The name of Denis Cheryshev is known to all football fans, if only because Denis is the best player in the first match of the 2018 World Cup, who scored 2 goals against the Saudi Arabian national team at the opening of the championship. He has a very interesting biography, and life has not always presented only pleasant surprises, but today he is considered one of the promising players with a brilliant football future. He has already played in such teams as Valencia, Villarreal, Sevilla and Real Madrid, which speaks of great experience.
Footballer, footballer's son
The fate of little Denis was largely predetermined by the fact that his father is a football legend Dmitry Cheryshev, who once played for the Moscow Dynamo. Denis was born on December 26, 1990, and they say that he absorbed the love of football from the cradle.
Denis's family moved to Spain when he was 5 years old, and this was a real test: ignorance of the language, culture greatly interfered with the rapprochement with peers. However, the energetic boy, after a few months, began to speak Spanish absolutely fluently.
Later Denis began to study at the sports school "Sporting", where his father just played. And Cheryshev Jr. was soon noticed in Real Madrid, and they began to talk that he was a promising footballer in the future. And as it turned out, the forecast did not disappoint.
First sports achievements
As soon as Denis Cheryshev joined the youth squad of Real Madrid, he began to show good results, for one of the games he was even awarded the title of "Best sniper of the tournament". In addition, he is the first Russian footballer to get into this team and score a goal.
The next stage of Denis's career is playing for Real Madrid Castilla, where over two seasons he showed excellent results and further honed his skills. He always noted that Cristiano Ronaldo taught him to score "unexpected" goals.
Then there were the teams Sevilla, Villarreal, Valencia. And in any team, Denis found a common language with the players and the coach, showing good discipline, composure and dedication.
In addition, he also studied football teaching, and in the evenings he worked with children - he taught them to play and love football as he loves him.
In the Russian national team
Many are surprised that Denis Cheryshev became a member of the Russian national team, and he says that he has always been and remains a Russian - a Russian guy from Nizhny Novgorod. Despite the fact that since 2016 Denis has signed a contract with Villarreale, he showed an excellent result at the 2018 World Cup. And despite all the setbacks and injuries, he remains a very promising player. All thanks to the true sporting character.
Under the eyes of specialists
Each footballer is assessed according to several parameters, and each has its own distinctive features. Experts recognize the strengths of Dmitry Cheryshev:
- courage;
- endurance;
- speed;
- excellent technique.
Confusion is ranked among the weaknesses, but it is noted at the same time that sometimes it can even be a plus.
Personal life
A promising footballer is also a promising life partner for any girl. A young charming guy is probably not deprived of the attention of the fair half, but nothing is known about Dmitry's life partner. No one even knows if he has it. We can only wish him the same luck with the choice of the second half, as his excellent performance on the football field. And we will follow his sporting success.
