Belenov Alexander: about football, age and national team

Alexander Belenov was born and grew up in the city of Belgorod, where he also studied at the sports school of the local football club Salyut. Thanks to his outstanding anthropometric data, the footballer feels confident in the role of the goalkeeper and for today is one of the strongest goalkeepers of the Russian Premier League.

Belenov Alexander is married. With their spouse Catherine they raise the son of Daniel. According to the player himself, he would like two more children. Idols in the sport - Soviet goalkeeper Rinat Dasaev and German goalkeeper, shining in the last century - Harald Schumacher.

Carier start

For the adult team "Salute" Alexander made his debut in 2004 at the age of eighteen. Two years later, Belenov became interested in the Kazan "Ruby", but to sign the contract with the "burgundy" goalkeeper was not fated - his native club asked for too high a price for his pupil. Thus, Alexander Belenov spent a whole seven years in the Belgorod collective.

New level

At the age of 26, Belenov finally received an offer from the "big" club, which turned out to be the Moscow "Spartak". By the way, drew attention to the goalkeeper in the "people's team" just during a friendly meeting with the "Salute". In that match, the goalkeeper of Belgorod made several important saves and managed to keep his goal at the castle. As a result, for a relatively small amount of money (150 thousand dollars), "meat" signed a player who is in the prime of his life. The contract of Belenov was designed for four years.

According to the goalkeeper himself, the offer of "Spartacus" was quite unexpected, but no less pleasant. In the shirt "red-white" Belenov Alexander debuted in 2010 in a duel against the Grozny "Terek". Despite the fact that the goalkeeper in that match missed twice, his personal guilt in both cases was not. In the post-match interview, he highly appreciated the debutant's game and the head coach of Muscovites, Valery Karpin. Nevertheless, this fight was the only one for Belenov in the T-shirt of Spartak.

"Kuban"

In the summer of 2011, between the "red-white" and "Kuban" was agreed on the transfer of Alexander Belenov. Interested in the transfer was the goalkeeper himself, who did not receive the practice game. After passing a physical examination, the goalkeeper signed the contract, calculated for four seasons. All in all, Krasnodar played about a hundred and fifty matches for Krasnodar.

In the national team

Until 2010 and the transition to "Spartacus" the general public was little aware of a football player named Belenov Alexander. Biography of the goalkeeper developed in such a way that most of the career he has so far played for the club, from which it is difficult to break into the national team. Nevertheless, the goalkeeper was already called to protect the colors of the second Russian team, and due to hard work, I believe that his debut in the first team is not far off. At the upcoming World Championship-2018 Belenov Alexander will compete for a place in the composition with Igor Akinfeev and goalkeeper of "Rostov" Soslan Dzhanayev.

Gossip

At the end of 2016, the press actively discussed the issue that the composition of the St. Petersburg "Zenith" after the new year will be replenished goalkeeper Belenov Alexander. Photo goalkeeper already almost appeared on the official website of "blue-white-blue, but in the end the information has not been confirmed.
