"ALWAYS WANT TO PLAY IN MY TOWN"
In the off-season, Alexander Petukhov returned to his hometown. This striker ten years ago was called “St. Petersburg Gerd Müller” for his scoring flair, they predicted a great future. However, he was not destined to become Zenit's scorer.
Trauma prevented play
Is it true that you were not immediately accepted into Smena?
Yes, my parents brought me to school on Vernosti Street when I was six years old, and at first they didn’t take me to it, as they did to the Zenit Sports School. They explained that we need to grow up a little. Only a year later, on the second attempt, I was enrolled in Smena. He began to study with the coach Yuri Iosifovich Kantor, a man who brought up such strikers as Dmitry Radchenko and Boris Matveev. I was on the same team with Dmitry Akimov, who now plays for Siberia.
Did you get to Zenit right after graduation?
To be honest, I don't remember the details. In 1997, the team was headed by Anatoly Byshovets, and in the club, Yuri Andreevich Morozov worked as the sports director, who invited me to sign a contract. Then there were no backup teams, and I started playing for Zenit-2 under the guidance of coach Vitaly Lebedev.
In your youth, you were predicted a stellar career. Nevertheless, you have not yet secured a foothold in the main line-up of Zenit. What prevented?
The 1999 season was very good for me, I was a good substitute, scored four goals, including a goal against Lokomotiv, which was then fighting for gold. Then I got a severe knee injury, which knocked me out of action for a long time. While he was undergoing treatment, young promising guys appeared at Zenit, who managed to win a place in the squad. I realized that I would not be able to get into the "base", and went to play in another club.
I remember Lipetsk with warmth
After leaving St. Petersburg, you ended up in Lipetsk Metallurg, which was headed by Anatoly Davydov.
We immediately won a ticket to the first division. We had a great team. The game was especially successful in 2003, when we debuted in the first division. However, circumstances developed in such a way that many of the St. Petersburg guys were not there soon. The same Ugarov, with whom it was very interesting for me to play. I remember Lipetsk with special warmth. I played constantly, scored a lot. When Anatoly Davydov was removed from Metallurg, at the end of the first round I went to Luch-Energiya.
You've probably heard about the conflict in Metallurg between coach Bernikov and the players with the use of weapons, which happened last year.
I was very surprised when I heard about it. I asked the guys for details. Everyone was shocked. Earlier, in the 90s, this could still have happened. But now! Some kind of savagery.
I always want to play in my hometown
How do you remember the time you spent in "Ray-Energiya"? With him you returned to the elite division of the Russian championship.
I didn’t do much in Luch. In the main squad, I played only in the first division, when we were fighting to get to the Premier League. Then he never entered the field, except that he played against Zenit in the spring of 2006 at Petrovsky. Sergey Pavlov builds the team at his own discretion. Apparently, I did not fit into his schemes.
Your move to Dynamo St. Petersburg came as a surprise to many, but what about you?
Until the end of 2007, I had a contract with Luch, which I terminated by mutual agreement with the club. Literally at the last moment, two days before the end of the application period, I was invited to Dynamo. I always want to play in my city, so I agreed.
What are your goals for the season?
I will do my best in what depends on me to help my new team to reach the first division. Dynamo is an ambitious club, God forbid that its management strives for the same as Zenit strives for.
Do you keep in touch with any of the Zenith?
There is no longer a close relationship. And before that we closely communicated with Igor Denisov, Andrey Arshavin, with whom we live in the same house. When Zenit came to Vladivostok last year, we managed to talk to Slava Malafeev.
Are you worried about the fate of your home team?
Of course, I am pleased that I played in this team. I am glad for the guys I know who were able to prove themselves at such a high level - both in the club and in the national team. They deserve it.
« DENISOV IS A SIMPLE AND KIND GUY»
A long way was predicted for him. The star of youth football in St. Petersburg, a graduate of Smena, the best scorer of all kinds of tournaments, on whom Anatoly Byshovets had his eye. And the capabilities of Zenit in the late 1990s, far from the current abundance, seemed ideal for daring.
The debut came to match the expectations - a victory in the Russian Cup (even if Petukhov himself watched decisive matches off the bench), daring substitutions for the defense of opponents, the first goals of the 19-year-old striker, which constantly brought the team points. It seemed like the beginning of a bright star path.
