Dmitry Sychev: "He left Spartak when he became afraid for his life." Dmitry Sychev: biography and personal life of a football player

He was introduced as a Lokomotiv-Kazanka player, who will take part in the PFL from next season. We recall the bright moments of the career of the Russian striker, which you might have forgotten.

Scored in every second match for Spartak

In the 2002 Russian Championship, Sychev, as part of the Moscow Spartak, took part in 18 matches and scored 9 goals. One of them was scored against Zenit on May 1 and brought the red-and-whites a victory over their principal rival. Celebrating the goal, Sychev showed the famous T-shirt “Who are we? Meat! ”, For which he was punished with a yellow card. As Sychev himself later said, he gave a T-shirt to a former teammate in the Tambov Spartak.

Having scored his fourth goal against Anji Makhachkala, Sychev single-handedly led the race of scorers in the national championship. At the same time, he became the youngest player to lead in terms of goals scored and goals + assists during the season. This performance has not gone unnoticed. Moscow Spartak coach Oleg Romantsev in one of the interviews, he even called the football player the “trump card” of the team.

Became the youngest participant in the final stage of the World Cup in the history of Russia

In 2002, at the World Championship, which was held in Korea and Japan, the Russian team took third place in the group and failed to qualify for the playoff round. took part in all three games of the group stage and became the youngest participant in the final stage of an international tournament in the history of the Russian team. At that time he was 18 years, 7 months and 10 days old.

In the match against Tunisia, he spent 35 minutes on the field. During this time, Sychev managed to earn a penalty, successfully converted by Valery Karpin, and give an assist Egor Titov. In the match with Japan, Dmitry spent the entire second half on the field, but could not distinguish himself. And in the decisive match against Belgium, Sychev, again coming on as a substitute, managed not only to give an assist, but also to score a goal.

Was sold by Spartak to Marseille for 3 million euros

During his career, Sychev was close to moving to the top European clubs more than once. At one time, Real Madrid, Milan, Bayern, Juventus and others were interested in him. Before the football player was finally able to leave for Europe, a serious scandal erupted. Dmitry was going to break the contract with Spartak and move to Dynamo Kiev, but the Moscow club threatened with disqualification.

In the end, Sychev nevertheless decided to leave. In response to this, Spartak achieved a four-month disqualification of the football player through the FTC and refused to let the player go. The conflict ended with the fact that in December 2002 Spartak signed an agreement with the Marseille Olympic to sell the Russian footballer for 3 million euros.

Thanks to Sychev's goal, Russia reached Euro 2008

Everyone remembers how the 2008 European Championship turned out for Russia. The phenomenal result for our team - the bronze medal of the international tournament - is still considered one of the main achievements. However, few people remember that Sychev's goal was partly decisive in the selection for the tournament.

In the match against Andorra, the Russian team needed only a victory - their own and the Croatian team over England. Already at the 38th minute Dmitry Torbinsky gave an assist to Sychev, who threw the ball into the goal with his head. Taking into account Denis Kolodin's unrealized penalty, we can safely say that it was Sychev who brought him to the final stage of the European championship.

Moments of Dmitry Sychev

We recall the most important moments in the career of Dmitry Sychev, who turns 30 today.

Wanted to return to Spartak

In one of the interviews, he admitted that he was thinking about returning to Spartak, and in 2007 he told the agent that he wanted to play for the red-and-white team again. His representative Pavel Andreev immediately contacted the technical director of the club Evgeny Smolentsev and announced Sychev's desire to return to Spartak. True, the club was not interested in the player, and Leonid Fedun this transfer was not supported.

Was Loskov's most convenient partner

A bunch of Sychev - Loskov was one of the most powerful in the 2000s in the Premier League. The secret of the high performance shown by the “railroad workers” was in complete understanding between the players. In an interview with "Championship" Dmitry Loskov admitted that it was most convenient for him to enter the field with Sychev.

- On the field, he was located relative to me so as to receive the transfer, - said Loskov. - He knew that I would give him, and ran to where I can send the ball. Winning half a meter from the defender, he already had an advantage. Therefore, the main thing was to give back on time.

Loskov: Ovchinnikov shouted to Semin: “Get in the gate yourself!”

Dmitry Loskov, visiting the Championship, spoke about returning to Lokomotiv, the best partner in attack and what Evseev is afraid of.

