Dmitri Tarasov

Dmitry Tarasov was once one of the best central midfielders in Russian football. Now they talk about him as the most overrated player, and his personal life interests the public more than sports. In a sense, he achieved such popularity thanks to his marriage and scandalous divorce from the famous TV presenter and ex-participant of the reality show "Dom-2" Olga Buzova.

Dmitry was born on March 18, 1987 in Moscow. Father and mother at that time were raising their eldest daughter, Catherine. The press also recorded the rapper T-killah (Alexander Tarasov) as brothers to the footballer, but the men, although friends in life, are relatives in spirit, not blood.

Tarasov Sr., an army officer, wanted his son to do karate, but the child was not interested in martial arts. Football is another matter: Dima enrolled in the Labor Reserves section of the Sports School. At the junior games, Spartak coach Valentin Ivakin noticed him and invited him to the team. Dmitry played quite successfully for Spartak, graduated from a sports school, but then disagreements began with the club's management.

Tarasov moved from the youth team of Spartak to Tom, where he spent 3 seasons. The reason for such a radical step was a difficult and unpleasant situation: the eminent team did not really need a footballer, and signing a contract with it meant staying in old positions for another 5 years. Then the agent looked for an option with "Tomyu", and, although the parents were not happy with this decision, the young man left for the province.

Here the game did not work out - in 54 games Dmitry scored only twice. However, in an interview about that period, he recalls with gratitude:

By the way, Tarasov's height is 192 cm, weight - 85 kg.

The next team was "Moscow". The midfielder scored 2 goals in 25 meetings, but this was not the main thing. He attracted the attention of Guus Hiddink, who was then coaching the Russian national team, who invited Dmitry to the main football team of the country. At the same time, the young man signed a 3-year contract with Lokomotiv. “Railwaymen” will become the main place of work in the player's sports biography.

At the beginning of 2014, there were rumors that Zenit St. Petersburg intended to lure the player away. Whether this is so is unknown, but Dmitry himself claimed that he was not going to change the team. He missed most of that year due to an injury - a ruptured cruciate ligament of the knee. He played several matches in 2015 as a spectator due to disqualification. And the 2016/2017 season can be called a failure in the midfielder's career, appearing on the field only 3 times.

Nevertheless, Tarasov became the champion of Russia as part of Lokomotiv, received silver and bronze medals of the tournament, and won the Russian Cup three times. In the national team, he entered the Confederations Cup game, but did not make it to the list of players who defended the country's honor at the World Cup.

Tarasov also became a hero of social and political news. After the first game of the 1/16 finals of the Europa League between Turkish Fenerbahce and Lokomotiv, Dmitry took off his T-shirt, under which was a T-shirt with the image of Vladimir Putin and the inscription “The most polite president”.

UEFA, which does not welcome the manifestation of political sympathies on the field, fined the Russian € 5,000. He himself explained that he wanted to express his attitude towards Putin with such a “demonstration”:

With his first wife, gymnast Oksana Ponomarenko, the footballer met even before moving to Tomsk. Upon the return of Dmitry, the couple played a wedding, and in mid-2009 a girl was born, who was named Angelina. In 2011, the marriage broke up. With Oksana, Tarasov remained in a difficult relationship, and communicates little with his daughter.

Alimony (according to media reports, over 15 million rubles), the woman had to "knock out" through the court with the help of Sergei Zhorin. According to the "star" lawyer, in addition to the actual alimony, by the middle of 2019, 9 million rubles had already been "dripped". penalties, plus a performance fee of 500 thousand rubles. And the longer the payment is delayed, the more debt will be. The athlete's bank accounts were arrested, and a ban on leaving Russia was imposed. Dmitry also filed a lawsuit, but only with a demand to reduce the amount of recovery.

In June 2012, Tarasov registered a marriage with TV presenter Olga Buzova. The lovers did not hesitate to demonstrate their feelings in public. The ex-participant of the show "Dom-2" posted joint photos on social networks, signing the hashtag #Tarabuziki. Dmitry to this day, too, is not lagging behind in terms of transferring personal to public on the Instagram page.

After 4 years, the family broke up. Fans of each side launched a kind of war on the Web, accusing opponents of all sorts of sins. Among the reasons for the divorce were called Buzova's unwillingness to have children, and the excessive protrusion of everything and everything for show, which is not at all welcome in the sports environment. Say, this explains why the midfielder's performance on the field has decreased - social life takes too long.

Dmitry spoke about the true reasons for the separation only in 2020 in a frank interview with Alena Zhigalova, the host of the "Alena, Damn!" The athlete admitted that one of the reasons for the breakup was indeed Olino's unwillingness to have children and her passion for her career. At the same time, Tarasov emphasized: he does not regret that they never had a child.

In January 2018, Dmitry Tarasov married the fashion model Anastasia Kostenko. In the summer, the couple had a daughter, Milan. A year later, the footballer published pictures of his pregnant wife, confirming that the couple was expected to replenish. In 2020, a second child appeared in the football player's family. On February 5, Anastasia gave birth to another daughter. The athlete does not frustrate that he is not going to stop there and is not at all against another child in the future.

In July 2019, Lokomotiv decided not to renew the contract with the midfielder. The news drew outrageous condemnation of the club by users. At that time, Dmitry was recovering from another injury (he even came to T-killah's wedding on crutches), and it turned out that the “railroad workers” simply got rid of the player in an ugly manner. Lokomotiv refused to pay for the operation that Tarasov made in Italy without agreeing with the management.

The midfielder appealed to higher authorities with a pre-trial application for compensation for expenses, since the injury was received during the match, in case of refusal, he intended to sue. But the Russian Football Union satisfied the player's claims.

Dmitry has no contact with the club, which is 9 years old. Lokomotiv apparently considered it unnecessary to invite the former midfielder even as a spectator to the Super Cup. Alexander Miranchuk got him a ticket to the podium.

Later, sports publications wrote that Loko offered Tarasov to extend the agreement for another 4 months and pay € 400,000. At the same time, as a key player, he received a salary of € 2.5 million. However, Dmitry called the articles on this topic custom-made and utterly false.

It is not known how Tarasov's sports fate will develop in the future, the transfer window was closed in August, there are no new proposals. He himself is still going to enter the field as soon as the rehabilitation is over. According to unconfirmed information, the desire to get the midfielder was expressed by Dynamo, Rubin and Rostov. They say that Dmitry was inclined to the first one.

While the football player enjoys family life.
