Alexey Berezutsky is a famous Russian footballer who became famous for his performances for CSKA Moscow and the Russian national team. What is interesting about his biography and personal life?
Biography of Alexei Berezutsky
The future footballer was born on June 20, 1982 in Moscow. He was born only twenty minutes earlier than his twin brother Vasily. From the very birth, Alexey, like his brother, stood out for their height against the background of their peers. The boys' father was a physical education teacher, so he immediately began to involve children in sports. He took them to the Smena football school. Alexey studied at this school for a total of about seven years. But then he gave up football completely.
Once the coach of the Torpedo-Zil football school turned to the boys' parents. He offered to study at their school, and for this receive a scholarship of fifty dollars. At that time, it was a lot of money for young guys, and they immediately agreed.
After several seasons, Alexey first got into the youth team of the Torpedo-Zil club, and then into the main team. He immediately showed his best side. In 2000 he was invited to the Novorossiysk "Chernomorets". There, Berezutsky continued to gain experience and gain muscle mass. Alexey has always played as a defender. The best teams of the country could not pass by such a talented player. As a result, in 2001, both brothers Berezutsky moved to Moscow CSKA. As it turned out, this was the most correct decision in the life of footballers.
As part of CSKA, Alexey played his first match only a year later. At first, it was difficult for him to cope with the new requirements and loads. But then everything worked out, and Berezutsky became the main defender of the club for many years. The peak of his career in the team can be considered 2005, when Alexei not only became the champion of Russia and won the UEFA Cup, but also scored one goal in the final of this tournament.
In total, as part of the army team, Alexei played more than 340 matches and became the six-time champion of Russia and the seven-time winner of the country's Cup. In recent years, he appeared less and less on the football field and more often remained on the bench. But, nevertheless, he always remained faithful to the club. Therefore, he earned the respect not only of his teammates, but also of the team's fans.
In the summer of 2018, the Berezutsky brothers officially announced the end of their football career. What they will do next is still unknown.
In addition to his club career, Alexey also successfully played for the Russian national team. During this time, he played 58 matches at the base of the team and won bronze medals at the 2008 European Championship.
Personal life of Alexey
In addition to affection for one club in his football career, Alexey is also a monogamous person in his personal life. Even from school, he began to be friends with his age-mate Jamila. A few years later, the girl became his wife and gave birth to the football player two children: a daughter and a son.
All his life, Alexei has been friends with his brother Vasily. They even bought a house in an elite district of Moscow next door. But at the same time, the brothers try not to get into each other's personal lives, but only help with practical advice.
