Volodya Bystrov. Ex-player of “Zenith” and “Spartak” Bystrov was hit in the face on the street

One of the most titled St. Petersburg football players, Vladimir Bystrov, will continue his career in the Harvest team from Krasnodar. This club played for many years under the name "Kuban", was the main one in the Krasnodar Territory, repeatedly played in the Russian Premier League, but due to financial problems, it changed its name, legal status and will play in the 2018/19 season in the "South" zone in Professional Football League (PFL), the lowest professional division of the Russian championship.

Former player of the Russian national team, Honored Master of Sports, 34-year-old Vladimir Bystrov will move to Harvest as a free agent. Recently, he played for the Tosno club, which ceased to exist after the 2017/18 season.

Vladimir Bystrov was born in Luga (Leningrad region) on January 31, 1984, he started playing in the same city, continued his football education at the famous St. Petersburg school "Change". He made his debut at Zenit in 2002 and in the same year became a participant in the Russian Cup final. He won silver medals in the 2003 championship with blue-white-blue, won the Premier League Cup in the same year, was invited to the national team in 2004 and played at the European Championship in Portugal.

In the summer of 2005, Bystrov moved to Spartak Moscow, where he played for 4 years, becoming a four-time silver medalist of the Russian championship (2005, 2006, 2007, 2009). In August 2009, Vladimir returned to Zenit and helped the team win bronze medals, and then win the national championships (2010, 2011/12), the Russian Cup (2010) and the Russian Super Cup (2011). In January 2014, Bystrov moved on loan to Anji Makhachkala, then played for Krasnodar and Tosno.

Also moved to Harvest, according to Krasnodar media, another St. Petersburg football player is the same age as Vladimir Bystrov, his teammate on the youth team of Smena, coach Vasily Kostrovsky, ex-midfielder of Zenit Oleg Vlasov, silver medalist of the 2003 championship, who also played for "Saturn", "Terek", Moscow "Torpedo", "Mordovia", Tula "Arsenal" and St. Petersburg "Dynamo".

Bystrov and Vlasov will play for Harvest under the guidance of coach Vladimir Gazzaev, the son of the famous Valery Gazzaev, the former coach of the Russian national team, CSKA and other teams.

PETRZHELY'S NEST chick

A native of the city of Luga, Leningrad Region, Vladimir Bystrov returned home. Well, almost home. This season he will play for the Tosno football club, which officially has a residence permit in the 47th region (which does not prevent him from playing at the Petrovsky stadium in St. Petersburg).

Bystrov made his debut at Zenit in the almost mythical pre-Gazprom era, when big money was never heard of in St. Petersburg, Vitaly Mutko was the president of the club, and Yuri Morozov was the coach. And he began to play constantly under Vlastimil Petrzhel. Together with Kerzhakov, Denisov and Arshavin, they formed the basis of that very tube Zenith, which many still remember with warmth. Great things awaited them in the future. For example, medals of the championship of Russia. True, in 2005 Bystrov left the club with a scandal. He spent the next four seasons at Spartak, the main rival of the blue-white-blues. He played provocatively, repeatedly scoring the former team (for which he earned the dislike of Zenit fans). And once he quarreled with the then Spartak player Artem Dzyuba, accusing the tall striker of stealing money.

MOSCOW BOAR

In 2009, an unexpected return took place. After that, Bystrov began to hate the fans of both clubs. Zenit ultras even staged real protests against the player (“Moscow boar, go to Spartak!” they shouted to him from a turn). But Vladimir had a good season, and the heat of passion subsided.

After the arrival of Hulk and company to Zenit, the player's playing time was sharply reduced. And the years have taken their toll. Explosive speed began to disappear, and there were not so many other strengths of the "Fast" one. As a result - a loan, a contract with Krasnodar, in which he was also not considered a base player, and here is a completely predictable demotion. That is, Tosno, of course, is a team from the Premier League, but unlike even Krasnodar, it solves modest tasks. Maintaining a residence permit in the elite is the top of the possibilities for the club.

34th NON-FAST

Tosno's next match is against CSKA. However, Bystrov will not play with the army team - he has not yet managed to get in shape. The contract is concluded for one year, so he has time to bring himself into suitable condition.

The club quickly found a common language with Vladimir, and there were no difficulties in signing the contract, - said Tosno press secretary Vladimir Basmanov. - While he is training on an individual program. When he can appear on the field, the coaching staff will decide. Perhaps this will happen in the game of the next round. But for Bystrov, playing for a team from the Leningrad region is very important, because he himself is from this region. Therefore, we have no doubt that he will help us to solve high tasks.

