Fedor Smolov

Fedor Smolov is one of the most popular Russian footballers. Twice the best scorer of Russia, for 4 seasons in a row was included in the list of 33 brightest players of the national championship, an intellectual (five minutes less a candidate of sciences in sociology) and a real fashionista with impeccable English. The press does not ignore the athlete's personal life, because next to him are the first beauties.

It was only after the home world championship that fame turned to Fedor the other side. Smolov was made the main culprit for the failure of the national team, they staged a real persecution on the Web, forcing him to close comments on Instagram. The photo in which he sits on the field, and tears in his eyes, flew over all publications. Yes, at the World Cup, the footballer performed below his own expectations and destroyed the hopes of the fans, but the greats also had failures.

Fyodor Mikhailovich Smolov was born in Saratov on February 9, 1990. The future footballer grew up on the outskirts of this city. The area where the boy lived was considered criminal. Such a circumstance forced the parents to reflect on the ways and methods of protecting their son from the negative influence of the street. At the age of 7, his father took Fyodor to the Sokol football section.

By the way, the boy was not rooting for a club from his hometown. Fyodor's sympathies were on the side of the capital's Lokomotiv, because the boy dreamed of being a part of the railway workers. At the age of 14, the young footballer even came to the club to watch. Soon, Smolov's father began to insist that his son "tie up" with football. Then Fedor asked his father to allow him to go through the last viewing, stating that if nothing works out, he will leave the sport.

The Moscow Region "Master-Saturn" from Yegoryevsk gladly accepted a promising young man into the club's academy, and Fedor continued to develop in his favorite sport.

At the age of 16, Fedor Smolov concludes his first professional contract with Dynamo Moscow. A year later, the forward made his debut in the Premier League against Luch-Energia from Vladivostok, and the next year he scored the first official goal against the Samara club Krylya Sovetov.

In 2010, the Dynamo management decided that Smolov needed constant playing practice. The player was loaned to the Dutch Feyenoord, Makhachkala Anji and Yekaterinburg Ural. As the footballer himself admits, before his business trip to the Netherlands, he had not yet plunged into football 100 percent, wasting time on extraneous hobbies. And the first lease made it possible to reconsider priorities and become a professional.

In each of these clubs Smolov was in good standing, and Ural fans twice called the forward the best player in the team. With Anji, the athlete repeated his achievement in the championship - he won bronze medals, as before with Dynamo. In the summer of 2015, Fedor's lease at the Yekaterinburg club expired, as well as his contract with Dynamo Moscow. Smolov and the leadership of the Moscow team decided not to sign a new agreement.

As a free agent, Smolov moved to Krasnodar. The forward quickly became a key player in the club, and a breakthrough in sports biography came. The footballer began to regularly score goals in the home championship and in European competitions. Thanks to Fedor, Krasnodar inflicted the first defeat of the season against the future champion - CSKA Moscow. Also on account of the player is a hat-trick in the match with Krylya Sovetov and poker (4 goals per match) against Ural, his former team. The videos of these goals are still being watched by the fans.

Experts associate Smolov's similar performance with the physical data (Fedor's height is 187 cm, weight - 80 kg) of the football player. The striker has good speed, but is best able to choose the correct position on the field when scoring chances.

In Russia, except for Smolov, only one footballer scored 3 goals per game in the 2015/2016 season - Spartak Gogniev. This result allowed the young footballer to become the top scorer of the Russian championship for the first time in his career. The fans hoped that the striker could help the national team at the 2016 European Championship in France, but this did not happen.

In the 2016/2017 season, the forward was ahead of the competition, taking 1st place among the best goalscorers in the championship. Smolov has scored 18 goals in the tournament.

The striker made no secret that he would like to participate in a strong European championship. It is known that negotiations on the acquisition of the Russian player were conducted with Borussia Dortmund, but the discussion of the transfer failed.

The footballer himself said that he was very upset with the result of the negotiations.

According to rumors, the St. Petersburg "Zenith" was ready to give Alexander Kokorin or Artem Dziuba in exchange for the "city dweller". However, later the assumptions were denied by the management of the "blue-white-blue". The most likely was the transition to Moscow "Spartak", but Fedor doubted this - he quoted the words of the owner that the club would not let him go.

It was rumored that the Chinese clubs came to the management of Krasnodar and offered the footballer a salary of € 10 million per season. According to Smolov, he was not interested in such a proposal, since with this option the probability of getting to Europe in the future is reduced to almost zero.

Once Fedor admitted in an interview that he plays football not for money, but because he cannot imagine life without a game. Refusing an offer from China, Smolov missed a chance to earn a large sum of funds, but won the support of fans. According to Sports.ru, Smolov's salary for the season is € 2.5 million per year. Considering the striker's performance, such an income against the background of the earnings of the other players who participate in the Russian football Premier League is considered low.

