Jano Ananidze: career and interesting facts from the life of a young midfielder

Jano Ananidze is widely known for fans of Russian football. Which is not surprising, because he has been playing for a long time in the Premier League. However, his career can be told in more detail.

early years

Jano Ananidze was born in 1992, on October 10, in a city called Kobuleti. It has a mixed origin. His father is Georgian, and his mother is Russian. And the sport, we can say, in Dzhano's blood. His father, Amiran Ananidze, was first a football player, and then became a coach. It was he who instilled in the boy a love of sport. The young midfielder said that his father always told him - once he chose football, he must go to the end. And, by the way, it was Ananidze the elder who coached his son. In one of his interviews, Jano talked about how his father taught him chasing. Amiran put the ball in the net from under the potatoes. And a rope tied her to the neck of her son. And when he hit on it - the ball bounced back.

And the boy studied in the Tbilisi "Dynamo". Then he was noticed. And invited to play in Kiev Dynamo. There he spent a year and a half, after which he was expelled from the club. And for a very interesting reason. The fact that the midfielder was invited to speak for the national team, and the leadership of the Dynamo flatly refused to let the player to the training camp. So, Jano Ananidze showed character and stayed in Georgia without the approval of the club.

Moving to Russia

In 2007 representatives of the Moscow "Spartak" saw how Ananidze played football. Jano liked them. By the way, he was noticed at the match of the Russian national team against the Georgian team. Soon the young man was invited to view the youth squad. At the test match, he scored two goals, which gave him a pass to "Spartacus." The contract was concluded. But it was not so easy to do. The club could not conclude a contract with a minor citizen of another state. The boy's family, hearing about this, without thinking twice, moved to Russia, which immediately solved the problem.

So Jano, since 2007, is part of "Spartacus." And since 2009 he started to play for the main team, leaving the youth team. By the way, the debut was very successful. He took place on July 15, in a match against "Krasnodar", held in the Cup of Russia. At the last, 90th minute of the game, football player Giano Ananidze scored a goal. So in the first team he was in a week.

Further successes

The Georgian midfielder showed excellent abilities, so they were interested in Milan, Juventus, Sevilla and Arsenal. But neither the club, nor Jano did not want to consider any proposals. The midfielder has repeatedly said in an interview that he adores Moscow and dreams of buying an apartment in the capital.

But still one day he had to go to Rostov for a year. The Don club rented a football player for the season, so that on July 3, 2013, Jano joined the team. By the way, the season turned out to be very successful. 8 assists and three goals - the best result of the player for all time performances in the Premier League.

When Ananidze returned to Moscow, he did not get into the base. But on the field went out regularly. And although there were rumors about his transition to another club, he continues to play in "Spartacus." By the way, before the start of the 2016/17 season, the midfielder took himself the 7th number, instead of the 49th. Cyril Kombarov left the club, so the "seven" was released.

Interesting Facts

It is worth noting that Giano is one of the shortest (173 cm) extreme midfielders in the entire RFPL. But this is not a drawback. Jano says that his modest data (as for the midfielder) compensates for by thinking. Playing in the Premier League, you need to think quickly. Otherwise, as Ananidze noted, defenders can tear off their legs. Because to think about the continuation of the attack, Jano begins, not yet received the ball.

And, of course, a few words about your personal life. Jano Ananidze and his wife have known each other for a long time. The football player was 15 years old when they met. He married a midfielder in August 2013, at a very young age, and almost immediately got offspring. In an interview, Jano said that the moment of the birth of his daughter, who was named Mia, is the happiest in his life. Then he played for "Rostov". The final of the Cup of Russia was planned. At seven o'clock in the morning, on the second of May, the player was rang and told that his wife had given birth to a daughter. And a couple of days later he won the Cup of Russia with "Rostov".

But the most exciting and relevant topic is trauma. For all his life, the player has suffered four major health problems. First in the 2010/11 season he had an ankle injury. It took two months to recover, so the player missed 13 matches. Then - a bruise in 2011/12. 50 days of recovery and 7 missed games. Then - a serious injury, a break in the meniscus in 2012/13. I had to miss three games in two months (there was a winter break). But the last injury is the heaviest. In the last season of 2015/16, Jano injured his hip. Restored 111 days. But now, as the footballer assures, everything is fine with him. So it remains only to wish him success and continue to follow the achievements.
