Shatov biography of a football player

Born: July 29. Growth: see football, he was engaged in local clubs “Rudnik” and “Uralets”, at the age of 16 he moved to Yekaterinburg. In his first season, Oleg spent 8 matches, scored 2 goals, and since the year he became a player in the foundation of the Ural Club. The midfielder was distinguished by technology and speed, primarily decision -making. Oleg Shatov in the Urals himself considers these qualities to be a consequence of a mini-football, where players have much less time and spaces.

And the Urals turned out to be a good school of big football - the club, although he did not claim to go to the elite, but constantly finished in the upper part of the standings, and in the year reached the final of the Russian Cup. Gradually, Shatov became the leader of the team and attracted the attention of RPL clubs. In January of the year, the midfielder was viewed in CSKA, but they did not sign a contract with him.

Then Shatov went to Makhachkala. A year later, the club achieved the highest success in its history, taking the "bronze" of the Russian championship. Anji midfielder Andrei Shatov was already a full -fledged player of the foundation, he played in the position of a left, less often attacking central midfielder, played 41 matches, scored 5 goals. However, on the eve of the season, the team development vector has changed.

The owner of Anji Suleiman Kerimov sharply reduced financing, the sale of players began.

Oleg had already made it debuted for the Russian national team, young age and the presence of a Russian passport. Therefore, it is not surprising that Shatov was at Zenit. The competition here was much higher than in Anji, but Shatov was not lost 30 matches, 5 goals. He especially blossomed with the advent of Andre-Villash Boash March of the year with the advent of the coaching bridge.

The Portuguese in the attack most often used a trio: Shatov on the left, Hulk on the right, Solomon Rondon in the center on the tip, it was replaced by Artyom Dziuba. Shatov at Zenit Oleg issued two excellent seasons, during which Zenit won the championship, the country's cup and super cup. But then Shatov sharply handed over, and there is no unequivocal reason for this.

Personally, I see a certain aggregate. As luck would have it, during the season, Shatov received several injuries, and since the competition in the team was at the level, Lucescu relied on other players. And then the team was headed by Roberto Mancini, who brought a whole group of Argentine midfielders, and Shatov finally turned into a rotation player.