By the way, Vladimir will play for the regional club under the 34th number - the very one under which he once played at Zenit. For which he even earned the nickname "34th ambulance" (by analogy with the popular Soviet film). However, now Tosno fans should think about a new nickname for their player. Speed ​​has ceased to be Bystrov's forte.

SAID

Sergei Gerasimets, ex-football player of Zenit, football expert:

I can only wish Vladimir good luck. "Tosno" at the start of the season appeared to be a competitive team. The team looks decent in matches with strong opponents. Therefore, a place in the main team of Bystrov is not guaranteed. But he will definitely be given a chance to prove himself. And here everything already depends on him. Get it - will play. If it doesn't work, he will sit on the bench. As for Tosno's prospects, given the level of our championship, the club is unlikely to be at the top. But in the last place, they also will not get bogged down. They will fight for the play-offs, giving the right to remain in the Premier League. And how successful this fight will be depends, among other things, on Bystrov.

Moments of Vladimir Bystrov's game.

AND AT THIS TIME

Zenit continues to get rid of Lucescu's legacy. Following Tsallagov, Robert Mack and decommissioned to the second team Mollo, the Brazilian midfielder Ernani leaves the club. The French club "Saint-Etienne" (in which, by the way, the fan of Spartak scarves ex-striker "Zenith" Alexander Panov spent part of his career) rented a 23-year-old player for the 2017/18 season.

In the future, the French will be able to buy Hernani for 12 million euros. This means that the player can bring profit to the club, because he moved to St. Petersburg from Atlético Paranaense for 8 million. For six months in Russia, he played 11 matches, and if he remembers anything, it's only a passion for badlons dressed as a football uniform.

This football player managed to quarrel with both Zenit fans and Spartak fans. And then he went into open conflict with the head coach - Luciano Spalletti. As a result, 30-year-old midfielder Vladimir BYSTROV was forced to leave St. Petersburg for Krasnodar.

- Volodya, when did you decide: is it time to leave Zenit? And why exactly "Krasnodar"?
- I wanted to leave Zenit a year ago. I saw that I was not playing, and I lost a little interest in football. You work and understand that they still won’t deliver. Agree, it's one thing to train in a good mood. Another thing is when everything around infuriates you ... And Krasnodar is a good, strong club, it plays in the Europa League. Now everything has changed for me. Football has become a favorite pastime again.
- What was Spalletti dissatisfied with that you were not put in the "Zenith"?
- The St. Petersburg club is run by such people... Perhaps they are good managers, but they are not the greatest specialists in football.
- You said that the Italian was ruining the team. What exactly?
- For example, infusions into the press of information that Denisov, Kerzhakov, Malafeev are not worthy to be the captains of Zenit. When he came to the base after that, he was asked: “Why do you say that?” He replied: “I didn’t say that! I wasn't transferred that way." When there are some scandals, it is beneficial to hide why there is no result.

- Is it true that a week before signing the contract with Krasnodar you almost moved to Spartak?
- Provocative question. But purely theoretically, I could imagine myself again in Spartak.
- Well, how would you go around Moscow in this situation?
“Maybe that’s why it didn’t work out. Neither Zenit nor Spartak fans would have understood me. For the first time, I left Zenit from the conflict, and everything was on the drum for me. Then there was an opportunity to return "home" - to friends, to relatives. Now it would be a completely different challenge ...
- Indeed, when you returned to Zenit in 2009, did you spend the first six months with a security guard?
- Just a couple of weeks. The club hired him. I went to the store alone. I haven't heard anything particularly nasty. As it was when he moved to Spartak. Once I heard in the back, standing in line at the store: “Don’t forget to buy meat, pig!”

Saved from drugs by the army

You almost died as a child, didn't you?
- Fell into the swamp. For three seconds he was in darkness. I didn’t know how to swim, but there was a bridge, a stick went down from it, and I got out along it.
- Your younger brother had serious drug problems. It sounded like he was a goner.
- So, in general, it was. No matter what we did, it didn't help. And then he joined the army, where he ended up in the Pskov Airborne Forces. Here is the service that helped him. Now he lives in St. Petersburg, is engaged in martial arts.
- In Russian football, you are the main fan of fishing. What's your record catch?
- In Switzerland, at Euro 2008, they indulged and caught a 12-kilogram fish. But it was private business. And so it is in Finland. By the way, the Finns do not set up five-kilometer nets, and if they catch a small fish, they do not leave it for themselves. Released back into the water.

