having the status of a free agent, that is, "Saturn" for him "Groningen" did not pay. But it turned out that by some agency of the company registered in the Seychelles, received US $ 400 000. The basis for the translation became "services for mediation in negotiations with Yevgeny Levchenko and signing a contract with him." For Levchenko it became absolute novelty, because in the talks attended by persons directly involved in the management of the Russian Premier League and the First Division. This trick did not expect Leo, he considered himself deceived and thought it necessary to leave the "Saturn".

TV commentator?

Footballer Evgeniy Levchenko during the long years of career in the Netherlands has become almost his in this country. Yes, and now he lives in two countries: the one with the capital - Kyiv, and one with the - Amsterdam.

After the "Saturn", he easily found work in the "Willem II". However, the years were no longer the same, and his last season Evgeny Levchenko combined with his passion - traveling. I invited him to his bronze medalist of the A-League (Australian Football League) "Adelaide United". So Leo traveled to Australia as well as parts of Asia, due to the fact that his team participated in the Champions League Asia.

After the Asian-Australian season Evgeny Levchenko retired from football. However, I can not believe that such loving attention to media figures quietly go away into the shadows. Most likely, we will see him on the football field. Children's coach? Manager? Journalist? Newscaster? Time, as always, will tell, but, most likely, in the role of the latter.

Some experience in television he has already received. Even as a member of the show and the interviewee in the "My Game" on the Ukrainian channel "Football 1" (here itself Eugene says almost everything, and only in Russian).