Byshovets suspected Sychev of unwillingness to score

Loskov said that after one of the matches Anatoly Byshovets, being the head coach of Lokomotiv, approached Sychev with the following words: “Dima, you couldn’t score or didn’t want to?” The football player admitted that he was dumbfounded by such a question, completely confused and did not know what to answer to such a statement. Anatoly Fedorovich himself has repeatedly denied the existence of this conversation.

Olga Smorodskaya sent him to retire

In 2014 Olga Smorodskaya, being the president of Lokomotiv, announced to reporters that the club offered Sychev to terminate the contract ahead of schedule, and himself. However, Dmitry himself said that he had not made such decisions and was going to continue playing football.

- I did not decide to end my career. When I decide for myself that I am finishing, it will be so. And when third parties talk about it, it’s not entirely correct, ”Sychev said in an interview with the correspondent of the Championship, Ivan Karpov.

As a result, Sychev was heavily fined by Lokomotiv for communicating with the media, but he really did not finish his career.

Lived and continues to live in sports

After an embarrassing situation Olga Smorodskaya Lokomotiv sent Sychev on loan to the Kazakh Okzhetpes. As part of the team, Dmitry entered the field in 10 matches. The striker managed to score with only one goal, but he interrupted Sychev's goalless streak, which lasted almost two years.

After the lease expired, Sychev did not part with the sport and decided to try his hand at amateur football. His new club was a club from the second division of the Eastern League of Moscow "BFS".

In the summer of 2017, he also signed up for the Lokomotiv beach football club, trained with the team, took to the field and even scored a goal. And now the 33-year-old striker has signed a one-year contract with Lokomotiv Kazanka and will continue his career in the PFL.

The famous football player was born in October 1983 in Tomsk, in a family of famous athletes. His father, Evgeny Sychev, played for local football clubs for a long time, and his mother was seriously involved in athletics in her youth.

Already at an early age, Dima showed a remarkable interest in football, which was competently “warmed up” by his father, who taught him the basics of this exciting game. At the age of eight, the boy also became interested in hockey, without missing, however, football training. But over time, he realized that it was football that mattered more to him.

Carier start

At the age of nine, Dima entered the Dynamo Sports School. Here he was able to receive a full training. Possessing a strong character and leadership qualities, Dima became the captain of the youth team, playing the role of a striker.

After a while, a talented guy was invited to the St. Petersburg sports school "Change". From that moment on, his career began to rise uphill. He quickly won the title of champion of the city, became a player in the national youth team, began to play in the second league of the Russian championship.

With his brilliant game, the young athlete was able to interest venerable coaches, and in 2002 he received an invitation to play in the Moscow "Spartak". Having successfully played several games, Dmitry signed a five-year contract with the Moscow club.

Trained with stronger and more experienced players, Sychev rapidly increased his skills and carefully polished his own style of play.

Russian team

In 2002, Sychev became the youngest player to score a goal at the World Cup. Then Dmitry was only 18 years old. For the first time, he felt the taste of real glory, which fell upon him overnight.

In August 2002, Sychev decided to leave Spartak, handing the FC President a letter of resignation just a couple of hours before the upcoming match with FC Alania. At that time, his contract was still valid, but the athlete explained his act by the fact that Spartak was the first to violate the terms of the contract by not paying him the amount in the amount of ten thousand dollars.

The break with the club had a negative impact on Dmitry's future career: he was not invited to the game with Sweden, he did not get to the qualifying game of the European Championship. By decision of the Russian Federation of Sports, Sychev was disqualified for 4 months.

In December 2002, the football player was sold by Spartak to the Marseille club Olympique, in which he initially played on the sidelines. However, he soon managed to prove his professionalism.

In 2003, he received the title of bronze medalist of the French Championship.

Dmitry was well aware that his position in the club was very precarious, and began to actively look for suitable options for developing his career.

Moscow Lokomotiv

In early 2004, Dmitry returned to his homeland and signed a contract with FC Lokomotiv for a period of three years. He managed to show in all its splendor his skill, diligence and desire to play. This behavior bribed coach Yuri Semin, who began to release a new player on the field at every match.

2004 was a very successful year for Sychev: his old dream came true - he ended up in the Russian team at the World Championships, and was also recognized as the best forward.

A year later, the footballer suffered a severe knee injury. After the operation, it took him six months to repair the damaged joint. Returning to big sport, he extended his contract with Lokomotiv for another four years.

However, at that time, another person was already the coach of the club - Slaven Bilic. He did not see a future for Dmitry and rarely took him to the field.

Since 2013, Dmitry has repeatedly changed domestic football clubs, but in none of them could he show his talent as a recognized striker.

