Coaches note in Alexey impeccable discipline, speed and endurance.
Childhood and youth
Football player Alexey Kozlov was born in Petrozavodsk on May 25, 1986. The player spent his early childhood in Karelia. He made his first steps towards a football career, having entered the school of the Chelny team "Zarya". Gennady Kadylsky became his mentor. Studying in ninth grade, the guy signed his first contract with Nizhnekamsk "Neftekhimik".
The guy decided to continue his studies in Germany in the Hamburg junior team. At that time he was 16 years old. This is a rather difficult period in the life of a young man. It was difficult to adapt to new requirements and conditions, to a foreign language.
In addition, it was difficult to call a promising game in Hamburg, but the footballer had to play in the lower league in Germany, gaining the necessary experience.
The young footballer managed to prove himself only in the "Bergedorf 85". He played in 11 matches, scoring 4 goals. German coach Berndt Holirbach drew attention to Aleksey Kozlov and invited him to Lubeck, where the player continued his career. This team soon moved to the third league, and in order to play at a club of this level, a work visa was required. Kozlov did not have it, so after a while he returned to Russia.
Football
In 2007, Alexey Kozlov added to the number of players in the Kamaz Club of the First Division of Russia. During the year in this team, he took part in all the main games of the season. The next year became much more fruitful and eventful for him - Kozlov played 14 matches for the club and scored 1 goal. At the end of the season, the Kamaz team took third place in the First Division.
Already in 2009, the young footballer became an indispensable player in the first team, played 32 matches and played in the Russian Cup. The promising player has attracted the attention of many coaches. Alexey Kozlov possessed good speed, endurance and perseverance, which allowed him to be active on the field for a long time, to attack and work out in defense. These qualities attracted the attention of the agents of the Samara "Wings of the Soviets". A contract was signed with the footballer, but the transition did not take place.
Nevertheless, a successful game at Kamaz allowed Kozlov in 2010 to sign a three-year contract with Kuban. The main task facing the Krasnodar team was getting into the Premier League. The young footballer quickly joined the new team and helped him become the winners of the tournament. Alexey Kozlov played 91 matches for the Krasnodar club.
An active increase in professional skills took place in the 2012/2013 season, when, together with other players, they took fifth place in the Russian championship, and there was a chance to participate in the Europa League.
The transition to Dynamo took a long time, all because of the price set by Krasnodar residents. They wanted to get € 12 million for him. This amount seemed overstated to the Dynamo management, so they were waiting for the most opportune moment. And it came when “Kuban” had some financial difficulties, which forced them to lower the price.
At that time, Dynamo's coach was Dan Petrescu, with whom Kozlov had already worked in Kuban. At one time it was Petrescu who invited him to Kuban. The footballer himself admits that this is a special coach for him, he, like no one else, influenced his life. Alexey's debut for the Moscow club took place on March 9, 2014 in the match against CSKA, which, by the way, ended with the victory of the "white-blue" (4: 2).
The invitation from the Russian national team was received on May 24, 2013, on the eve of the match with the Portuguese national team. In this game, he showed himself with better side, which caused considerable sympathy for the coaching staff headed by. In the four final games of the 2014 World Cup qualifying round, Kozlov was constantly on the field.
Of course, the main event in Aleksey Kozlov's career is his participation in the 2014 World Cup. For a football player, this is a unique chance to show all his fighting qualities, professional skills and abilities that have been developed over the years. But for the Russian national team, this championship ended unsuccessfully. The team finished their performances after the group stage with only two points, which was the worst result for the Russians in the world championships.
At the end of the 2014/2015 season, Dynamo took fourth place in the Russian championship. This served as the basis for a petition to confer the titles of masters of sports on some of the footballers. Alexey Kozlov was among them.
In 2016, Dynamo for the first time in its history took off from the top division of the national championship. In an interview, the footballer said that it was a big blow for him and for the whole team. Then many leaders left Dynamo. But as Kozlov admits, he did not even think about leaving. On the contrary, I wanted to stay and rehabilitate myself in front of the fans.
Which is exactly what happened. As part of the "blue-white" Alexey Kozlov became the champion of the FNL-2016/17 Championship and returned from Dynamo to the RFPL. Although Kozlov had to miss about six months due to injury. By the way, he is included in a kind of top-10 "crystal" RFPL footballers. A footballer is often injured, and not always minor bruises and bruises. Some are so serious that they knock him out of action for months. As a result, he has to miss training, training camps, and matches.
Personal life
On July 2, 2011, Alexey married his beloved girlfriend, whose name is Yana Salakhova. The wife supported the football player at the World Cup along with the wives of other players of the Russian national team.
In February 2013, the couple had a son, Miroslav.
Unlike his football colleagues, Kozlov does not run Instagram, so there are not many of his photos on the Web. And Yana is not a fan of social networks. From time to time, their joint photos appear on her page on VKontakte. But, perhaps, the guys adhere to the principle of "happiness loves silence" in their relationship.
Alexey Kozlov now

The conversation was about the transfer amount of € 1.5 million. But the transfer still did not take place. Today the footballer continues to play for Dynamo.
June 17, 2018 Yana became a guest of the show "Let them talk." The program was dedicated to the wives of famous football players. Yana Kozlova said that her husband did not receive a call to the national team for the home tournament, as the performance at the World Cup in Brazil for the national team ended unsuccessfully. The girl still remembers the state of Alexei after the failure four years ago. Kozlov was in an extremely depressed state, and he wanted to be alone with himself. According to Yana Kozlova, it took her husband time to put his thoughts in order.
Children of the Russian national football team. Miroslav KozlovThe family even decided to move out of town in order to abstract from neighbors and communication in principle. By the way, they never returned to the city, they decided to stay away from the noisy metropolis and closer to nature.
