Yan Tigorev - "tiger" from Belarus

The fans of the Moscow "Locomotive" Yan Tigorev remembered not only as a legionary from the near abroad, but also as a player who can solve all problems in the center of the field. By the time of getting into the capital club, Ian had already a solid age by football standards. But how did his football career begin and why did he get such a nickname?

The first years of sports career

Although Ian Tigorev was born in the Far East, he made his first football steps thousands of miles from this place. At the age of nine his parents leave for Belarus. It is in this country, in a small town of Zhodino, in the Youth Sports School, Yang makes his first blows on the ball. Playing in this country, he gets into the field of view of breeders from the football club "Dynamo" (Minsk) and from the beginning of 2001 begins the performance for the Minsk "Dynamo-2". A few years later he begins to play for the youth team of Belarus in official matches and for several years will hold for this team and a half dozen matches.

Football specialization of this player

Almost all of his playing time, Ian Tigorev spent on the defensive midfielder, he was so good at keeping under control the center of the field that the coaches of the teams in which this football player played used it mostly in this position. After playing just one season for "Dynamo-2", the next year he is in the main part of the Minsk "Dynamo". Playing for this club, Ian wins with him all medals of different dignity, as well as the cup of Belarus. At the same time the coaches of the national team pay attention to him. And in the subsequent time he plays for the national team and holds more than three dozen matches in it, performing in several qualifying rounds of the national team of Belarus.

Continuation of football career

Having won four seasons in Minsk and having played more than 100 matches, he decides to change not only the football club, but also the country of Yan Tigorev. The football player moves to Ukraine, to the Zaporozhye Metallurgist. In this championship, he spends three seasons and plays about the same number of matches as in Belarus. But in Ukraine he already acts as a legionnaire, nevertheless he has a constant game practice, and not only Russian but also European clubs pay attention to him. In 2011, the player decides to try himself in a more difficult championship and draws up the transition to Russia. Although he begins to play not in the top club, such as "Tom", nevertheless for this short time he was able to prove himself as one of the best supporting midfielders of the country. But it is at this time the player begins to pursue injuries. This year he gets a meniscus injury and retires for half a year from football. But even in such a difficult situation, he noticed the coaches of the Moscow "Locomotive", and the next season he begins as a member of the railway workers.

Completion of football career

Although in "Locomotive" Ian played not so many matches in three seasons, nevertheless it was in this team that he was able to reach the peak of football skill. Since he had to fight for a place in the first team with a famous footballer like Diarra, as well as the captain of "Locomotive" Tarasov. In addition, the status of the legionnaire and the traumatizing footballer made it difficult to fight the world and Russian football stars. But the injuries did not allow the talent of this athlete to be fully revealed, and he returns to his first club, where his football career began. Having played only a few games in two seasons, Jan completed the football career in autumn 2016.

Yan Tigorev: personal life

Obviously, in order to see the full picture of the inner world of a football player, you can not limit yourself to purely sports information. Very important is also personal information, showing what kind of person he really is. Although such information is often sufficiently closed, and athletes (footballers are no exception) restrict access to it. For example, many people are interested in the question of Yan Tigorev's personal life. We must immediately note that the player prefers not to advertise such information. Personal should remain personal, and this is correct. It is known that Jan Tigorev has been married for several years. His wife is a non-public person. It is almost impossible to find information about it.

Quite a lot about the athlete can tell his inner circle. Thus, the interviews and behavior of the wives of celebrities can sometimes give more information than the words of the player himself. It is also very interesting to look at photos of athletes and their wives outside their favorite sport. This helps a little to understand their inner world and to look at the idols with other eyes.

Famous players often are idols for many people (especially boys who want to look like their heroes). And although some players have already completed their careers, in the memory of fans they will remain brave "tigers" from Belarus for a long time.
