Balyaykin Eugene - Russian football player, a native of the city of Bratsk, Irkutsk region. He received the beginnings of football education at local football schools. Even at a young age proved to be a midfielder. Subsequently, it was in this role that he began to speak at a professional level.
Soccer player from Siberia
Eugene became interested in football Balyaykin even before school, his father gave him to the training system of the Sibiryak team, which was based in his hometown of Bratsk. It was with this club that he was to take the first steps in big sport.
He was born in May 1988, and already in 2004 at the age of 16 he made his debut in the main team of his city. At that time, the team played in the Second Division in the East zone.
Despite his young age, Balyaykin immediately entrenched in the main team, bringing considerable benefit to his club. True, this did not often affect the final results. “Sibiryak”, by which time had already established itself as a strong middle peasant in the Second Division, was extremely unsuccessful that year. In 27 matches, they managed to win only 4 times, and the team would probably have struggled to maintain their professional status if it hadn't been for Shakhtar from Prokopyevsk, who had serious financial difficulties. As a result, the team was even taken 6 points, because of which she ended the season with a negative score of -3 points in last place. “Siberian” was the penultimate.
In 2005, a team from Bratsk showed a more stable game. Also gained experience and Eugene Balyaykin. The footballer became one of the full-fledged leaders, taking 7th place in the Vostok zone. The team repeated the same result in 2006. True, this time there were more opportunities to take a higher place. Until the 4th line, only 2 points were not enough.
For three seasons Balyaykin spent 72 matches for Sibiryak, scoring 8 goals.
Transfer to Rubin
In 2007, the well-established Balyaykin Eugene was in the location of Kazan “Rubin”. The team at that time was already playing in the Premier League. True, on the move to break into the highest echelon of Russian football failed. Balyaykin spent almost the entire first season in the championship of youth teams.
He made his debut in the Premier League in May 2007 in a match with Vladivostok Luch-Energia, the midfielder replaced in the end, after spending 7 minutes on the field. In that season, he appeared on the field three more times, but always at the very ends of the matches.
2008 became gold in the career of Balyaykin. Together with Rubin, he became the champion of Russia in football. True, the field again appeared irregularly. At the beginning of the season in almost every match (in 8 out of 11), and then went on a double for a long time, returning only to the first team only in the penultimate round.
In 2009, Balyaykin Eugene for the second time in a row became the champion of the country. He spent 17 meetings in the Russian championship and made his debut in the Champions League. In a home match with Milan “Inter” came on as a substitute, the match ended in a draw 1: 1. Kazan could not leave the group. Having won only once (2: 1 against Barcelona at Camp Nou) with 6 points, Rubin took third place.
2010 - was the last year for the midfielder in the “Rubin”. In the championship of Russia, he held 13 meetings, winning bronze medals. This ended his speech for Kazan Evgeni Balyaykin. The statistics of the football player are as follows - 44 matches, with no goals scored.
Back to Siberia
In 2011, Tom became the new Balyaykin team. Tomsk, like Kazan, played in the Premier League, but not so successfully. 2011 was the transition season from spring-autumn to fall-spring. Therefore, the championship was played out in two stages. After the end of the first Siberians were in last place. 18 games out of 30 were lost. However, not everything is lost. The second stage was to rectify this situation.
Balyaykin at that time became a player of the main team, but could not significantly help the team. “Tom” left the last place, surpassing the Nalchinsk “Spartak”, however, failed to rise even higher. The next season, the team was waiting for the First Division.
Balyaykin with “Tomyu” said goodbye, having played only 29 matches, in which he scored one goal.
Career on the Volga
Samara became the next city that Yevgeny Balyaykin chose. “Wings of the Soviets” consistently performed in the Premier League, being in the status of a strong middle peasant.
In the 2012/13 season, a stable performance in the elite of Russian football for the Samara team is over. At what Balyaykin in the new team could not prove himself, having spent only 11 matches in the first season.
The team took 14th place and went to defend their right to play in the Premier League in butt games. In rivals Volzhans got Nalchinsky “Spartak”. House “Wings” won 2-0. An even more convincing victory was won at a party 5: 2, while retaining a residence permit in the football elite.
However, the next year they again found themselves in the joint zone. True, this time they could not stay in the Premier League. In the first match, “Wings” were defeated away from the Moscow “Torpedo” 2-0. In the second leg, goals were never scored. For two seasons, Balyaykin spent 40 matches for the Samara team.