Alas, Petukhov's career in his hometown and in the Premier League in general ended with Zenit's first medal in modern history. And he scored his goals far from the Neva banks, driving from Murmansk to Vladivostok. But he does not regret anything, besides, great football in his life continues. Yes, not just anywhere, but in the team - the sensations of the beginning of the championship in the second division.
Yesterday Tosno was an unknown newcomer at the professional level, and now it has climbed to the very top of the table.
In the FNL non-stop
Alexander, how did the Tosno option come about?
It's very simple - they called me and invited me. I arrived, talked to the head of the team, Slava Matyushenko, and saw that the club was developing and was setting itself interesting tasks. It all seemed attractive to me.
Considering that you are one of the few on the team who played in major league, you probably have a special role?
Exactly - one of the few. Besides me, Yura Solntsev and Valya Filatov performed at a high level. Of course, if we need to help the guys in something, to tell something, we do it with pleasure. But this does not make our role any special.
Tosno's leadership is perhaps the main sensation of the first part of the championship. Does the team have a clear task?
There is no clear requirement to take a specific seat. But in any case, it is clear that we will strive to rise as high as possible. Including this implies the struggle for access to the FNL.
It is not uncommon for the second division when teams seek the right to step up, but then they are forced to refuse.
This is not our case. I am sure that if we seriously apply for a promotion in the class, this will only be welcomed.
So far, only Ivanovo "Tekstilshchik" is on a par with you. Who besides him will fight for a ticket to the top?
I think that both Vladimir Torpedo and Smolensk Dnipro set these goals. I admit that several teams will fight to the very end at once.
Which opponent made the best impression?
I can mark absolutely everyone. Including Zenit-2, with which we had a very dramatic match in the first round with a final decoupling. It's just that someone has a situation in standings better, but someone hasn't gotten enough points yet. Nevertheless, the level of our zone is quite decent. After all, in recent years I have been playing here and I can compare.
Murmansk allowance
- "Tosno" managed to make a rustle in the Cup of Russia. How did you react to the results of the draw for the 1/16 finals?
I confess that I didn't want to meet with Ural. This is a very good and fighting team, capable of causing problems to any opponent. But I also want to win the Cup and move on.
Your peer Dmitry Akimov plays for Dynamo St. Petersburg. Did you have the opportunity to be there?
No, absolutely. They were not invited to Dynamo, and there weren't even any conversations on this topic.
For three years you played for Sever from Murmansk, a city that is hard to associate with football. What attracted you to this option and what kept you there for so long?
Here, too, everything is very simple. They invited me, offered normal conditions. In addition, at first we lived and trained in St. Petersburg; we moved to Murmansk only in my last season at the North, when the stadium was built there. Another moment that attracted me was working with Valery Esipov. He has come a long way in football, his experience is very interesting and rewarding.
How many months a year is it realistic to play football in Murmansk?
If you are lucky with the weather, then from April to September.
Given the Murmansk specifics, what are the prospects for football in this city?
If we go back to the "spring - autumn" system, then they can be good. But according to the current system it is very difficult to play there. In October it often snows in Murmansk, it is impossible to play. The same is possible in April. At the same time, the summer month for football disappears. Although this time can be assigned more matches in Murmansk.
By the way, did you get the northern allowance?
Yes, I think so. But this applies not only to football players, but in general to everyone who works in the North. Another thing is that this allowance was very small for me. I don't even remember its size.
Wasn't the initial conditions more attractive than other clubs?
It's all individually, who agrees how. Those who were satisfied with the conditions accepted the invitation.
Is it boring for a person from a big city in Murmansk?
Compared to Peter, of course, it's unusual. But this was not a problem for me. At least I did not suffer from the lack of places for cultural leisure. After all, I came there not to rest, but to play football. There was not even a special desire to go out and have fun.
Charge from the fans
Before "North" you had another adventure - in Kazakhstan. How did it get there?
I knew that football is developing in Kazakhstan, there is a good championship, there are enough strong teams. Therefore, when the proposal came from "Tobol", I had no doubts. And soon he was convinced of the correctness of the choice. Good conditions, leadership is always with the team, doing everything necessary for it. Only positive memories remain from the year spent in Kazakhstan. And an indicator of the progress of football in this country is the performance of Shakhtar Karaganda in European competitions. After all, he just did not have enough to get into the group stage of the Champions League.
Why didn't they stay in Kazakhstan?