In his free time, Sychev plays hockey, billiards, tennis with great pleasure, enjoys surfing, fishing. She is fluent in three foreign languages: French, English and Spanish. She enjoys reading books and listening to music.

Dmitry is not only a famous football player, but also a very popular person. So, in 2007, he played himself in one of the episodes of the TV show Our Russia. A year later, he participated in the Pepsi Team commercial along with such world stars as Messi, Ronaldinho, Beckham, Lampard. Repeatedly participated in the advertising of the sports brand Puma, which was the technical sponsor of FC Lokomotiv.

Sychev is still of interest to the public, and in 2018 a film with his participation - "Coach" is released.

Personal life

The personal life of a famous football player has always been the subject of increased attention from the press. He was credited with novels with the most beautiful and bright girls of the capital's beau monde, but Dmitry never commented on his novels.

Currently, he has been living with his beloved, a model named Anna, for a long time. The player has no children yet.

Famous Russian footballer, forward of the PFL championship club "Kazanka". In 2002-2010, he played for the Russian national team, in which he became the bronze medalist of the 2008 European Championship.

Biography of Dmitry Sychev

Dmitry Sychev was born in Omsk on October 26, 1983. The love of football was instilled in Dima by his father, who constantly took the boy to football and taught him the art of ball possession. Everyone who knew the boy as a child says that he was just crazy about football.

At the age of 8, the boy also attended the hockey section. But later I realized that football for him, nevertheless, is much more attractive. In 1993, Dmitry became a student of the 20th children's and youth sports school of the Olympic reserve of the Dynamo society, where he received his football education. He was appointed team captain and began to play as a striker.

Sports career of Dmitry Sychev

After several matches in the national team of the Ural region, Sychev was invited to a St. Petersburg football school called "Change". Here he received the title of champion of the city, and he was called up to the national youth team. sixteen year old Dmitry Sychev began to play in the second league of the championship of Russia.

On June 25, 2000, Sychev made his debut in the team of the Tambov "Spartacus". From this moment begins the professional career of a football player. In January of the following year, Dmitry becomes one of the top scorers of the tournament and the winner of the Granatkin Memorial.

In 2002, Dmitry was invited to play in the capital "Spartacus". On January 21, after a successful tournament in Turkey, Sychev signed a 5-year contract with the Moscow club.

Thanks to his skill, Dmitry received an invitation to represent the Russian team at the 2002 World Championship. Sychev scored a goal for the Belgians, thanks to which he received the status of the youngest athlete to score a goal in this championship - then he was 18 years old.

December 20, 2002 by decision Andrey Chervichenko, president FC Spartak, Dmitry Sychev was sold to Marseille "Olympic". At first, the football player worked as part of a new team only on substitutions, and yet he was able to score 3 goals in 17 matches. As part of this team, Dmitry will receive the title of bronze medalist of the French Championship 2003.

In January 2004 Dmitry Sychev returned to Russia and signed a contract with the capital team "Locomotive" valid until 2007.

In the middle of the season in the match Rubin - Lokomotiv The football player suffered a serious knee injury. The football player recovered from the injury only in March 2006.

In 2007, Dmitry extended his contract with "Locomotive" for another 4 years. In 2013, for about 6 months, the footballer played for the Belarusian "Dynamo", and from there he moved to the Nizhny Novgorod team "Volga".

In July 2016, it became known that ex-forward of the Russian national team Dmitry Sychev returned to the system Lokomotiv. He signed a one-year deal with the re-established farm club "Loko", "Kazanka", and next season will start in the PFL. Rumor has it that the player will get a chance to return to the main "Locomotive".

Personal life of Dmitry Sychev

This part of life Dmitry Sychev has always been a subject of discussion among journalists. On his account, according to the press, novels with Ksenia Borodina, Svetlana Svetikova, Anna Dubovitskaya and Keti Topuria. However, Dmitry himself denies this.

In 2011, a football player in one of the capital's nightclubs met a model named Anna. Their relationship has been going on for more than one year, Dmitry is happy with his chosen one.

The famous football player constantly starts love affairs, but is afraid to marry

Fans of Lokomotiv are perplexed: what is happening with Dmitry Sychev? Until recently, Dima was the team's top scorer and its captain, and now he is wiping his pants on the bench and does not even get into the application for the match!

