Evgeny Markov is a Russian footballer playing as a forward. He is a graduate of the Zenit Academy. In 2015 he was a member of the Russian youth football team.
Biography: early years
Evgeny Stanislavovich Markov was born on July 7, 1994 in St. Petersburg. Since childhood, he was surrounded by sports, because his parents played basketball professionally. It was in the basketball section that they first enrolled their son. However, with this game, Evgeny did not work out, although he had a suitable height.
Markov changed the basketball section to the pool. He practiced swimming much longer, up to about 12 years. He had success in it. He repeatedly won competitions and even managed to get a candidate for master of sports. But his soul did not lie for swimming.
Soon his parents enrolled him in the Zenit football academy. He had a real passion for this game. Evgeny had a very dense physique for his age, so the coaches at first put him in defense. However, in this position, Markov did not fully reveal himself. Over time, he began to skillfully play with his head and he got a well-delivered blow. After that, the coaches decided to try him offensively, and they failed. In this role, Markov revealed himself in all its glory.
Career
In 2013, Zenit got a double - Zenit-2. Markov was immediately included in its composition. Of course, he dreamed of a foundation. But while the club had such masters as Hulk, Arshavin and Kerzhakov, it is very difficult for a young footballer to break into it. In the 2013/2014 season, Evgeniy played in 15 matches, scoring five goals.
At the end of the season, Markov was loaned to Enisey Krasnoyarsk, which played in the FNL. In the Siberian club, Evgeny became one of the favorites of the attacking team. In 14 games, he scored four goals. The fans liked his game, they began to call the footballer “Krasnoyarsk Ibragimovich”.
In the middle of the next season, Evgeny moved to Tosno, which was then still playing in the FNL. Moreover, he did not move to it on a lease basis. Markov deliberately switched to the FNL for the sake of playing practice. He understood that sitting on the bench slowed down his professional growth.
Playing for this club, Eugene scored a hat-trick for the first time in his career. In the same season, Tosno advanced to the Premier League. Markov's contribution was also in such a success of the club.
In January 2018, Evgeniy became a player in the capital "Dynamo". For the blue and white, he played 30 matches and scored five goals. In July 2019, Markov transferred to Rubin on a lease basis.
Personal life
Evgeny Markov is married. His wife's name is Stephanie. Judging by her Instagram, she is engaged in styling photo shoots and video filming, and also offers a personal shopper service.
Eugene and Stephanie got married on June 10, 2018. And six months later, a daughter was born in the family, who was given the name Vivienne.
