Alexander Gladky: interesting about football and not only

Alexander Gladky is not yet thirty, and he managed to play almost for all the clubs from the top of the table of the Ukrainian Premier League. To some extent this is a phenomenon, because between many clubs historically there are uneasy relations, therefore it is sometimes difficult to decide on a transition.

Star Trek

Gladky Alexander - footballer, whose life and sporting path began in Kharkov. After passing a strong school of local Metalist, the striker loudly declared himself in the ranks of Arsenal and FC Kharkiv. The merits of the forward did not go unnoticed and, having barely reached the age of twenty, Alexander changed the debutant of the Premier League to one of the "whales" of the championship - Shakhtar Donetsk.

The then coach of the miners, Mircea Lucescu, was not shy about giving the guy advances. Saying, athletic, fast, reads the game well, has the scent of the scorer. And Alexander Gladky very quickly justified the confidence, starting to score almost in every match. The peak of his three-year stay in the Donetsk team can be called matches against the Catalan "Barcelona". Then the young striker really enchanted and helped the team to win an important victory in the Champions League, and after - and win in the last UEFA Cup.

Not everything is so smooth

Over the years, Mr. Lucescu at the club began to trust more and more of the legionnaires. Even the relatively tight limit on foreign players did not help the Ukrainian striker, and after Shakhtar moved to a one-forward scheme, Alexander Gladky rarely got into the starting lineup. It is not surprising that the football player quickly enough agreed to less attractive conditions and changed the residence permit to Dnepropetrovsk.

By the time Gladky managed to gain a foothold in the National team of Ukraine, so the striker of this class was a real godsend for Bessonov's team. However, it quickly became clear that the stellar hour of the striker had passed, and two seasons later rented to the Carpathians in Lviv. About the once formidable striker named Alexander Gladky forgotten as quickly as he rushed into the Ukrainian football.

Again on horseback

In Lviv, the level of the attacker's game again went up. For three seasons in all tournaments, he registered 19 times at the gate of the opponent (half of them are in the last draw). Considering that Lviv team did not fight for high positions, this is a very good result. Gladkogo again drew attention to the Donetsk "Shakhtar", who had just parted with the star brazilian Eduardo and experienced a bad time in the attack. Short-lived negotiations were held and Gladky Alexander again appeared on the official resource of miners under number 21. The football player started playing with new strength and again impressed during the first season. Even though Lucescu still trusted the Brazilians more in the attack, Gladky scored eleven times in 19 games at the gate of the opponents.

In a new role

Era Lucescu in Shakhtar was coming to an end, and it became clear that Alexander Gladky, who rarely appears on the field in the 2015-2016 season, will again change his football registration in the summer. His contract also expired, so to move to a new club, the striker could be in the status of a free agent, that is, free. What was the surprise of the public, when the club became the principal opponent of the miners - Kiev Dynamo. Meanwhile, the forward justifies the fears of skeptics, because he rarely appears on the field and has not scored in official matches yet. However, apparently, the head coach of the team Sergei Rebrov continues to trust the player, which means everything is in his hands.
