Alexander Filtsov: the history of the career of the Russian goalkeeper

Russian goalkeeper Alexander Filtsov, after going to a football school in the Academy named after Yuri Konoplyov, has established himself as a real fighter who will fight for a place in the starting lineup with all his might. The first stages in the career of a young Russian were games in the Dmitrovgrad club "Wings of Soviets - SOK" and "Togliatti", where the goalkeeper was spotted in the Premier League.

Start in the "Locomotive"

In April 2010, the Moscow "Lokomotiv" drew attention to the goalkeeper "Togliatti", and Alexander Filtsov, a footballer who dreams to speak in the Russian elite, signed an agreement with the "railroad" until 2015. The first season in the capital club the goalkeeper played for the youth structure of the club, and in 2011 began to get into the application of the main team.

The debut in the Premier League against the Russians took place in the summer of the same year, when on the 60th minute of the meeting against "Spartacus" Alexander Filtsov came on the field after the removal of the main goalkeeper Guilherme. His half an hour the goalkeeper played very confidently, not missing even once, but the victory still remained for the red and white.

His first whole match Filtsov spent in September, appearing in the gate in a game against Zenit. In the fight against the Russian champion, the goalkeeper missed two goals, but Muscovites won 4: 2. In the next season, Alexander rarely appeared on the field, because of which in early 2013 he went on a lease to Krasnodar, having only 7 matches for Lokomotiv.

Going to "Krasnodar"

As part of the Krasnodar club, Alexander Filtsov was able to immediately approach the base, having played in all 11 meetings of the rest of the season, in which he missed 12 goals, three times playing "zero". The Russian liked the coaching staff of "Krasnodar", and after the end of the lease "bulls" bought the player for 2 million euros.

The first season as a full-fledged player of the Krasnodar team Alexander had a dignified performance - taking part in 20 meetings, of which 6 goalkeeper finished "dry", due to which he liked several Premier League clubs. Of the possible proposals Filtsov chose "Ruby", signing a contract for 4 years.

Rent in "Arsenal"

Once in the Kazan team, at first Alexander Filtsov trained with the second team of the club, for which he played twice in the championship. However, for the basis of "ruby" for two seasons the goalkeeper did not manage to play that well, and in the winter of 2016 the Russian decided to try his luck in rent by transferring to Tula Arsenal. As part of the Tula an experienced goalkeeper immediately found himself at the decent level after playing the second part of the season - only 5 missed balls in 12 meetings at 7 "dry".

Evaluating the skill of the goalkeeper, in the summer "Arsenal" again invited Alexandra to play in rent, and Filtsov returned to the "gunsmith". However, the return to the Tula team was not possible to the goalkeeper - for the first part of the season he took part only in 3 games, conceding 6 goals in two of them, thereby losing ground to the young Mikhail Levashov. The agreement with "Arsenal" is calculated for another six months, and in the second part of the season Filtsov will try to regain his place at the gate, showing a high level of skill.
