Dmitry Yuryevich Chistyakov is a young Russian footballer playing as a defender. A graduate of the Zenit football academy. Since 2019 he has been playing in the Rostov football club.
Biography
The future footballer was born in January 1994 on the thirteenth in the small Russian town of Pikalevo. From an early age, the boy showed interest in various sports, but he especially liked to play football. Every time he "went out on the field" in the yard or at school, he imagined that someday he would play for real, in the colors of his favorite club or national team. Since the family of the future star of Russian football was not rich, and in his hometown there was no particular choice, they decided to send the boy to the football school of Pikalevsky Metallurg.
The guy quickly showed himself, showed all his talents and after several years he moved to the academy more impressive, to the Tikhvin "Kirovets". This transition became fateful for Chistyakov. At one of the games of the youth team, he was noticed by a representative of the football club "Zenith" and offered to go to their academy. Dmitry agreed without hesitation.
Professional career
Several years in the academy of one of the best football clubs in the country were not in vain, and in 2012 the club offered the player his first professional contract. Despite all this, the level of the young footballer was far from ideal. Chistyakov did not even get into the rotation, and he could only dream of the main team. In the same year, he tried to move to Rostov, where he played only three matches for the youth team and returned back to Zenit. From the next season, Chistyakov was sent to Zenit-2, where he became one of the key players. During the season, he appeared on the field 44 times.
In 2015, the management of the club agreed on the transfer of Chistyakov on a leasehold basis to the Armenian club "Mika". The agreement was designed for one season, during which the talented defender entered the field seventeen times in the national championship and five times in the Armenian Cup. By the time Chistyakov returned from lease, the contract with Zenit was coming to an end, by mutual agreement of the player and the club, the agreement was not renewed, and Dmitry became a free agent for some period.
It did not last long, despite the fact that there is no demand for players of this level in the Premier League, he quickly found a new job. Football club "Shinnik" urgently needed reinforcement in the defensive line and Chistyakov was considered as one of the main options. In the Yaroslavl club, he played for two years, after which he moved to Tambov for one season. In 2019, he signed a contract with Rostov from the Premier League. In September of the same year, he was called up to the national team for the first time in the qualifying tournament for Euro 2020.
Personal life
Despite being called up to the national team and participating in the national championship of the country, Chistyakov has not yet become famous enough to arouse the interest of journalists. In addition, he is a rather modest guy and nothing is known about his personal life.
