Roman Petrenko introduces the players of the Premier League, trying to follow in the footsteps of their fathers - formerly famous football players.
Vladislav Kalitvintsev 25 years old, midfielder Dynamo Who was Dad? The legendary captain of the Kiev superclub of the times of his renaissance of the end of the last century left a significant mark in the history of our football. Multiple champion of the country, leading attacking midfielder of the Ukrainian national team, "bright head" - is not a complete list of epithets, which were regularly awarded to Yuri Kalitvintsev. True, overcoming the 30-year-old milestone, the career of a talented player went downward, but, nevertheless, those years that the football intellectual dedicated Dynamo, undoubtedly, overshadow all the rest.
Who was the son? At first, Kalitvintsev Jr. was quoted at the level of the most promising young talents of the country. Generously gifted technically, with a perfectly delivered blow from both legs, which even his venerable father positions himself more than his own, Vladislav still can not fully express himself. In his native Dynamo there were positive glimpses, and, it seemed, still very little, and here he is the ready player of the basics ... But no. Injuries and the highest qualification of competitors in position (one Andrei Yarmolenko is worth) forced the midfielder to seek happiness in renting. In Chernomorets and Zara, the footballer's affairs developed with varying success, and in the current off-season, Kalitvintsev will again try to gain a foothold in the Kiev club. Let's hope, this time he will succeed.
Kirill Kovalets 24 years old, midfielder Chernomorets Who was Dad? Sergei Kovalets, now coached by Slovak Tatran, as a player showed himself immediately in several teams. Where did not step foot this football player, everywhere he was one of the leaders on the field and beyond, and managed to light up even in Dynamo early 90's. After finishing a very respectful age, Sergei reoriented to coaching work.
Who was the son? In this case, nature did not rest on the heir. Like his famous father, Cyril is a midfielder. Moreover, the functions on the field are quite similar for Kovaltsov, and the manner of playing is not so different. True, while the son to the level of his father still does not hold out. Yes, in Chernomorets Cyril is one of the leaders of the team, often scores, but, unlike Kovalets senior, before the national team has not yet reached. However, everything is exclusively in his hands, and, not even an hour, the midfielder will deserve the desired challenge.
Sergei Kosovsky 19 years old, midfielder Vorskla Who was Pope? One of the galaxy of brilliant Dynamo of the late 90's, Vitaly Kosovsky was in some shade of Andrey Shevchenko, Sergei Rebrov, Valentin Belkevich and Yuri Kalitvintsev, but he did his job on conscience. The tireless left midfielder has repeatedly upset the goalkeepers of the opponents, and the goal against Bavaria in the memorable match at the Olympic (3: 3) is no-no, yes it still occurs before the eyes.
Who was the son? In his incomplete 20 son of the legendary Dynamo while only, in fact, at the very beginning of his football career. In a double Vorskla Sergei has long been considered one of the systemically important performers, but in the elite division held only one fight. Meanwhile, Vasily Sachko regularly turns his attention to talented young people, and there is no doubt that the midfielder will still get his chance for sure.
Nikolai Musolitin 18 years old, midfielder Chernomorets Who was Dad? At the turn of the century, midfielder Vladimir Musolitin shone in the championship of Ukraine and even was summoned to the national team. Technical, with a well-placed impact and high intelligence, this player could not fully realize his potential due to an accident. Accident, which was then a 30-year-old football player, in fact, ruined the future career of Vladimir, before that acted as a member of Chernomorets, CSKA Kiev, Vorskla and Kryvbas ... Who was the son? In Chernomorets, the son of Vladimir Nikolai. In his incomplete 19 this colleague of the father in the role is the player of the main clip of the inhabitants of Odessa, and often appears on the field from the first minutes. The manner of playing the young midfielder in something resembles the father's, and the external similarity of the two Musolithic ones is obvious: especially in the physique. Nikolay is already on the list of candidates for the youth national team of Ukraine, and there and to the heights of the famous parent near.
Vladislav Khomutov 19 years old, midfielder of Olympus Who was Dad? The pupil of Donetsk football Denis Khomutov played for a long time as a member of Shakhtar-2, only in the first team of miners he did not get in any way. Followed by business trips to a number of clubs in the lower Ukrainian leagues, and after the end of the playing career, Denis immediately began his career as a coach. At the moment he is an assistant to Roman Sanzhar in Olympique ... Who was the son?. Where his son Vladislav stands. Last year, this blonde midfielder was halfway into the Belgian championship, but preferred to stay in his own club. True, in the current season, a 19-year-old football player is deprived of the credit of trust from the coaching staff, but at the same time he continues to work hard and wait for his hour. In the conditions of the current thirst of the "Olympians" there is no doubt that Vladislav will still get a chance to prove himself.
Victor Tsygankov 20 years, midfielder Dynamo Who was Dad? Perhaps the father of one of the main hopes of Ukrainian football is not so known to our readers, but he still managed to leave his mark in football. By the way, Vitaly Tsygankov acted on the position ... goalkeeper. But the most interesting thing is that he started his career in Vinnytsia Niva along with ... already mentioned Vitaly Kosovsky. Then there was a trip to Israel and performances for local clubs, but special goals on the Promised Land the undefiled goalkeeper could not reach ... Who was the son? ... But his son is quite successful! Victor for a fairly short period of time grew to the player of the first team Dynamo, and soon began to increasingly come out in the base. Further more. The first goals in the national championship and the Champions League, a challenge to the national team - as we would like it to be just the beginning!. Already, the talented player is compared with the legendary Dynamo Alexei Mikhailichenko, and, notice, not only because of the color of his hair. Now, after the departure of Andrei Yarmolenko to Borussia, Victor is entrusted with leadership duties, but while the 20-year-old winger can not cope with them always. Let's hope that bye.
Marjan Schwed 20 years old, midfielder of the Carpathians Who was Dad? In a fairly late age at football standards debuted in the top flight forward, immediately began to upset the goalkeepers of the elite. His name was Vasily Shved. Alas, he completely did not realize his potential, but the fans of the Carpathians with experience to this day remember how a small striker lit in the attack of the Galicians, and almost immediately became one of the favorites of the local public. To deserve this in Lviv - in truth, it is expensive.
Who was the son? No wonder that in the Carpathians began his football path and the son of Vasily Marian. And the start of a career for Shved-junior turned out - better not think of. Debut goals in the Premier League drew on him the views of scouts of famous European clubs, and the young Lviv moved to the Spanish Seville.
However, full-fledged teammate Eugene Konoplyanki, who spoke for this club at that time, Marian did not. A young football player with a basic line-up was trained, however, he played in the second team of Andalusians. After the Spanish period, Swede decided to return to Ukraine, where he once again approached his native Carpathian coast (more precisely, the mountains). I think that this footballer will definitely say his own word in football.