- Did you fish with an electric rod?
- It was with nets. And with an electric fishing rod - never. If the locals see a fisherman with an electric fishing rod, they will drown him along with the battery. Naturally killed. They live on this fish, and then a smart one with an electric fishing rod arrives and leaves them without a catch in the morning. Is this the case?
- Did you have star disease?
- Like everyone else. Could be rude to someone, but on business. Somehow after the game I came to the base, my bag with money was gone. There were only our own at the base, I made a fuss. The director of the base suddenly said: Yes, Bystrov forgot this bag at home, and now he is slandering! I could not stand it, I sent him clearly where.
- The most stupidly spent money in your life?
- About 10 years ago I bought an apartment in a house that was never built. In St. Petersburg, in the Ozerki area. Well, at least at some point they offered to take the money. But with inflation, I lost a lot. Business didn't work out either. They opened a restaurant, but it didn't work.
- Are you still betting?
- It's in the past. matured. I have two children - Dasha will soon be 10, ??? - five. I try to devote all my free time to my family. I recently bought some interesting board games like Crocodile to somehow pull the girls away from the TV. Cartoons in our house are non-stop!

By the way
Bystrov and his wife Alena got married in St. Petersburg in December 2006 - after the birth of their first daughter. But the family idyll did not work out. They say that Volodya was not averse to taking a walk on the side. At some point, Alena, along with her daughter, moved to live in an apartment with Maria Kerzhakova, with whom the Zenit football player Alexander Kerzhakov then divorced. Later, the Bystrovs seem to have reconciled - for the sake of the children, but conflicts in their family are not uncommon.

On January 31, 1984, Vladimir Sergeevich Bystrov was born in the city of Luga, which is located in the Leningrad Region. Vladimir's father was Sergei Nikolaevich, who worked as a driver, and his mother, Svetlana Anatolyevna, at that time was an employee of an abrasive plant. Living conditions were difficult, as Vladimir recalls in his book.

At school number 6, where Vladimir studied, he played not only football, but also other sports, including tennis, volleyball, basketball and hockey. The mother wanted the future famous athlete to learn to play the piano at a music school, but Vladimir's father, who himself was a football player in the past, firmly decided that Bystrov's future should be connected with football.

At the age of 8, the life of the then young Vova almost ended. The boy fell headlong into the swamp, at that time Vladimir did not know how to swim yet, so fate and the will to survive helped to avoid death.

At the age of 13, when Vladimir came to the "Change" school for a viewing, they did not want to take him with outstretched arms. Here the main role was played by Bystrov's father, who agreed with Vasily Alexandrovich Kastrovsky, who eventually became the first coach and mentor of the future football player. Father himself took Vladimir to training. To help his son, Sergei Nikolaevich even had to rent an apartment in St. Petersburg, since the train journey took about 6 hours, which not only exhausted, but also killed a lot of valuable time (Vladimir also studied at school at the same time).

Gradually, climbing the stairs higher and higher, Bystrov in 1999 won his trophy as part of the "Change", becoming the champion of Russia among youths. Two years later, Vladimir moved to the St. Petersburg “Zenith”. A year later, on May 8, Bystrov first entered the field as part of the St. Petersburg team against the Torpedo-ZIL club. The score of that meeting was 2:1, and Vladimir replaced Konoplev in the 70th minute, having received flattering reviews in the press in 20 minutes, which he spent on the field. In the next match, which took place on May 12, Bystrov was already in the starting lineup, but he played unsuccessfully and was replaced.

In February 2004, Bystrov received his first invitation to the Russian national team. Vladimir's debut came at a meeting against the Bulgarian national team. Bystrov became the youngest player in the Russian national team at EURO 2004. He had to play only 20 minutes in the match against Portugal, when the Russian came on as a substitute.

The turning point was the year 2005, which will never be forgotten by fans of "Zenith" and fans of the Moscow "Spartak". For 4 million euros on July 1, Vladimir Bystrov moved from Zenit to Spartak, signing a 4-year contract with the Red-Whites. The reason for this transition, as Bystrov himself later noted, was the bad attitude towards him at that time the head coach of Zenit, Vlastimil Petrzhela. The second reason that Vladimir named was the love for Spartak Moscow, which also received the right to represent Russia in the Champions League.

On June 9, 2005, Bystrov made his debut for Spartak Moscow, replacing Maxim Kalinichenko in the 65th minute in a meeting against Lokomotiv. Alexander Starkov (at that time the head coach of Spartak Moscow) was pleased with the game of Vladimir Bystrov, although the team lost with a score of 1:2. Bystrov scored his first goal for Spartak on August 27, 2005 against Alania. Gradually, Vladimir became a player in the main team of the Red-Whites, displacing his main competitor, Denis Boyarintsev, from the field.

