Oleg Shatov

Oleg Shatov is a midfielder from the small provincial Nizhniy Tagil, who has achieved a successful career in big football with hard work and perseverance. Despite his fame, the athlete still remains a sympathetic, open person with a broad soul and a kind heart.

Oleg Shatov was born in the Ural town of Nizhny Tagil, Sverdlovsk region on July 29, 1990. The boy's parents are non-public people and rarely meet with journalists. According to Oleg's father, no one was particularly interested in football in the family, but from childhood his son loved to chase the ball with the courtyard boys. At the age of seven, the boy took his mother by the hand and led him to record him for football.

The first coach was Sergey Ovechkin, a mentor of the Rodnichok football school. The mentor recalls that the young athlete became the youngest in the group, but remained hardworking and persistent. There were three workouts a day for different age groups, and little Shatov stayed for all three. The boy had his own agreement with his father. Sports should not interfere with learning. In the morning Oleg went to lessons, then did his homework and only in the evening went to training.

When the boy turned 13, the player was noticed by the president of the Ural football club and the head of the VIZ mini-football club Grigory Ivanov. The coach personally invited the young football talent to Yekaterinburg. Since there were no development prospects for a football player in his hometown, the parents agreed to the proposal. Shatov Sr. admits that it was exciting to let his son go into an independent life so early, but the son showed independence and responsibility.

The coach took care of the young pupil, rented an apartment and hired a woman to look after the boy and take care of him. Shatov also changed the school. The football player's class teacher, a math teacher, shared in an interview that at first Oleg studied very well, the student was even transferred to a specialized polytechnic class. And then football began to take away all the time, it was sorely lacking for school and lessons.

Oleg's classmates recall that they rarely saw a student in class. But the footballer was distinguished by his determination. Shatov knew what he wanted to achieve in life, and from childhood connected his biography only with football.

Arriving in Yekaterinburg, little Oleg at first played mini-football and on a large football field. When the time came to decide on the sport, the boy chose big football. In 2007 the young man became a player of FC Ural.

A fast, dexterous footballer of short stature - 173 cm and a weight of 73 kg, Oleg took the position of a midfielder and began to play effectively in the first matches for the honor of the club. Colleagues and coaches noted the peculiarities associated with the experience in mini-football - the speed of reaction and the ability to act competently at short distances.

The midfielder played 127 matches for the Ural Bumblebees and scored 16 goals against his opponents. Having gone to training camp with CSKA Moscow in January 2012, the midfielder eventually signed a contract with Anji Makhachkala. Oleg's first goal in the Premier League hit Zenit in August 2012.

On August 14, 2013, the midfielder changes the club to Zenit St. Petersburg. The debut on the field for the "white-blue" took place on the field in the match against the capital "Dynamo". The next couple of seasons were successful for the athlete. In 2014, he was recognized as the best player of matches and months according to the results of a vote of the club's fans.

Together with the St. Petersburg club, he became the champion of Russia in the 2014-2015 season. The club took the Russian Cup in the 2015-2016 season, as well as the Russian Super Cup in 2015 and 2016. Also in 2013, he made his debut in the Russian national team in a friendly match against Iceland, scoring a goal against the opponents.

For a successful game on the field, a football player receives an appropriate reward. Clubs do not seek to advertise the players' salaries, but, according to some information from sports publications that analyzed open information, Shatov's annual earnings at Zenit are € 2.5 million.

By the way, the coach Roberto Mancini has somewhat changed the position of the athlete on the field with Zenit. As the midfielder admitted, the preferred location for him is the center, but the blue-white mentor chose places on the flanks for Oleg.

Perhaps this choice was the reason for not the most productive game in the 2016/2017 season. The club's management remained dissatisfied with Shatov's statistics of goals and assists. In the end, the athlete ended up outside the list of the main players among Zenit-2 players.

Oleg tries not to dwell on the details of his personal life, however, like his beautiful wife Victoria. Joint photos, interviews of relatives and friends of the couple allow us to conclude that the lovers began dating back in Nizhny Tagil. The girl followed her future husband.

Victoria is very modest and charming. The wife gave her beloved two young sons, the youngest of whom was born in 2016. Victoria is engaged in charity and patronage. Together with her friend Ekaterina Smolnikova (wife of Igor Smolnikov - Shatov's colleagues at Zenit), she organized the Play & Help charity organization. Oleg often appears on the organization's Instagram page, who supports his spouse in his endeavors.

By the way, Oleg himself is also distinguished by the breadth and generosity of his soul. In 2016, with funds donated by the midfielder, in the homeland of a football player for 15 million rubles. a football field was built for young athletes.

But in social networks you rarely meet a young man. The athlete's official page on VKontakte is run by fans. The reason for this is Oleg's busy schedule. He also interferes with being at home more often, with parents who still prefer to stay in Nizhny Tagil. Oleg's father is sympathetic to the rare visits of a star son and notes that they themselves visit a young family.

At the beginning of 2018, Zenit gave the midfielder on loan to an opponent - Krasnodar football club. Oleg, realizing that on the eve of the World Cup he needed playing practice, agreed to the transition. Of course, the situation of misunderstanding with the coach Mancini, sending him to Zenit-2 did not cause pleasant emotions in the athlete.

According to the contract signed by the clubs, the midfielder could enter the field against Zenit only if he paid 10 million rubles. per match. On April 7, 2018, Oleg appeared in the Krasnodar line-up against the blue and white. It remains unknown who paid the contractual amount. The player himself said that he does not play against Zenit, but for Krasnodar.

As a result, Krasnodar won with a score of 2: 1, Shatov became the author of one of the goals. However, for him the match turned out to be incredibly emotionally intense. The goal scored and the resulting injury caused the replacement of the midfielder on the field. Once on the bench, the young man, unable to cope with the storm of emotions, dropped a mean man's tear.

2014/2015 - Champion of Russia 2015/16 - Winner of the Russian Cup 2015, 2016 - Winner of the Super Cup of Russia 2014/2015, 2015/2016 - in the lists of 33 best football players of the Russian championship