In the new season, Lokomotiv has a new broom. Main coach Slaven Bilic, who led the Croatian national team at Euro 2012, does not notice point-blank Dmitry Sychev. The popular striker was transferred to a dead reserve - in eight starting matches of the championship, he only came on as a substitute twice. Is this the end of a career?
- I told Dimka: we need to change the club! He spent too much time at Lokomotiv, they don’t let him play there, - the former striker of the “railwaymen” believes Ruslan Pimenov. - I advised you to go to Dynamo - after the departure of Voronin, the White-and-Blues had problems in attack. But Dima decided to stay. Maybe he was afraid that Dynamo would fly out of the Premier League?

In October, Sychev will turn 29. He is a year younger Alexandra Kerzhakova, who plays in the best club in the country and regularly scores for the Russian national team. Dmitry is two years younger Romana Pavlyuchenko, who managed to play in England and who, it seems, ousted Sychev from the basis of Loko. And Dmitry is losing the competition for a place in the squad to attackers from Ecuador and Senegal. The national teams of these countries get to the World Championships every 30 years.
Where did Sychev's scoring instinct go? Why did he give up so abruptly?

“Nothing surprising, it’s just that the young man’s football has faded into the background,” the former president of Spartak is sure. Andrey Chervichenko. - Sychev got his own business, he opened a restaurant and lost motivation in sports. When Dima came to us at Spartak, he was a boy with naive, kind eyes. He was in seventh heaven with happiness that he got into such a club! But then dad and the agents wanted easy money, fooled the guy's head, and Sychev succumbed to their influence. Left ugly. We raised his salary three times, if not five times, and Sychev and dad went against the club.

Honored Coach of Russia Alexander Tarkhanov believes that the player himself is to blame for his current problems:

- I can not say that Pavlyuchenko, Caicedo and Ndoye they are superior in class to Sychev. But Bilic still trusts them more. What remains for Dima? Work hard and prove your worth. Or change clubs. I remember Vlad Radimov I was going to end my career at the age of 25! Well, his game was not going well, the guy was lost. I dissuaded him, invited him to the "Wings of the Soviets" - and Radimov regained confidence. And then Vlad was called to Zenit. In general, it seems to me that Sychev made a big mistake when he ran away from Spartak. He is more suited to this team. By the way, I am familiar with the father of the football player Evgeny and I told him in the eyes that he was wrong in that story. Five years later, Dima himself wanted to return to Spartak, but he was not accepted back.

Surprised the lady behind the wheel

When Sychev was just starting his sports career, but had already managed to “light up” at the World Championships in Japan, he was asked:

- Do dates with girls interfere with football?

Dima immediately replied:

- Of course not!

He behaved accordingly. Romance with a singer Katy Topuria lasted two weeks - the parties parted without any regret. With a participant in the project "Dom-2" Ksenia Borodina he met several times, but then Dima flew off to the match and completely forgot his girlfriend. With unknown girls who themselves were ready to go to bed with an idol, he did not stand on ceremony. I gave money for a taxi in the morning and forgot their phone number.

But Katya Surkova, a dance teacher from the Moscow show ballet "Street Jazz", seems to have captured the heart of a football player in earnest. Dima rented an apartment for her, a couple in love rested together abroad, and once they both appeared in the Kremlin at the Golden Gramophone award ceremony. Sychev was afraid to take his passion there, but the girl asked him so tearfully ... It is interesting that they thought about opening an online store for orthopedic mattresses, but then abandoned this idea.

The lovers sat separately. During the intermission, some unfamiliar guy drove up to Katya and began to lavish compliments. They both went to the cafeteria. All this happened in front of Sychev, but he did not dare to intervene. After the concert, Katya was the first to leave, and after half a minute Dima. But the paparazzi still took them together. The forward's romance with the dancer lasted almost three years. Katya recklessly posted several joint photos in an online diary. Sychev did not like this, and they parted.

Rumor attributed to the Loko football player a love affair and with Anna Dubovitskaya. This girl, who came to Moscow from Saratov, also started her career at the Street Jazz school, then made her way into the Brilliant group, replacing Yulia Kovalchuk. Sychev made expensive gifts for Anna, took her to restaurants and clubs, but something didn’t work out for them. Dubovitskaya had an affair with a successful businessman Sergei Anokhin. They say that Anya is too greedy for money, and Dima does not like to throw them. A case in point comes to mind.

A few years ago, Sychev got into trouble. While driving a Toyota Land Cruiser, he ran a red light and caused an accident. The woman driving another foreign car, the Toyota Corolla, received multiple injuries. Sychev also suffered a little, and he was fined - 1,500 rubles. For a football player who receives millions, this is a drop in the bucket. But Sychev, imagine, decided to appeal the court's decision! The lady was shocked.

