Everyone who knew little Sychev said that he was just crazy about football. But Dmitry was a gifted boy, and therefore his sporting passions were not limited to football. So, at the age of 8, Dima began to attend the hockey section. Looking like football or hockey training, he soon realized that football was much more attractive to him.

Leaving Spartak
On August 16, 2002, about a couple of hours before the upcoming match with Vladikavkaz Alania, Dmitry Sychev handed the letter of resignation to the president of Spartak. Dmitry refused to play for the capital's club, while having an unexpired 5-year contract on hand.
Soon, Sychev sent an explanatory paper to the KDK of the football union, in which he indicated that he had made such a decision because Spartak had violated the terms of the contract and refused to pay lifting dollars in the total amount of 10 thousand US dollars. On August 21, 2002, Sychev appeared in public for the last time: on the eve of the match of the Russian national team against the Swedish national team, he was awarded the Porshe car as the best player in the Russian team. Due to the severance of the contract with the capital club, Sychev was not announced for the game.
