He was recognized as the best young player of Saturn season 2009-2010, winner of the European Youth Championship and the NFL Championship.
Consider in detail the biography of Alexander Sapeta.
Childhood
The Russian midfielder was born on June 28, 1989 in Engels, Saratov Region. From an early age he was fond of football, but the boy did not dream of a professional career as a football player. For little Alexander, the game was just a hobby.
Career
The young athlete began his first steps in professional football in 2003. At the age of 14, Alexander trained at the School of the Olympic Reserve, where he constantly went to training and learned the basics of professional football with his peers. After spending two years at the school, the guy moved to Saturn, where he performed in the youth squad. Playing for the youth team, Alexander spent 80 matches, in which he scored 14 goals.
The debut in the first team took place at the age of 17 years. And Alexander scored the first official goal in his professional career in mid-November 2009, at the age of 20. Playing for the first team of the Ramensky “Saturn”, Alexander Sapeta spent 40 matches, in which he scored three goals.
After five years as part of the “Saturn” young midfielder noticed in the Moscow “Dynamo”. However, Alexander was also invited to Moscow “Spartak” and St. Petersburg “Zenith”, but the athlete decided to speak precisely for the team from which he had been a fan since childhood. In early 2011, a promising midfielder signed a contract with Dynamo Moscow. The agreement with the player was designed for three years.
In the game for Dynamo, Alexander played 52 matches, where he scored three goals. In the third season, the Moscow club leased the young midfielder to the Urals. As part of the Urals, the Russian midfielder failed to gain a foothold due to a serious injury. As a result, the young midfielder spent only six official matches for this team and scored one goal.
Since the Moscow club did not dare to renew the contract with the young midfielder, in the summer of 2014, Alexander moved to Ural as a free agent. The contract with the club was signed for two seasons with the possibility of extension for another season.
Healing a serious injury, the Russian midfielder quickly won a place in the main team of the Yekaterinburg club. In the first half, Alexander became the best player in the Yekaterinburg team, according to fans. In two seasons spent in the Urals, Alexander entered the field 47 times and scored 8 goals.
After spending just two seasons in the Yekaterinburg team, Alexander returned to Dynamo Moscow, signing a contract for three seasons with the old club. In the first season, the Russian midfielder helped the Moscow club return to the Premier League. And a year and a half later, Dynamo Moscow decided to terminate the contract with the footballer, having paid compensation for the remaining months under the contract. In total, over the incomplete three seasons, the Russian midfielder spent 45 matches, in which he scored three goals.
The following season, Alexander was in search of a new club to pursue a career. However, not a single club was ready to offer the Russian midfielder a full-fledged contract. Everything turned upside down in the summer of 2017, when the midfielder signed a contract with Rostov. In the new club, the Russian football player Alexander Sapeta, frankly, did not do well. Only occasionally did a Russian footballer come out for a substitute, and in other cases did not even appear in the application for the match.
Exactly one year later, Alexander broke off the contract with Rostov and moved to Nizhny Novgorod, where he steadily left in the main team.
Today, Alexander continues to defend the colors of Nizhny Novgorod, where he constantly plays in the starting lineup.
International career
At 24, Alexander was on the expanded list of the Student National Team of the country, but did not get into the final application. Alexander was never called for the first team. Only at 22 years old was he able to play for the second team, having spent only three matches, in which he distinguished himself only once.
Personal life
Alexander was married, but now divorced. He has a child, he lives with the former wife of a football player. The ex-wife of Alexander Sapeta in early 2018 filed a complaint with the police about the abduction of the child by his father.
