Kirichenko Dmitry - scorer and record holder

Not every player manages to become the best scorer of the national championship. Dmitry Kirichenko managed to do it twice. In addition, he is the third among the best scorers in the history of Russian championships.

The Taganrog gleader

Kirichenko Dmitry was born in Novoaleksandrovsk, Stavropol Territory in January 1977, on the 17th. At a young age he played in "Locomotive" from Mineral Waters. In those years, his goalside instincts had not yet manifested themselves, so with a zero in the graph of goals scored after the first season, he left the club and played in his native Iskra for a year. A year later I again decided to show myself in big football, moving to the club of the second league - "Torpedo" from Taganrog. Seven goals in the first season, but especially thirty-two in the second, allowed the player to go for a raise. The first club of the top division was for the player Rostselmash.

On the way to the records

Kirichenko Dmitry started his Goleadore feats in the eighth round of the 1998 championship, having scored five goals against the opponents during the season. Next year, one more ball.

But the 2000 and 2001 years, the scorer finished with the scores of fourteen and thirteen goals. This served as a guarantee of his future achievements. Already the season of 2002 the player starts in the red-blue uniform of the capital's army club and finishes it on the first line in the list of Russian goleaders, having divided the championship with team-mate Gusev.

This same year brings the first awards - silver medals of the Russian championship. The following year brought the champion title, but the player leaves the first roles in CSKA Moscow, which relies on the legionaries. Five goals in the season of 2003 and 9 in the next year became one of the reasons that Dmitri Kirichenko changed one capital club to another - "Moscow". But at the same time he continued to periodically call in the Russian team, where he got even during his bombardirskih success in "Rostov".

Records Kirichenko

It was in the game for the Russian national team that Dmitry Kirichenko set his record. Footballer in 2004 scored a goal against the national team of Greece at the 67th second, which was the fastest result in the history of European championships.

In total for the Russian national team, Dmitry performed twelve times in the period from 2001 to 2006, scoring four goals. The move to "Moscow" again pushed him to the leadership position in the goal-scoring race, which he finished in 2005 in the title of the best scorer of the Russian championship, now single.

In 2006, only two goals less than the leader's season were scored. The next club Kirichenko was Moscow Region "Saturn", in which he spent four seasons. In this club in 2007, he scored the hundredth goal in the Russian championship, becoming the third player in history to achieve such a result. In the same club two years later reached the mark of 300 matches in the top division. In addition, starting the European season of 2004/05 in the CSKA team, Kirichenko rightfully became the owner of the UEFA Cup, which the Moscow club won in the spring of 2005 without Dmitri as a member.

At the age of 34, he returned to the city where his career in the top league began, to the club "Rostov". For two years, not particularly often went on the field, but helped the team avoid flying from the Premier League, scoring in the transitional matches. With Rostov connected another record, which was installed Kirichenko Dmitry. His series of penalty shootouts began exactly in the team of this city in 2000 and ended ten years later, an unbeaten penalty in the gate of the team from the city on the Don. In total, the series has twenty-two scoring strokes.

Instead of an afterword

After two years in Rostov Kirichenko Dmitry Sergeevich played one more season for Mordovia. At the same time (in 2013) he entered the Higher School of Trainers, which he graduated in 2014, while announcing the completion of an active football career. Since September of the same year, he was enrolled in the coaching staff of Rostov, where he works at the moment.

In the Russian championships Dmitri scored 129 goals, which is the third indicator in history. In total for the career this football player has hammered 160 goals, that on one goal exceeds a parameter of Grigory Fedotov in which honor the club of бомбардиров is named.
