Anton Zabolotnuy

Anton Zabolotny is a Russian footballer who played for the national team. He is the recipient of several sports awards. In 2017, he became a player of the Zenit football club, whose honor he defends as a forward.

Anton Zabolotny was born in the town of Aizpute on June 13, 1991. The young man is Latvian by nationality. The father of the future football player worked as a military pilot. Mother, in her youth, was professionally engaged in sprint running. Due to the specialty of his father, the Zabolotny family often moved.

The longest time Anton spent in Lipetsk. From the age of 5, the boy began to attend an acrobatics club. The acquired skills were useful for improving physical fitness as a football player. Zabolotny's trademark - a somersault, performed by him after a goal has been scored, is a kind of reminder of his childhood hobbies.

The first professional club in Anton's biography was Metallurg Lipetsk, based in the Sports School. The team was coached by Oleg Krivolutsky. Seeing the prospects in his son's studies, Zabolotny Sr. took him to a review at CSKA Moscow.

Anton was 13 when he became a potential double player. Nikolay Kozlov and Andrey Plakhetko trained the guy for 6 years, perfecting his playing technique and actions on the field. Then the footballer was allowed to train with the main team, which at that time was led by Valery Gazzaev.

Zabolotny made his debut on March 14, 2008. He was released on the field in the match with Shinnik. Zabolotny was in good standing with Evgeny Giner, the president of CSKA. The surname of the athlete was entered into the application for participation in the Champions League games. The footballer was counted on in the matches against Besiktas and Wolfsburg. But Anton managed to play only in the 1st preseason game. He remained on the bench, and the legionnaires, Wagner Love and Seydou Doumbia, taken to the team, reduced the guy's chances of getting into the base.

From 2008 to 2010, Anton Zabolotny played in football matches as a reserve player for CSKA. During this time, he took part in 41 matches and managed to score 11 goals. In the spring of 2010, the athlete was injured, which became an obstacle to his debut in the Premier League. Zabolotny was rented out, and he met the season finale at the Volgar-Gazprom FND club in Astrakhan. This was followed by such clubs as FNL "Ural" and Bryansk "Dynamo".

A knee surgery performed in 2012 helped improve her health. Zabolotny was ready to conquer new heights. He proved this by playing for CSKA in the 2012/2013 season, where he scored 2 goals in the youth championship in 8 matches.

The sports show in Krylyakh Sovetov in 2013 did not bring the player any interesting prospects, and he went to the Ufa club. In just 1.5 seasons, the athlete took part in 30 matches and scored 4 goals against the opponents. This result cannot be considered successful, so the journey through the Second League clubs continued.

In the fall of 2014, the footballer joined the Voronezh team Fakel. The PFL Championship 2014-2015 brought him participation in 19 matches, where the player managed to score 10 goals. The following year in the FNL, his performance was not so powerful.

For 18 games Zabolotny scored only 1 goal, as he was rarely released on the field. During his work in the clubs of the second division, the striker managed to gain experience. He had to play on poor-quality fields, his salary was delayed, relations with the management did not always work out properly.

Lack of playing practice was the reason for his transfer to the Tosno club. Here, as a rented player, the footballer scored 4 goals in 10 matches. Representatives of the football club offered him a contract, and in the 2016/2017 season Zabolotny officially represented the team in player status.

This period turned out to be a breakthrough in the career of a young man. Having received the title of the club's top scorer, Anton demonstrated results that did not go unnoticed by the Zenit leaders. He was invited to play for the St. Petersburg club, offering a contract for 3.5 years. Zabolotny's transfer cost € 1.5 million.

The debut in the team was the match with Copenhagen, which took place in the UAE as part of the training and sports camp. Zabolotny scored the first goal at Zenit. Immediately after that, the footballer, along with other players of the team, represented the club in the 1/16 finals of the Europa League, opposing the Celtica club.

Anton Zabolotny defended the honor of the youth and youth national teams of Russia, being a player of CSKA. In the summer of 2017, he was invited to the expanded composition of the Russian national team. The footballer took part in a training match in Novogorsk, and already in September received permission from Stanislav Cherchesov to participate in matches against Iran and South Korea.

Zenit footballer is married to Lilia Zabolotnaya. Like her husband, the girl grew up in a military family. The couple met in Yekaterinburg in 2011, when Anton was a player at FC Ural. Lilia was in the city on a business trip. A casual acquaintance in the company of friends grew into love, and in 2014 the girl became the wife of an athlete.

Soon a son was born. His birth changed Anton's lifestyle and worldview. Family, children, and spouse were prioritized over the preferable dates and nightclubs in youth.

The footballer spends his free time with loved ones and periodically publishes joint photos on his Instagram account. The athlete's personal life has developed successfully, and he is extremely proud of it.

The Zenit player has gone a difficult path to success. For failures, he blamed only himself and surprised others with hard work and perseverance. In an interview with the press, the footballer often admitted mistakes.

The frivolity of youth was replaced by objectivity, and now Anton is consciously approaching the profession. Accidentally thrown by Pavel Mamaev, the phrase "Russian Balotelli" stuck to Zabolotny as a nickname, and journalists sometimes call him that in reviews. The player is loved by fans who pay great attention to his fashionable image and hairstyle.

Today Anton Zabolotny plays in the St. Petersburg club. His position on the pitch is striker. The athlete considers Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Diego Costa to be his idols, trying to reach the same heights as they do.

Anton dreams of participating in a Champions League match. To implement it, you need to win the Russian championship or become the winner of the Europa League as part of your team. In 2018, Zenit took 5th place in the Russian football championship and was admitted to the European League.

The athlete is 191 cm tall and weighs 90 kg.
