Alexander Radchenko is a young Russian footballer playing for the Volgar First Division club. This year he was only 23 years old, so he is still considered as a promising player. Alexander Radchenko acts as the center forward, however, if necessary, can be shifted to both the left and right flanks of the attack. He has a rather impressive growth - 190 centimeters, thanks to this he can play very well on the second floor. If we talk about kicking, then Radchenko's right leg is active here, he’s not so good with his left.
Carier start
Alexander Radchenko was born on September 14, 1993 in Russia and performed at the youth academy of the SKA-Energia club. This was only the beginning of the journey, and the young striker was seen as a pretty big talent. Therefore, in 2011, a professional contract was signed with him, and he even managed to play eight matches in the 2010/2011 season, when he was 17 years old. The following year, Alexander Radchenko received much less playing practice, having entered the field only once in a cup game. After that, he gradually began to get close to the base and in the next season he played as many as 17 matches, distinguishing himself with his first goal against the opponent. The 13/14 season was the last for the striker in this club - he was already a full-fledged player in the starting lineup, spent 24 matches, scoring three goals when he was acquired by FC Tosno.
Going to Tosno
In a new place, Alexander Radchenko, whose photo quickly got into local sports publications, began to enter the field quite often, but very rarely in the starting lineup. The young player spent as many as thirty-three matches for Tosno, but was able to distinguish himself in just five goals. Then in the summer of 2015, it was decided to lease it so that he could gain game practice. So Alexander Radchenko, the footballer who was foreshadowed of a great future, ended up in the Saratov Sokol.
Rent in the Falcon
Radchenko Alexander immediately began to show his abilities and quickly gained the right for himself to leave the starting lineup. For six months in the club he played 35 matches, scoring four goals and noting four assists. Such results were impressive, but the situation was concomitant - the fact is that in Tosno a lot of pressure hung over the player, and he was in severe competition. In “Falcon”, he became one of the leading players and was able to fully reveal his capabilities. Naturally, he attracted the attention of other clubs with his performances, so in the winter of 2016 another transfer of the forward took place. Radchenko was sold to Yenisei, which also performed in the First Division.
The game for the Yenisei
However, in the new club, the football player could not particularly recommend himself. For six months, he entered the field only ten times, without scoring a single goal and giving just one assists. The club management did not want to get rid of it right away, as it still saw a certain talent in it. That is why it was decided to rent a football player for a whole year. The club, which agreed to rent a 22-year-old striker for rent, was the Astrakhan Volgar.
New rental in Volgar
In “Volgar” the situation was slightly different than in “Yenisei”. “Volgar” struggled to survive in the First Division, while the Yenisei claimed to be in the Premier League. Therefore, in the new club, Radchenko got much more opportunities to distinguish himself and show his best side. He immediately started working on getting into the starting lineup and at the moment he has already played 23 matches for the team. In them, however, he managed to distinguish himself with just two goals, which is not too impressive an indicator for the central striker. However, Alexander is constantly progressing and working on himself, so there is still the possibility that he will be able to reach a new level and achieve more in his career. In the current club, he is one of the key players, which was not in the previous ones, so he has the opportunity to progress much faster. In Volgar, he appears under the ninth number and was able to quickly supplant Sergei Verkashansky, who was the club’s main striker before Radchenko’s arrival, from the base.
Team appearances
If we talk about appearances for the Russian national team, then Radchenko has not yet been called there. In 2010, he made his debut for the youth national team under the age of seventeen and spent three matches for it, and a couple of years later he was called up to the national team until he was twenty, where he also entered the field only twice. This ends the international experience of a football player. Now he is already 23 years old, so there is no point in waiting for the youth teams - but he still does not go through the class to the main team. However, Alexander still has many years of football ahead, so it is still unknown what kind of career heights he will be able to achieve and for which clubs he will play in the future.
