[Link] Maryan Shved

Thats a goer mate!! Truly inspired

 

From Ukraine to Spain, and back, Maryan Shved has already had a rollercoaster career at the age of 21. Born in Western Ukraine, the Shved family have represented the historic Galician side hailing from Lviv. Following in his father’s footsteps, Maryan donned the green and white shirt of Karpaty Lviv, joining at the age of seven.

Maryan Shved was born to play
Born in 1997, Maryan Shved carries the name that once represented Karpaty Lviv between 2000 and 2003. Vasyl Shved, Maryan’s father, played for the team reigning from Galicia for three years, while also featuring for Karpaty-2 and Karpaty-3 during his career in Lviv. Playing in Western Ukraine throughout his career, Vasyl continued a love affair that would develop further under his son.

With the football genes running through the family, it didn’t take long for Maryan to take over from his father. Joining Karpaty at the age of seven, Maryan went through the youth system at the club, making his first-team debut against FC Metalurh Donetsk in 2015 at the age of seventeen. Playing the full ninety minutes, Maryan got the taste of football at its highest level, just like his father in the early 2000s.



Featuring for the Lions on ten occasions during the 2014/15 season, Shved scored on two occasions, both coming against Olimpik Donetsk. Adding to his tally, the Ukrainian winger helped his side to a two-goal victory against Chornomorets Odesa, setting up Volodymyr Kostevych.

Ten appearances, two goals, one assist and over seven hundred minutes of football, Maryan Shved was bound on a journey that would take the Ukrainian to Spain.

Ukraine to Spain
After a positive first-team debut season, Maryan Shved caught the attention of teams across Europe, especially those in Spain. Seeing Shved’s talent on display and the talent he possessed, both Valencia and Sevilla vied for the signature of the winger. Inspired by Yevhen Konoplyanka’s move to the Andalusian club in the summer of 2015, Shved signed a five-year contract with Sevilla.

Revealing that he received an offer from Valencia, one which his representatives advised to wait in the hope of an offer from Sevilla, Maryan decided it would be best to join his compatriot in Seville. Understanding the importance of integration, especially when coming from Ukraine, Shved realises the “concern about changing country” and his aspirations in being able to “adapt quickly to life in Spain”. Considering some of the issues faced by Konoplyanka and Yarmolenko at their respective clubs since leaving Ukraine, Shved was correct in realising the importance of acclimatising to his new home.

Describing Sevilla as a “great club”, Maryan was on course for a new journey into the unknown. Signing a five-year contract, Shved was sent to the reserve team, Sevilla Atlético. Under the guidance of Diego Martinez, there was hope that the Ukrainian would fulfil the potential many saw in Maryan Shved, and ultimately becoming Ukraine’s star.




The faith and expectation behind Shved weren’t misplaced, his former coach at Karpaty Lviv, Igor Jovicevic, describes the winger as having “a lot of potential.” Going into detail, the Croatian recognised Shved’s ability at an early stage, “he was already the best player of the day and the big clubs here were already interested”. Furthermore, Jovicevic, who took the leap to Real Madrid during his playing career at the age of 17, recognises the difficulties of adjusting to life in the country, “the mentality and lifestyle are very different in Spain”.

Of utmost importance for Shved had the ability to become accustomed to his new surroundings, which is arguably as important as what takes place on the football pitch. Those who went before him and have gone through the cruel cycle of football, understand the feeling of not fulfilling their potential. The weight of pressure and expectation put on players at such a young age is overwhelming. Jovicevic, who went through the cycle himself, argues that “it’s important that they do not put a lot of pressure on him”, as it could ultimately impair Shved’s career at Sevilla.

Maryan’s first season in Spain wasn’t straightforward or easy. Struggling to adapt to life since leaving Ukraine, the winger showed glimpses what he was capable of, despite the difficulties he was facing. Two months into his career at the Andalusian club, Shved received his debut for Sevilla Atlético against Marbella FC, coming off the bench for JoséAmo. It would be his only domestic appearance for Sevilla that season. Featuring in the UEFA Youth League in his first season, Shved started a total of six games for Sevilla, scoring one goal against Juventus and two assists coming against Borussia Mönchengladbach.

The challenges facing Shved were at a detriment to his footballing career at Sevilla. Struggling to adapt to Spanish football and language, it was taking its toll on his performances and ability to shine at his new club. As a result, the winger had limited opportunities at Sevilla Atlético. Describing his struggles, Shved says that “at the beginning, it was very hard, even at the time of playing football, it seemed like I did not know how to do anything”. Highlighting the language barrier, the Ukrainian was often left confused in situations such as when to arrive for training, often being told multiple times on when to attend.

A season full of challenges and difficulties, Shved would ultimately see his career in Seville come to an before it got started. Suffering a cruciate ligament rupture, the talented winger’s season was over, and so was his time at Sevilla.

