The first steps to professional football Vladislav Ignatiev began at the age of seven, enrolling in a local school. In childhood, the coaches tried it at different positions on the field, but the player himself was more inclined to play in the attack.
Carier start
As a result, Vladislav Ignatiev proved to be an excellent winger, and at the age of 17, his talent was appreciated by Nizhnekamsk Neftekhimik, offering the player a two-year contract. Vladislav went through a rather long period of adaptation in his first team and only in the second season was he able to gain a foothold in the base, playing a total of 40 matches, scoring 6 goals. In 2006, the midfielder moved to Naberezhnye Chelny, where he gained football wisdom for three seasons in order to realize his cherished dream in 2009 - to play in the Premier League.
Premier League
The first team that Vladislav Ignatiev chose to play in the main national championship were Samara “Wings of the Soviets”. As part of the “wings” 22-year-old player did not get lost, taking part in 26 meetings for the season, but due to financial problems of the club in the winter of that year, the midfielder broke the contract and moved to Moscow “Lokomotiv”, while rejecting a few more top- clubs.
Ignatiev did not succeed in starting with the “railroad” - an injury at the very beginning of the season did not allow him to compete for a place in the first team, and in the summer the Muscovites gave the player a six-month lease in “Kuban”. With the Krasnodar club, Vladislav succeeded - 1 goal in 13 matches and the title of champion of the PFL forced Lokomotiv to refuse to buy the player in green-yellow, returning him to Moscow. But the reappearance in the Moscow club was not the most rosy for the midfielder - despite the frequent appearance in the starting lineup, they demanded more from the player in Lokomotiv, which is why in the spring of 2012 Vladislav Ignatiev was again in the Krasnodar club, but this time in Krasnodar.
Krasnodar travel
As part of the “bulls” Oleg Kononov quickly found a place for the player, and Vladislav Ignatiev, a football player with rich experience in playing in the center of the field, was an excellent help to the team in striving for high places in the championship. A year later, a proposal was received from the neighbor of Krasnodar to transfer the midfielder, and the player himself approved the transition option, once again being in the Kuban.
Another success was waiting for Vladislav in the former club - the player spent one and a half seasons at the highest level, scoring 12 goals in 57 matches, becoming the Russian Cup finalist, and also receiving an invitation to the main team, for which he debuted in a friendly match against Portugal. In winter 2015, Vladislav announced the termination of the contract with the team due to financial problems of the club and returned to the once beloved Lokomotiv.
Return to Lokomotiv
The second attempt to play in the composition of “Loco” was for the player more successful. Vladislav regularly appeared on the field, but most often he came on as a substitute and nevertheless brought a lot of benefit to the team, scoring 2 goals in 15 matches and making one transfer. The football player himself has repeatedly noted that he still needs to work on himself, and this desire is welcomed by Lokomotiv's mentor Yuri Semin, who continues to rely on an experienced midfielder.
