Sergei Ignashevich

Sergey Ignashevich is a Russian footballer, defender. Seven-time winner of the Russian Cup, bronze medalist of the 2008 European Championship. Winner of the UEFA Cup and seven-time winner of the Russian Super Cup. Currently he is a player of the Moscow football club CSKA.

Sergei Ignashevich was born on July 14, 1979 in Moscow. In his own words, from early childhood he wanted to play football, and the ball was his favorite toy. In 1988, Sergei's father saw an advertisement in the newspaper about the recruitment of boys to the Torpedo football school. Nine-year-old Seryozha will forever remember the day when his father took him to see. Of the ten boys who came, two were selected, including him.

The first coach of Sergei Ignashevich was Viktor Shustikov, the legend of Torpedo. A little later, Nikolay Savichev, one of two famous twin footballers who played in Torpedo in the 80s, took over the patronage of the talented teenager. He took Sergei to the Torpedo Children's and Youth Sports School with the prospect of enrolling in the reserve team of the club. However, the club could not withstand the pressure of the "dashing 90s" and collapsed in 1997, and some pupils of its youth sports school were forced to forget about football forever.

Sergei Ignashevich, under the patronage of Savichev, was taken to the youth team of "Spartak", where he acquired the profile of first a winger and then a central defender. The talented guy was noticed by the wealthy football patron Sergei Kochkin, who offered Ignashevich a place in the Patriot team he sponsored. At the heart of this club were the pupils of "Spartak" who were not included in the backup team.

The coach of Sergei Ignashevich was the legendary Yuri Sevidov, who opened the door for the player to the world of big football. Sevidov, who had extensive connections, sent Sergei to view all the existing football clubs. So Sergei got into the adult football team "Spartak-Orekhovo".

After 17 matches of the first round of the Russian championship with FC Spartak-Orekhovo, Sergei, again thanks to Sevidov and Kochkin, was summoned to the Krylia Sovetov Samara to watch. Ignashevich liked their coach Alexander Tarkhanov, and a contract was signed with him.

His career in Samara was difficult. Sergei recalls that the football veteran, who fell out of the base of the team with his arrival, openly provoked a promising footballer in training, tried to play in step with the aim of causing injury. Fortunately, the young organism of 19-year-old Ignashevich withstood that onslaught. According to Sergei, in those years it was customary among young footballers to "throw" money. But his personal money has never distracted from football. The game has always been an end in itself for him. According to Ignashevich's eloquent admission, then he was ready to play even for a penny for the sake of performing at such a level.

During his football career, Sergei Ignashevich changed four professional clubs. The next after Wings of the Soviets for him was the Moscow Lokomotiv, in which Ignashevich became the champion of Russia for the first time.

In mid-2003, Ignashevich agreed to move to the CSKA club, which caused a wave of indignation among the Red-Green fans. At that time, the army team was headed by Artur Jorge, who practically did not allow Sergei Ignashevich to play. Much has changed since Valery Gazzaev's return to the club. Under him, the footballer was entrenched in the base, successfully playing matches in the role of the central (the Berezutsky brothers acted on the flanks) and the right full back. When Sergei Semak left the team, Ignashevich received the captain's armband, and in May 2005 he raised the UEFA Cup above his head.

Sergei Ignashevich has become indispensable for the Russian national team. Despite his age, the veteran of the national team continues to perform well on the defensive.

In the national team, Sergei Ignashevich made his debut in 2002 in a match against the Swedish national team. The very next year, the footballer scored a double against Switzerland, thus proving that he was able not only to play in defense, but also to act in attack.

Unfortunately, due to a knee injury, he missed Euro 2004 in Portugal. Only 4 years later, Sergei Ignashevich returned to the national team and under the leadership of the Dutchman Guus Hiddink became the bronze medalist of the 2008 European Championship.

After the first match at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil against South Korea, which was tied, Sergei Ignashevich stated that the national team should give all the best in the match against Belgium. However, the Russian national team lost this match. The next game in the group was with Algeria and it ended with the score 1: 1. As a result, the team did not leave the group, being left behind the main football tournament.

The performance of the national team was regarded as unsuccessful. The head coach and the players themselves were not satisfied with the result.

At Euro 2016, Russia took second place in its qualifying group. However, in the next stage, the teams failed to qualify from the group in which England, Wales and Slovakia played.

According to Valery Karpin, Sergei Ignashevich was one of the few players in the national team who had no complaints about the results of the tournament.

Sergei was married twice. In his first marriage, he had two sons - Roman and Dmitry. Before they met, his second wife, Natalya, worked as a journalist on the NTV-Plus channel, hosted the Non-Football Stories program. Once she wanted to make a report about Ignashevich, but her colleagues only laughed, saying that he would never agree. But, to everyone's surprise, he nevertheless decided to star in the program. Even then, Natalya noted how simple the football player is in communication, open and kind. She liked Sergei, but at that time he was married. And she did not consider unfree men for relationships.

Soon Natalya found out that Sergei was divorced. The man began to invite her on dates, and very soon they realized that they could no longer live without each other. Almost immediately, the guys decided to live together. For the sake of her husband, Natalia began to devote less time to work, and Sergei agreed to move from his country house to Moscow. They had two children - Sergei Jr. and Timofey.

Natasha does not forbid her sons to communicate with stepbrothers - Sergei's children from his first marriage, especially since they simply adore each other. By the way, Roman is fond of taekwondo and is indifferent to football, unlike his brother Dmitry. Ignashevich sent him to a football school. The youngest son Timofey is also keen on football.

Ignashevich loves to read books, go to the theater. The family travels a lot, as evidenced by photos and videos on Instagram by Sergey and Natalia. The footballer is also involved in charity work. Ignashevich is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Hope for Tomorrow Foundation. He regularly arranges auctions for autographed T-shirts, boots, balls and other football accessories. He also supported the Downside Up Foundation's Sport for Good. Children ”, helping children with Down syndrome.

Of course, many subscribers are worried about how much Sergey Ignashevich gets. In 2017, the Footbnews.ru website published the salaries of CSKA players. Of course, these are not official figures, as clubs try not to expose this information to the public. According to these data, Sergei Ignashevich earned € 2 million for the year at CSKA.

On May 14, it became known about the return of Ignashevich to the Russian national team. The footballer replaced the injured Ruslan Kombolov from the Rubin club.

By the way, Sergey has not played in the national team since 2016. After the European Championship, he decided to interrupt his career in the national team, however, he did not make an official statement about leaving the international arena. At that time, the footballer played 120 games in the national team, while breaking the record of Viktor Onopko.

Valery Gazzaev praised the call to the Russian national team of CSKA defender Sergei Ignashevich. The doctor of the national team Eduard Bezuglov also noted the excellent sports form of the football player. Of course, his return was directly related to the main football event of 2018 - the World Cup.

Ignashevich's contract with CSKA ended on June 30, 2018. The footballer said that he plans to decide on his club future at the end of the home world championship.

The final part of the 2018 World Cup started in Russia in June. Cherchesov's team won Saudi Arabia in the opening match 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 first ball ricocheted into the gates of the Russian Federation from the foot of Sergei Ignashevich, but already towards the end of the first half, the handball from Gerard Piquet led to a penalty, which Artem Dziuba performed coolly. The Spaniards exerted pressure throughout the match, but the defense of the Russian national team was 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 Russians 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. Despite the departure of the Russian national team from the 2018 World Cup, for the first time in a long time, fans and the entire football world recognized Cherchesov's team as the best in recent decades.

After the departure of the Russian national team from the 2018 World Cup, Sergei Ignashevich said that he had decided to end his football career.