Bystrov returned to Zenit in August 2009, which caused great discontent among the fans, who still treated Vladimir as a traitor. At the same time, Vladimir became one of the best in the St. Petersburg team. Later, the Zenit player had to publicly apologize to the fans for various, according to him, rash statements in the press regarding the St. Petersburg club and kissing the Spartak rhombus. Many fans of the St. Petersburg team were able to forgive the football player, but there are still people who insult Vladimir at matches, thereby showing their failure more than their love for Zenit.

Vladimir Bystrov (football player) - midfielder of the FC Krasnodar club, ex-player of the Russian national football team. In 2008, he received the title of honored after winning the bronze medals of the Russian team at the championship in Austria - Switzerland. The winner of the Russian football championship in the St. Petersburg "Zenith" in the seasons 2009/2010 and 2011/2012.

Bystrov's childhood and youth

Vladimir Sergeevich Bystrov was born on January 31, 1984 in the city of Luga (Leningrad Region). Vladimir grew up in an ordinary family - his father Sergei Nikolaevich Bystrov was an ordinary driver, and his mother Svetlana Anatolyevna Bystrova was a worker at a grinding plant. The family lived in poverty, so the parents periodically went to work in the capital, and Vladimir, along with his brother, lived with his grandparents (four more relatives also lived in the apartment). The cramped and harsh living conditions could not discourage the boy from sports. Vova managed to study at school, as well as to study at the same time various types sports (football, basketball, tennis, hockey and volleyball). Sports talents were immediately noticed by physical education teacher Vladimir Martsinkevich, who said that Bystrov was the fastest guy he had ever dealt with. Here the young hero takes part in school city and regional football competitions. He is also often invited to play for adult teams.

“Mother always said that she wanted to send me to a music academy. She loved the piano and wanted to introduce me to it. But my father took the initiative into his own hands and promised that he would make a football player out of me, ”recalls Vladimir Bystrov in an interview.

At the age of eight, the future professional football player almost fell head over heels there. Vladimir recalls this with a smile on his face and says that he was incredibly lucky then, because he was on the verge of death. He says the following: “I clung to some branches or sticks with the last of my strength and was able to escape.”

The beginning of a sports career

At the age of thirteen, Vladimir Bystrov passed the review of the academy of the club "Change". Initially, they did not want to take the young football player into the ranks of the club, but the persistent father Sergey Nikolayevich managed to convince the leadership of the sports school, promising that he would personally bring his son to training. As a result, young Bystrov became a student of "Change".

Training took place three times a week. To get to the sports base, Vladimir Bystrov and his father had to spend 6 hours in the train. Father Sergei was also a footballer earlier, he played for Spartak Luga (which no longer exists), so he wanted his son to follow in his footsteps. A few months later, the father rents a home in St. Petersburg so that his son does not get tired of constant and long journeys. As a result, all this bore fruit - the guy began to compete on equal terms with the players of the Smena football club. He was the fastest player in the team - he played the role of a flank midfielder, and sometimes switched to a striker. In 1999, Vladimir Bystrov, together with his team, became the champions of Russia in youth football.

Football career in St. Petersburg "Zenith"

Since 2001, Vladimir Bystrov has been playing for Zenit. The debut match for the football player took place on May 8, 2002 against the Torpedo-ZIL team. Bystrov also came out in the starting lineup of Zenit in the 2001/2002 Russian Cup final, but was replaced in the first half, having made many blunders in the passes.

Transfer to FC Spartak

In early July 2005, Bystrov received an offer for a four-year contract with Spartak Moscow. As the footballer himself says, the reason for the transition was the conflict that broke out with the head coach of the St. Petersburg club Vlastimil Petrzhela. It was hard for Vladimir to part with his native club, but he said that he had been a Spartak fan since childhood.

Return to Zenit

At the end of the 2009 summer transfer window, the football player (photo by Vladimir Bystrov is presented below) re-signs a contract with the former club. The total cost of the transition was $17 million. St. Petersburg fans took the return of the former football player badly, or rather despised him. The conflict with the fans escalated into a fierce persecution of the player. The football player constantly received threats, and at matches he was shouted humiliation from the stands. The “baiting” on Bystrov lasted until 2012, but the fans still have a residue. In January 2014, Bystrov moved to the Anji club from Makhachkala on loan.

In July 2014, Bystrov signed a three-year contract with the Krasnodar football club, where he remains to play to this day.
