He played as an attacking midfielder, second striker, playmaker. When the Russian national team was headed by Dutch coach Guus Hiddink, Arshavin was included in the main players of the national team.

Родился Андрей Аршавин 29 мая 1981 года в Ленинграде. Интерес к футболу Шава (прозвище Андрея Аршавина) проявлял с раннего детства. Первым тренером будущей знаменитости стал отец – заядлый болельщик и неплохой игрок. Уже в 7-летнем возрасте родители, оценив увлеченность сына футболом, отдали мальчика в школу-интернат «Смена».

Помимо футбола, Аршавин в школьном возрасте увлекался игрой в шашки и легко получил юношеский разряд. Тренер секции шашек пророчил мальчику большое будущее, но парень выбрал футбол. Любимой командой Андрея была испанская «Барселона».

Passion for sports did not prevent Andrey from getting higher education. The footballer received a diploma from the St. Petersburg University of Technology and Design. Not being able to devote time to the profession, Arshavin made clothing modeling his hobby, periodically creating clothing collections for children and adults.

Andrey Arshavin's football career began with the Smena team. For the adult composition of this team, the guy began to play at the age of 16. By the age of 18, the footballer was enrolled in the football club "Zenith", and a year later the young man made his debut in the main team. Arshavin's career is full of ups and downs.

Rapid development began in the 2001/2002 season under the guidance of coach Yuri Morozov. The team became the bronze medalist of the Russian championship, and Arshavin himself became the opening of the season and the best right midfielder. Over the years, the striker has scored 71 goals for this team. The debut in the national team took place on May 17, 2002, and already in 2005 the footballer played in the first team.

In 2007, a fast and physically strong (Andrey's height - 172 cm, weight - 69 kg), the footballer became the captain of Zenit, soon got the captain's bandage in the Russian national team. In 2008, the blue-white-blue won the UEFA Cup. In addition, as part of the Russian national team, Arshavin made his way to the European Championship, where the team took bronze in the continental tournament.

After the end of the championship, European clubs became interested in the attacking midfielder. But, despite the abundance of rumors about the upcoming transfers, Arshavin was still a Zenit player. And only in February 2009, the forward was registered by the English football association as a player of Arsenal, where he played at number 23. According to Sport-Express, the sum of the Russian's contract was £ 16.5 million. The English media announced the size of the salary in the amount of £ 70 thousand per week.

Andrey Arshavin's game with Arsenal was successful at first. The lightning-fast, quick decision-making striker has become the star of world football. The most spectacular match between Arsenal and Liverpool was in April 2009. In this meeting, Andrei scored 4 goals at once, which did not bring victory to the London team, as the opponent equalized the score in the last minutes of the match.

However, fortune soon turned away from the striker. The Russian striker no longer appeared at the base of the Gunners (the nickname of the London Arsenal), in the second team Arshavin also did not differ in useful actions on the field. As a result, the forward turned out to be the worst player in the team. Then football fans talked about the football player's disinterest in the game, they linked this situation with the striker's desire to return to Russia.

On June 27, 2013 the footballer returned to Zenit. After 2 years, the contract with the Russian club ended, and the management decided not to renew the agreement. On July 13, 2015, the athlete officially became a Kuban player. On July 20 of the same year, the forward took part in the first meeting for the Krasnodar team against Ural. But already in February 2016, the player broke his contract with the club.

The footballer has his own distinctive gesture in the game. After each goal scored, the forward, as if calling for silence, puts his index finger to his lips.

It is known that the athlete tried to start a political career in the United Russia party in 2007, but soon refused to be a deputy. The Russian footballer is also a co-owner of CJSC Avtodor Express, Arshavin's share in the company is 49%.

Arshavin began playing for the youth team in 2002. The debut in the national team took place in May 2002 in a match against the team of Belarus. Arshavin scored 9 goals for the Russian team.

Andrey Arshavin played for the Russian national team until 2012. During this time, the national team reached the final part of the 2002 world championship. Despite the successful performances of the football player, Oleg Romantsev, who headed the coaching staff of the Russians, did not include the forward in the application. At the World Cup, which was held in South Korea and Japan, the striker never played.

From 2002 to 2012, the forward played 75 matches and scored 17 goals for the Russian national team, became the team captain, and in 2008, together with Russian footballers, won bronze in the European Championship. It was not possible to repeat the result at Euro 2012. The team failed in the group, losing to the Greek national team, which was considered an outsider. An unsuccessful performance resulted in a verbal skirmish between Arshavin and a fan of the Russian national team, the video got on the Internet. The football player's offensive phrases angered the public. Arshavin later apologized.

