Russian midfielder Gaydukov Alexander

Gaidukov Alexander is a Russian football player, who is currently playing for clubs of semi-professional divisions. He recently turned 38 years old, so he is close to completing a career, which he once completed. Gaidukov Alexander plays in the position of the central midfielder. He has a rather low growth - only 166 centimeters, so many positions, such as goalkeeper or central defender, for him were initially inaccessible. However, he found himself in the center of the field, where he acts quite well both in the defensive and in the attacking plan.

Carier start

Gaidukov Alexander was born on January 25, 1979 in Volzhsky, where he grew up. It was in his native city that he began studying at a sports school, and then moved to the football academy of the Volgograd Rotor. Until 1996, he played for youth compositions of various age categories, and since 1996 started playing for the club's double. In his debut season, the 17-year-old played 29 games, scoring his first goal. For the next four years, Gaidukov Alexander remained a reserve player - for the first time in the main team he was called only in 1999, when he was already twenty years old. Then he debuted in one match, in the next season he played three matches, and since 2001 has already been included in the club's application for the Russian Championship. For his native "Rotor" Gaidukov spoke for four years - during this time he played 68 more matches, and without noticing a single goal. However, in 2004 the contract of the football player with the club expired, so Alexander had to look for a new job, and at such a high level he had never played.

Going to Mordovia

Leaving FC "Rotor", Gaidukov joined the "Mordovia", acting at that time in the third strongest division of the country. There he spent four years, 126 times appeared on the field in the team's shirt, scored six goals, and in 2006 helped his team to enter the second division. True, the "Mordovia" could not resist there and after a season returned to the third division, but the achievement was still recorded. In 2008, Gaidukov Alexander Aleksandrovich began to receive much less gaming practice, so he decided not to renew the contract with the club, "Mordovia" was absolutely not against it. The parties' cooperation came to an end, it was quite fruitful, especially taking into account the club's entrance to the higher league in 2007.

Short term in "Volgograd"

In 2009, when the player's contract expired, he returned to his native land, signing a contract with Volgograd. There he spent only one year, but this year was probably the most successful in his career. He appeared on the field 35 times, scored six goals and became one of the most useful players in the modest club. The team, which did not show particularly impressive results, was able to finish the season in its league in third place, which gave it the right to fight for entering the second league. It was thanks to this that Gaidukov's long-standing dream came true - he was able to return to FC Rotor. His performances in Volgograd were noticed by other teams, but Alexander was aiming to reunite with the team that brought him up and in which he spent all his youth, went into becoming as a player. Unfortunately, the return was overshadowed by the fact that literally six months later the club was suspended from professional activities.

Return to Rotor

At the beginning of the 2010 season the Volgograd Rotor played in the second most powerful league in Russia, and in the winter transfer window the club grew stronger with its pupil, who had a great season in Volgograd. But Gaidukov managed to play only 13 games and score one goal, when there was a scandal, because of which the club was suspended from the games, and his accounts were seized. Naturally, this did not allow the football player to continue performances and get the most out of his beautiful form.

Further career

After an unpleasant situation with "Rotor" Gaidukov could not return to the big sport - first in 2011 he played for "Energy" from Volzhsky, then in the lower league spent the season in "Harvest", after which he announced the completion of his professional career at the age of 33 years . However, in 2015 his native club was saved - he was reorganized into a new team, named "Rotor-Volgograd". Therefore, the 36-year-old football player agreed to resume his career and spend the season in a new team. He appeared on the field 21 times and at the same time noted one more goal. Initially, the footballer planned only to play one year, after which to go back to rest. But in 2016 he felt a craving for football again, so I decided to play a little more, this time in the club "BIO" from the city of Svetly Yar. For this club, he acts and to this day. Naturally, one can not say that these are full-fledged performances at the highest level, since he plays in the regional division with semi-professional clubs, but the fact remains. Alexander Gaydukov in his 38 years continues to go to the football field in the club "BIO".