After the season I talked to the coach and decided that I was returning from Russia. In addition, soon there was to enter a ban on legionnaires over 30 years old. And I was already almost 29.
Have you counted how many have flown during your performance for Luch-Energiya?
So there it was possible to lose count. We played a match in Vladivostok, flew to Moscow, and from there to the away match. Then to Vladivostok, where we are preparing for a home meeting for a week. Then again to Moscow. I think we spent more time in the air than on the ground.
Is Luch-Energia a reason for pride for fans in Vladivostok?
The attitude to the team there was very reverent. It is now in Vladivostok that a hockey team has appeared in the KHL, there is a basketball "Spartak-Primorye". And seven to eight years ago, of the team in team sports, only Luch represented the city in the elite. During the matches, the legs ran faster by themselves - the fans supported us so fiercely.
You worked there with Sergei Pavlov, who was reputed to be a master of leading teams to the top division. What do you remember working with him?
Maybe we can get around this topic? There is no desire to talk about him.
Why so?
Relations with Pavlov did not work out.
And which of the Far Eastern flavor struck?
- “Struck” is, perhaps, too loud. But the region, of course, has its own specifics. For example, I saw cars with a left-hand drive there only three times. In products and things, people focus more on Japan, which is within easy reach. Otherwise, everything is familiar - our people speak Russian. And, of course, there is also a time difference. It’s also unusual: we go out to the game in the evening, and in Moscow and St. Petersburg it’s only noon.
When the Premier League beckons
You played the most matches and scored goals for Metallurg Lipetsk. Was it in this team that you felt the most comfortable?
Of course. In Lipetsk, I constantly felt trust, everything worked out there. He revealed himself to a greater extent precisely in Metallurg. The attitude of the fans, who doted on the team, is also worth a lot. Lipetsk is a truly football city.
Why is there still no Premier League team there?
The reason is trivial - lack of funding. When I played there, money was in order. But when the club is supported by one person, it is always fraught. Difficult times came, and no one wanted to show the same attention to Metallurg.
Could have gone from there to the Premier League?
Twice. At first he invited Amkar, just when he was in the elite. A year later I went to training camp with Terek.
Don't agree?
Why? I agreed on everything. They were waiting for me there. But I decided that I shouldn't leave Metallurg.
Weird. Isn't being able to play in the Premier League a sufficient reason?
At that time, it was not decisive for me. In Lipetsk, they trusted me, I enjoyed football, so I thought that Metallurg should not be changed for something. I thought I needed to show myself there, and then think about the Premier League again.
Did you regret that decision?
Never. Neither about that nor about any other decisions that I made during my career. Because he always did what he thought was right at that time.
Morozov and Petrzhela
Have you ever had the opportunity to return to Zenit?
Only once - when, after the first season at Metallurg, he returned to St. Petersburg. "Zenith" was just headed by Petrzhel. I went through two training camps with the team, then I was not needed. This was the end of my Zenith story.
Vlastimil made it clear why he refused your services?
No. Nobody explained anything at all.
Did you feel no weaker than other attackers?
I felt good. When I returned to Lipetsk, I played confidently, even easily. Although, perhaps, Petrzhela's fees helped in this. I have never met such loads that he had.
Your debut at Zenit turned out to be impetuous - at the age of 19 you won the Russian Cup with your team, started scoring, but then you played less and less. There is a version that injuries prevented you from gaining a foothold in Zenit.
They, of course, affected. But you shouldn't boil everything down to them. I must admit: there were other forwards in the team, who justified the trust, scored goals. So I had to leave.
Was there a conversation with Yuri Andreevich Morozov about your prospects?
Yes, we talked a couple of times. In the end, we agreed on that: it will be better if I find myself another team.
Do you think the 2001 Kerzhakov was really stronger than you?
So after all, the team won with him, he created enough, scored. Of course, Sasha was stronger. On that moment.
What Morozov do you remember?
An old school man, a great professional, with a clear vision of football. I learned a lot from working with him, not only for football, but also for life.
With whom from the "Zenith" of the 1999-2001 model do you keep in touch?
With Dimka Davydov. Sometimes at matches we meet with Sasha Gorshkov - let's stand and talk. That's all, perhaps.
Davydov believed in me
Who is your best coach in your entire career?
Anatoly Viktorovich Davydov! The man who believed in me helped me to prove myself, to gain a foothold in big football.
