Talented midfielder Alexander Lomakin

Alexander Lomakin is a young Russian football player who is currently playing for the Yenisei club. He was just 21 years old, so he still has a whole professional career ahead of him. Alexander Lomakin plays in the position of the central midfielder, but sometimes he can be put on the position of an attacking midfielder or even a winger.

Carier start

Alexander Lomakin was born on February 14, 1995 in Moscow, where he started playing football in the local SDYUSSHOR "Smena". Later he was selected to the youth academy of Moscow's Lokomotiv, where he continued to play sports and train to reach a higher level. However, it was with the "Locomotive" the player did not have anything in the end. In 2013, when he was eighteen years old, he was awarded a professional contract, but he never appeared on the field. Alexander Lomakin spent another year at the club, but he did not wait for the opportunity to make his debut for the main team. That is why in 2014 he was sold to the Krasnoyarsk "Yenisei".

Transition to "Yenisei" and renting in "Leiria"

In the first season in the new club the player, however, did not make much progress. He came on the field only three times, but it was clear that Alexander Lomakin is a football player with quite big prospects. Therefore, in the summer of 2015 he was sent for half a year to rent in the Portuguese club Leiria. For six months he came on the field eight times, scoring one goal, but even this was enough to get the experience so necessary at such an early age. Therefore, since the winter of 2016, when Lomakin returned to FC Yenisei, he immediately began to play in the main part of the club. For the rest of the season he went on the field 13 times and scored one goal. In the current season, Lomakin's position has only strengthened: he spent 21 matches for the club, scoring seven goals and giving three assists. Much thanks to the outstanding performances of Lomakin, "Yenisei" is now in the top four clubs of the First Division and has good chances to get into the Premier League next season. Gradually the midfielder becomes an important part of the team and, quite possibly, in the future will be able to return to the Premier League, maybe as part of the "Yenisei", and maybe it will be acquired by any other club already performing in the Higher Division.

National team appearances

As for the Russian team, so far Lomakin has not received a call. In 2010, he played for the first time for the youth team under the age of 15 years, in the same year he made his debut for the older age category - up to 16 years. It was there he spent 14 matches, scoring as many as nine goals. But in the summer of 2011 the pupil of "Lokomotiv" was summoned to the national team till the age of 17, where he played 12 matches and scored six goals. In the team, he played both on the position of the attacking midfielder, and on the position of the opornik. Now Lomakin comes to stability, he becomes a key player of his club, so that over time he can rise to new heights and get a long-awaited invitation to the adult team. So far, he has only to work on himself and make every effort to demonstrate an outstanding result in the "Yenisei".