Maryan Shved returns
Too big, too soon? Time will tell with regards to Shved’s career at Sevilla. However, it was becoming clear that the Ukrainian needed to return to a familiar and comfortable environment in which the winger could regain his confidence, especially after suffering such an injury at the end of his career in Spain


Statistics provided WyScout clearly show Shved’s progression and development since his return to Ukraine. During the 17/18 season, the Ukrainian, in all competitions, averaged during a period of 90 minutes a total of 0.43 goals, 0.19 assists, 3.08 shots on target, 0.41 xG, 8.01 (61.5%) successful dribbles, and 16.52 (67.9%) accurate passes. In comparison, Shved’s 18/19 season saw improvement, especially with regards to his goal scoring ability. After 18 games played in the Ukrainian Premier League, he averaged during a period of 90 minutes a total of 0.53 goals, 0.11 assists, 2.47 shots on target, 0.31 xG, 7.31 (55.4%) successful dribbles, and 17.98 (78.6%) accurate passes.

Surpassing his 17/18 season in terms of appearances, goals, and assists, Maryan also developed his international career. Making his debut for the senior side against Turkey on 20 November 2018, replacing Viktor Tsyhankov, it was a new chapter in an already storied and challenging career.

Moving on
With transfer rumours swelling, Maryan Shved has increasingly been linked with a move to Celtic, with some reporting that the Ukrainian is set to sign with the club. Looking to be his most likely destination, the winger could develop and flourish at a club that has provided the perfect home for many. From Virgil van Dijk to Henrik Larsson, Celtic has been the home to some of the world’s better players, be that past or present.

The Scottish club is a step in the right direction for Shved. However, the winger will be hoping it won’t be a repeat of the difficulties he faced during his career at Sevilla. From the green and white of Karpaty Lviv, to the green and white of Celtic, Maryan Shved is on course to take his career to the next level.

Celtic are close to sealing their £1.75million swoop for Ukrainian winger Maryan Shved.

The 21-year-old is set to become the fourth arrival of the January window at Parkhead as the deal nears its completion.

Karpaty Lviv boss Fabriciano Gonzalez revealed at the weekend that the details of the move are done and dusted as far as his club is concerned.

Now Parkhead chiefs are close to finishing the formalities to snap up the promising winger.

Shved, who has one senior cap, has scored 14 goals in 35 games for Karpaty since moving from Sevilla in 2017.

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has stated the attacker is set to be loaned out for the remainder of the campaign.

 

Boy looks ad if he has some left peg. Him on corners and big bayo to restore our optimism when we get set pieces.

 

We must be waiting until Wednesday night to announce this, under the lights like Bayo.
Hopefully along side a new RB too.

 

if we found out he was a Virgin his nickname could be Virgin Mary

 

Didn't Brendan say we'll assess him?

Seems to he some contradictions somewhere..

Looks good enough to get a game here now..

 

Having his medical according to sky sports

"Ukrainian winger Maryan Shved is having his medical today ahead of a move from Karpaty Lviv to Celtic.
Brendan Rodgers says the player will “be assessed” upon completion of the move before deciding the next move for the young midfielder."

Aye he did, I reckon he’ll be staying and Hayes & Morgan out on loan.

 

Assess when tho mate? One session..

 

Everything ive seen and read would indicate that this kid is ready to play now.

Theres no point getting the kid in to * him him out on loan again, that may well work with scottish players or even with scandanavian ones but not here imo.

This is the very reason his move to seville didnt work out.

We should be getting him in, giving him time to settle, learn the language, the environment and the drills, and start feeding him slowly into the squad, then the bench and if that works out the first 11.

Rodgers comments about turfing him out on loan seem to be borne from either misinformation, no information, or maybe frustration.

Either way, given this kids negative history with moves and indeed his ability, it would be very very surprising if we loaned out a 21 year old full international poty.

 

Only team that signs someone then assesses them.

 

Brendan Rodgers has revealed that Maryan Shved is to undergo a medical with Celtic ahead of signing with the Scottish champions.

The Ukrainian winger has caught the eye at Karpaty Lviv and Celtic have been working to finalise the deal.

"I think there's a medical that's going on today," the Celtic manager said.

So hopefully over the next few days that can be organised. And then he'll come back to here and we'll have a look and talk through what his development plan would be and then go from there."

Rodgers had previously indicated that Shved was being signed for his potential and that he had "about a million wingers" in his squad at the moment.

"It's something that's come to the club through circumstance, he said last week.

He's been watched and looked at but I can't say I know a great deal about him.

"But what I have seen he's a talent and something that will probably benefit the club in the future.

"We've got about a million wingers and don't need another one.

But he's a talent and in the summer we'll probably lose wingers and he'll look to come in."
