Daler Kuzyaev

When Roberto Mancini became the head of Zenit's coaching staff, unexpectedly for the fans and specialists, he returned the former pupils to the club's camp. Daler Kuzyaev admitted in an interview that there were proposals from several foreign and Russian teams, including Spartak under the leadership of Massimo Carrera, but moving to the banks of the Neva is beyond competition:

The goal scored by the footballer in July 2017 at the 8th minute of his debut match with SKA-Khabarovsk was the first for him in the senior Premier League and the winning goal for the team in the new season.

Daler is a Tatar by nationality, was born in Naberezhnye Chelny on January 15, 1995 (zodiac sign Capricorn). A couple of years later, the Kuzyaev family moved to Orenburg. The father of the future Zenit player, a professional football coach, was invited to work with Gazovik.

According to the elder Kuzyaev, the boy became interested in football without any prompting from his relatives. However, the choice of profession is not surprising. Grandfather, father and older brother Ruslan devoted most of their lives to this particular sport.

While the parents were busy with work, Ruslan was raising Daler. Children spent a lot of time in the yard, so the athlete from a young age fought on the football field with opponents older and larger than himself.

Already at the age of 7, the coaches of children's teams noted the boy's talent and hard work. The child grasped the techniques with lightning speed and listened carefully to the advice. The only thing that the elder Kuzyaev paid special attention to was Daler's ability to work with both feet. Like all right-handers, the son almost did not score from the left.

Kuzyaev's small stature caused no less problems. Coaches, noticing a short guy, regretfully refused to take him to the team. At the same time, the mentors noted the tactical thinking of the growing football player. Now such problems do not bother the player - the growth of the matured Daler is 182 cm, and his weight is 74 kg.

In 2011, a footballer gets a well-deserved chance to reach a new level. The young man is invited to the Zenit club academy, where Kuzyaev spends only one season.

Despite the excellent reviews, Daler was not left in Zenit-2. Talks about such a decision were conducted with the player's father, but things did not go further than vague promises. Therefore, the young man leaves St. Petersburg and moves to Petrozavodsk, where he is part of the football club from the second division "Karelia".

This decision is not at all accidental: at the time of Daler's appearance, Adyam Kuzyaev, the player's dad, became the team's coach. Now he had to work twice as hard. The father did not give his son a descent and demanded more from the player than from the rest of the team.

A season later, Karelia was disbanded, but Daler managed to prove himself in 22 matches. The next step in the career ladder, according to Kuzyaev's plan, was to be the Rubin club. At the training camp I trained with the team, but the coach Kurban Berdyev suggested that the player, who made only a positive impression, try himself in Nizhnekamsk Neftekhimik.

The transition was hard for the footballer. Despite the regular self-improvement, the new club of the midfielder had other requirements. Even without finishing the season, Daler again changes the club, besides Berdyev left Rubin, and without him the prospects looked vague. This time the young man signs a contract with Terek (Akhmat).

The first six months Kuzyaev did not go to the games. Team coach Rashid Rakhimov was looking closely at the new player, often changing Daler's position on the field, trying the player in new and unexpected connections. Fans of "Akhmat" noted a short and medium pass, mostly with the bottom. Daler's work at the Grozny club continued until 2017.

In the next time period, the athlete's biography underwent noticeable changes. Kuzyaev graduated from the magistracy at St. Petersburg State University of Economics and entered graduate school. Initially, parents insisted on higher education, but unlike most athletes, Daler independently passes exams and, if possible, attends lectures.

In parallel with defending his master's degree, Kuzyaev completed his transfer to the Zenit football club. Las Palmas showed no less interest in the talented newcomer, but negotiations between Kuzyaev's agents, Akhmat and the Spanish club reached a dead end. However, according to the footballer himself, such an outcome of the transfer suited him. According to rumors, the player receives one and a half of the salary of Argentinean Leandro Paredes.

An equally important event in 2017 was the midfielder's invitation to the Russian national team. Simultaneously with the proposal from the Russian representatives, delegates from Tajikistan expressed their desire to see Daler in the national team. The choice for a football player was obvious. The newly-minted Zenit player announced that he would only play for the national team of the country where he was born and raised. Of course, there is no question of changing citizenship.

In 2018, the midfielder did not slow down in an effort to win his own place among the elite of Russian football. Unlike most of his associates, Daler does not maintain a personal account on Instagram, preferring VKontakte and Facebook. Fans learn news about the athlete only from the press, and photos are published on the pages of fan communities.

In March, during a match with Rostov, Daler suffered an ankle injury. The footballer was able to independently get to the sports doctor, who did not express concerns about Kuzyaev's condition. The player, who is training with the Russian national team in parallel with Zenit, had to reshape the schedule and conduct individual lessons.

A couple of days later, when the doctors allowed Daler to participate in group exercises, the football player again felt discomfort. The midfielder had to stop training with the Russian national team. In April, at the meeting between Zenit and Arsenal Tula, Kuzyaev came out in the 66th minute of the match and scored a double, leveling the score. Fans awarded the footballer the title of the best player in the memorable confrontation. In November of the same year, he became the best athlete of the month.

Every day of the midfielder is scheduled by the minute, and there is no time for his personal life. In a live broadcast, which was broadcast by representatives of the Russian national team on a social network, the athlete admitted that he did not have not only a wife, but even a close friend. Moreover, Kuzyaev has never been on a date with a girl.

Daler spends his free time from football and study with his family: parents, older brother and younger sister. The rising star of Zenit also travels with them on vacation.

In the club, at the suggestion of Alexander Anyukov, Kuzyaev was given the nickname Valerchik. Best friends among colleagues are Andrey Lunev, Anton Zabolotny and Denis Terentyev. As a child, Dahler rooted for English Arsenal and still admires the performance of Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp and Zinedine Zidane.

In St. Petersburg, the Zenit head coach was not respected by football fans. Mancini was unable to establish contact with the players, which affected the performance of the game. The mentor was not forgiven for the departure of Artyom Dzyuba and Oleg Shatov. But what no one took away from the Italian was that he raised from Daler a player worthy of the national team. Kuzyaev went to the 2018 World Cup in the company of Igor Smolnikov, Alexander Erokhin and Branislav Ivanovich.

Stanislav Cherchesov released the midfielder on the field in all matches of the national team. Daler said that the most important victory in his life was the victory over Spain in 1/8, in a meeting with the Croatian national team he realized a penalty kick, but this did not save the team from defeat.

The footballer considered the world championship as a chance to loudly declare himself in the eyes of professionals and suggested that many colleagues could leave, and if he received an offer, he would "consider it from all sides."

In March 2019, during the Euro 2020 qualifying match, Kuzyaev suffered a knee injury. The midfielder underwent surgery in Germany, but was out of the game for 2 months. Not long before that, Daler hit hard against a metal fence of the field when he ran out of the endline by inertia in the meeting between Zenit and Luxemburg Dudelange in the Europa League game. Later, Petersburgers dropped out of the European competition, but ended the season on the positive side - they won the title of Russian champions.