The final part of the 2018 World Cup started in Russia in June. Smolov was considered as the main striker of the Russian national team. Cherchesov's team won the opening match against Saudi Arabia with a score of 5: 0, followed by a victory over Egypt (3: 1). Despite the loss to Uruguay, the Russians secured access to the 1/8 finals, which has not happened for many years.

The opponents in 1/8 of Russia got the titled ones - the Spanish national team. The Spaniards exerted pressure throughout the match, but the defense of the Russian national team stood to death. The Russia-Spain match ended with a series of post-match penalties, in which Igor Akinfeev's skill was an order of magnitude higher than David De Gea.

For the first time in its history, Russia reached the quarter finals of the World Cup. The fans of the Russians were looking forward to the game with the Croats. The match differed from the previous one by its dynamics, many dangerous moments and beautiful goals. Denis Cheryshev brought the team forward with a nine-ball kick, the Croats responded with two goals, and only a header by Mario Fernandez brought the Russians to the penalty shoot-outs, where Croatia was stronger. Unfortunately, the Croatian goalkeeper deflected the first blow, which was entrusted to Smolov.

Fedor tried to justify himself to the fans for the unsuccessful game, but only made them more angry. In response, the footballer received a flurry of angry, and sometimes offensive and obscene comments. Public figures such as Ksenia Sobchak, Yuri Dud and Danila Kozlovsky spoke in defense of the player.

Smolov took the opportunity to once again apologize to the country in the show "Beware, Sobchak!" for an unsuccessful penalty and admitted that the manner of execution of that blow was caused not by a desire to show off, but by uncertainty in their own strengths and a feverish search for an answer to the question - where to beat.

In 2012, at the birthday party of footballer Yuri Zhirkov, Fyodor Smolov met TV presenter and model Victoria Lopyreva. The girl in 2003 won the title "Miss Russia". Victoria is 7 years older than the young man, but this did not prevent the emergence of a serious romantic relationship. Six months later, the man made an offer to the chosen one. In December 2013, Smolov and Lopyreva got married in the Maldives.

Fedor and Victoria lived together for 2 years, after which they parted. Since, according to Russian law, they were not considered officially married, a divorce procedure was not needed.

The press reported that the football player had a relationship with a young fashion model named Miranda Shelia, but in July 2016, the couple stopped communicating. Interestingly, Miranda is often compared to Irina Shayk, another spectacular model who was the lover of football player Cristiano Ronaldo.

In the fall of 2016, information appeared in the Russian press that Fyodor Smolov was meeting with the winner of the Miss Russia 2015 beauty pageant, Sofia Nikitchuk. Later, the model herself confirmed an affair with a Russian footballer.

In the winter of 2017, the media reported about the athlete's new romance. In the Caribbean, Fedor met Yulia Levchenko, a financier by education and a model by occupation.

In addition, in her native Rostov, the girl served as director of the publishing house of a glossy magazine. But if Smolov was hatching the dream of a full-fledged family with children, then this time it again failed. Less than a year later, the couple broke up. The footballer, as before, did not comment on anything, and Yulia published a post on social networks on the topic that everything in life tends to end.

Ksenia Sobchak included the enviable bachelor, along with Dmitry Nagiyev and Roman Abramovich, in the list of potential suitors for Olga Buzova. The TV presenter told the singer about this, inviting her to become the heroine of the next issue of the show "Beware, Sobchak!" Olga's choice fell on a football player. In a telephone conversation, she tried to invite Fyodor out on a date, to which he replied that he had a girlfriend. To the premiere of the film "To Paris!" in May 2019, the player came accompanied by a pretty brunette.

Fedor Smolov likes tattoos. The athlete got his first tattoo at the age of 17, and today he will not even give their exact number, since different images merge into a single whole, forming a continuous pattern. Also, the footballer is a fan of reading. The Russian striker likes crime detectives in the style of Mario Puzo and Arturo Perez-Reverte, as well as works by Fyodor Dostoevsky and Mikhail Bulgakov.

Another well-known passion of Smolov is expensive cars. In 2017, he acquired for 12 million rubles. Porsche 911 Turbo S. On the roads of Krasnodar, the footballer was seen driving a Mercedes S63 AMG and Lamborghini Aventador. Only 4000 copies of the latest cars were produced, among the owners are completely celebrities, for example, Floyd Mayweather and Kanye West, and the cost exceeds 35 million rubles. But Fedor himself categorically denied that the exclusive car was his property.

At the end of the World Cup, Fedor Smolov moved to Lokomotiv Moscow. To facilitate the procedure for signing a new agreement, the footballer, at the request of Krasnodar, refused a bonus of 10% of the transfer amount of € 9 million, which the club was obliged to pay under the contract, and in general, he behaved in the negotiations, according to the president of the railroad workers, very constructive.

The motivation for moving to Moscow was the fact that Loko could play in the Champions League. Accordingly, for Fedor, who dreams of playing in Europe, chances are great to meet with local teams. Those who want to buy the forward will have to pay € 17 million.