According to his acquaintances, Dmitry is afraid that all the girls who meet him on the way are primarily interested in money. They know that Sychev is rich and famous, and therefore they “peck” at him. There are a lot of unsuccessful marriages among football players. Kerzhakov, Aldonin, Ovchinnikov- they separated from their wives quite recently. So Sychev is afraid of getting burned.

Few people know that he knocked wedges to the two-time Olympic champion in rhythmic gymnastics Evgenia Kanaeva. She is an educated, decent girl. And very wealthy. The athletes met at a base near Moscow in Novogorsk, where gymnasts-"artists" train. Then they met in their hometown - Omsk. But Kanaeva was whispered “in secret” that Sychev does not get out of nightclubs and changes girls like T-shirts. Evgeniya checked the information. And sent off a womanizer footballer. They say that the beautiful gymnast was fascinated by another man - a hockey player Igor Musatov. By the way P Sychev's philanthropist Ruslan Pimenov repeatedly violated the sports regime. Sometimes he incited Dima to a friendly drinking party.

There is a monument to Starostin at the Spartak stadium. The people (albeit of a different era) come up to him, mentally grateful: if there weren’t these four comrades, embodied now in bronze, Spartak would not have appeared. When Lokomotiv fans see Sychev, most of them have important goals spinning in their heads, difficult relations with Spartak and tears in Japan.

This is generally some kind of trouble for many of our players. A small flash, after which titles, honor and adoration. And then - despondency, flowing smoothly into a state where the components of the previous sentence begin to be built into a cult. So Sychev dragged powerful cliches behind him for too long, gradually finding himself in the depths of Lokomotiv's reserve.

I recall the famous episode in the long-closed Nasha Rush. Dmitry Sychev took part in a series where he is great and famous, and a flattering coach tries to drag him to Gazmyas. Dima comes out of this sketch almost like Cristiano Ronaldo, pathetically offers to put the ball to Mikhail Galustyan where you thought, and is remembered by the TNT viewer as the main star of all football.

And now Sychev is not just in Gazmyas, but in his Kazakh modification - Okzhetpes. Could this inevitable step have been avoided? Hard to say. What has Dmitry been doing for the last five years? He scored for the last time for Dynamo Minsk in the Europa League qualification. For the club in the regular season differed in general in ancient times.

There was a lease at Volga, where Sychev managed to give a whole assist in 16 matches. This team formed a whole team of veterans, in which Dmitry had a chance to become a leader, a motor, and then return to Lokomotiv, where Smorodskaya loved Dima to the last (according to some reports, the forward received a million euros a year without entering even in the application).

What happened? Again I ask this question, already sending it to the rhetorical table. After all, Sychev's generation, in principle, realized itself. Kerzhakov, Izmailov and many others are now needed by different teams (albeit more because of citizenship). But Dmitry, objectively speaking, would not be useful to any RFPL club today. The basement has its own struggle, where you need ram forwards in a constant tone. The leaders, to put it mildly, have already forgotten about the existence of such a player. So: only Kazakhstan, where a whole collection of Russian players has already gathered, who have not managed to gain a foothold in the RFPL club.

In my opinion, the reason lies solely in professionalism. In Europe, a high-class football player is obliged to plow for 15 years like a rabid farmer who has ten loans. There are exceptions in the face of the same Balotelli. But his gouging is periodically compensated by exploits on the field.

Sychev, having shot very early, could not withstand all the pressure. Perhaps the character is just like this: by the age of 30, I got tired of playing football, I need to change the field of activity. But Dima clings to the great game, to the last holds on to the cut branch, trying to shout about his importance.

And even, his mother, the limit did not help! This is what life has brought Sychev to. Trying to delve into this situation, you realize how miserable everything has become. It is possible that Lokomotiv did not say goodbye to Dmitry in time, but he is no longer 18, and the club cannot decide everything for the player. I do not exclude that the shuffling of restrictions on foreigners will throw a dozen more infantile guys who once scored, lit up, to the sidelines. Yes, or simply - they were once born in Russia. Then we will study in detail all this psychology of losers. We are talking harshly here, since Olga Yuryevna has long spent all the extra sentiment on such players.

What to wish Sychev? Good luck? Well, what kind of luck is it to be in Okzhetpes? Health is definitely worth wishing - Dmitry suffered in his time, retiring for many months. I would like to find myself. Perhaps sit down at the DJ console or learn how to run a business. In any case, there is no point in talking about the current Dmitry Sychev. Dig through the archives - there's a lot to discuss there.
