The career of the Russian footballer Vasily Vladimirovich Berezutsky began very early, while still in secondary school. There were ups and downs in his biography, sports and personal life, but he deserved all his titles by right.
According to Vasily Berezutsky himself, he realized that football would become his profession when he received his first fee. The amount was small, only $ 50, but at that time the guy seemed just huge, and became a kind of impetus for further development and improvement of skills.

We can safely say that the brothers' whole life was devoted to football. They practically did not have personal time, the day went by the same type - classes in a general education school, then training.
Vasily, as it is not surprising, liked to play basketball more, and he even gave up football, in an ultimatum form insisted on changing the field of training. Fate decreed otherwise. Vasily Vladimirovich Berezutsky became one of the legendary defenders of the new Russian football, received the title of Honored Master of Sports, and headed the Russian national team as its captain for two years.

Personal life of Vasily Berezutsky
In the life of Vasily there was and is only one woman - his wife Olga, a representative of a sports family, but from a different sphere. Her parents were professional basketball players. Perhaps, in this way, Vasily brought his child's place closer to play on the basketball field.
The couple have two children - a son, Vladimir, named after his father's grandfather, and a daughter, Nastya. The footballer's wife is far from sports, devotes most of her time to family and home. Some time ago, Olga Berezutskaya tried her hand at the big stage, sang as part of the Vintage group, but did not “catch fire” with art and returned to a more pleasant occupation for herself - creating a reliable rear for a star husband and children.