In 2016, information appeared that Andrey Arshavin was leaving the Kuban football club. At the beginning of 2016, the footballer announced that he would leave the club even if his agent did not find a new team.

As a result, the Russian forward left the team. Arshavin and the leadership of the Russian club came to such a decision by mutual agreement. The management thanked Arshavin for the game and wished him new sporting achievements.

Football analysts, as well as Instagram users who follow the idol's biography, suggested that the star's departure is associated with a budget cut for the Krasnodar team. The management of the club has changed several times. As a result, “Kuban” took a course to reduce funding, and the footballer went to Kazakhstan.

The sports biography of Andrei Arshavin from March 18, 2016 to November 2018 was associated with the Kazakhstani "Kairat". Interestingly, the Russian was the highest paid player on the team.

Playing for Kairat, Andrey Arshavin managed to become the silver medalist of the Kazakhstan championship, and also won the country's Super Cup.

The personal life of Andrei Arshavin is of interest to many. In 2003, the footballer met Yulia Baranovskaya. At that time, the girl was still a student. The couple's relationship developed so rapidly that a month later the lovers began to live together. In 2005, Baranovskaya gave the football player a son, Artyom, and in 2008, a daughter, Yana.

Andrei and Yulia moved to England with their children, which was due to the player's transfer to Arsenal London. In 2012, the third child of Andrei Arshavin was born, whom it was decided to name Arseny. The boy was born after the separation of his parents. All this time, the couple was in an unregistered relationship. According to Yulia Baranovskaya, it was Andrei who initiated the separation. According to friends, the football player was never distinguished by loyalty, which led to the breakup of the family.

These events caused a stir in the Russian press. Only the lazy did not say that the football player left his wife during her third pregnancy. Yes, and Baranovskaya herself noted that the separation was painful. Through the court, the woman achieved the award of alimony to Arshavin in the amount of 50% of all player's income.

Later, Baranovskaya's lawyer publicly made public the fact that Andrei is not fulfilling his obligations, transferring the amount only from the official salary, not taking into account additional earnings. In addition, Arshavin dragged on for a long time with the transfer of an apartment in St. Petersburg to his children, about which there was a certain agreement.

After the official statement about the termination of relations with Yulia, a lot of rumors arose around Andrei Arshavin. The forward was credited with having an affair with model Leilani Dowding. Before meeting the Russian athlete, the girl met with ex-West Ham defender Anwar Uddin, was engaged to former Middlesbrough striker Jeremy Alladier, and defender Mark Williams, who played for the Northern Ireland national team.

Then the Russian striker was noticed with ex-model Alisa Kazmina, who was previously married to a businessman and lived in England. Andrey's new passion has a son and a daughter.

The lovers met for several years, and their relationship could not be called cloudless. And on September 1, 2016, the wedding of Andrei Arshavin and Alisa Kazmina took place. This became sensational news, because the couple did not inform anyone about the upcoming ceremony. According to some media reports, there were not many guests at the wedding. In February 2017, the couple had a daughter, Esenya.

Andrei Arshavin's wife got along well with the football player's children from previous relationships. The Russian striker also became friends with Alice's children.

In October 2017, Alisa Kazmina announced on social networks about the upcoming divorce. According to the girl, the character of the football player was frivolous, which became the cause of discord in the family. But the parting did not take place, the couple improved their relationship.

The personal life of Andrei Arshavin is still accompanied by scandals. After the birth of her daughter Yeseni, Alisa Kazmina received unpleasant news.

But the man, having learned about the betrayal of the faithful, hastened to share the news with Alice, presenting a photo as evidence.

Kazmina took the news hard, but did not dare to divorce. The girl explained her act to reporters by the fact that Andrei changed after the birth of his daughter and began to devote more time to his family. In addition, Alice cannot complain about everyday life. She spends most of the year with her children on the seaside, and recently received a gorgeous gift - a Lamborghini car.

In January 2018, Arshavin's wife got into a scandalous story related to threats against a native of Kazakhstan, model Olga Semenova, who had previously posted a joint video with Andrey Arshavin on the Web. The girl filed a complaint against Alice with the Kazakh prosecutor's office. A case was brought against Arshavin under three articles.

Kazmina later made a scandal on board the plane before taking off, after which she was forced to leave the cabin. Despite these troubles, Andrei Arshavin did not support his wife and did not intervene in any of the proceedings.