Are you worried about Zenit?
So that it is very strong - no longer. V recent times I retained a great interest in the team because of Igor Denisov. We communicate well with him, call back, correspond. I watch his career closely.
What is happening to him at Zenit and Anji surprised?
I didn’t think about it at all. And I never asked Igor anything on this topic. He is an adult, he knows what he wants, he acts exactly as he sees fit.
How much truth is there in what they write about Denisov?
I know him as a persistent person. If Igor wants something, he will achieve his goal. You can always turn to him, in trouble he will not leave anyone.
You could hardly have known him from the football school "Smena" - after all, there is a four-year age difference. The main line-up of "Zenith" did not overlap. Where did you get along with him?
So in 2001 I mainly played for the double. Then Denisov made his debut in it. We talked a lot, lived in the same room. Since then, they became friends.
Do 17-year-old and almost 30-year-old Denisov have much in common?
Many. The same simple and kind person. Absolutely not the same as many put it.
|Number
5 goals were scored by Alexander Petukhov for Zenit. Anatoly Davydov began to admit him to the "base" in the 1999 season. The forward of the Russian youth team marked his eighth replacement with a goal scored. And victorious! At the gates of "Shinnik" on the languishing from the heat "Petrovsky" (2: 1). Until the end of the Russian Championship, Petukhov scored three more times, and again his goals brought real benefit to Zenit. The double against Zhemchuzhina, made in the first half, allowed the St. Petersburg team to beat the tournament outsider without any problems (3: 1), and the goal against Ruslan Nigmatullin - to avoid defeat in the match with Lokomotiv (1: 1). Petukhov did not score any more in the Russian Championship. After Yuri Morozov's appearance at Zenit, he limited himself to only one goal, against the modest Primorye in the Intertoto Cup.

After a while, the best player in its entire history, Nurbol Zhumaskaliev, who had been the irreplaceable captain of the team for many years, left “Tobol”. Goalkeeper Petukhov became the new leader of the club. On July 19, 2011, Oleksandr made his debut in the qualifying games of the Champions League, where FC Tobol played against Slovak Slovan from Bratislava (the match ended with a 1: 1 draw).
In the middle of the next season, the player was seriously injured, due to which he was eliminated before the end of the games. After the restoration, Alexander was offered a 4-year contract, which he signed.
Namesake from Russia
How often in football can you find namesakes with the same name, and even in the same team? This is exactly the case with the Petukhovs.

The namesakes played together only one season in the Kazakh Premier League in 2008. The Russian forward played 27 games for Tobol, in which he managed to score a goal 5 times.

Russian footballer Alexander Petukhov (photo above) was considered a very promising striker. He was predicted a great future in the top clubs of the Russian Premier League. In addition, scouts from the Turkish "Besiktash" and the Greek "Panathiakos" repeatedly came for him. However, the footballer was unable to gain a foothold at the highest level due to numerous injuries and operations. He had constant knee problems that prevented him from showing his full playing potential.
Before the injury, forward Alexander Petukhov played for Dynamo St. Russian Premier League... In total, he played 27 games in the top championship, in which he scored 4 goals.
Since 2009, the striker began to play in the second division of Russia. Here he played for the following clubs:

- "Karelia" (the city of Petrozavodsk).
- "Tosno" (from the city of the same name).

Conductor on the football field
During the period of his performances for the Sever club, Alexander Alexandrovich Petukhov managed to become a real leader in his team in three years. Here he spent 111 games as a striker and was the irreplaceable scorer of the northern team: he had 37 goals on his account. Head coach Leonid Tkachenko experimented a lot with Petukhov's playing position. At first, the footballer played the role of an attacking winger (both left and right), then took the place of a sub-striker. It was in the position of a drawn center forward that Alexander Petukhov felt great and scored goals. So he played the whole season and scored 7 goals, giving 6 assists.
The next season, the team's tactics changed slightly, but the team's central attacking midfielder changed his playing role. Leonid Tkachenko invited Petukhov to try himself as a conductor. Alexander is not a football player who starts to resent and argue, he just understood the coach's installation and continued to play as a playmaker. For this he was respected in the team and, jokingly, was called the conductor. This is not a nickname or nickname. In fact, this is a real football concept, the same as a defensive player, midfielder or goalkeeper. At one time, such football players as Fran Lampard, Wesley Snader and many others were conductors.
