This goalkeeper has replaced a lot of club registrations of the Russian Premier League teams. Ilya Abaev traveled through the vast expanses of the country, starting with his native Moscow, and ending with Nizhny Novgorod and Makhachkala. He often could not stand the competition in his position, where he was acquired as a rotation player. There were brighter times in the career, when the athlete steadily went out in the starting lineup of clubs. How was his football history?
Youth, double and youth
The athlete’s father is a former football player, and later became a coach who continues his activities at the Chertanovo sports school, where our hero was trained. Mother was engaged in basketball, and the future of young Ilya was a foregone conclusion. He tried in training, and in competitions shone in the goal, becoming an impenetrable wall in the eyes of his rivals.
When he was still in grade 10, the young man was taken to the “Torpedo”. The guy comes in the backup team of the Moscow team. Further, the club management decides to check the young man in the youth team, but soon returns to the double. During this period, the player receives a huge amount of practice.
Traveling in Russia
Going to the main structure of “Torpedo”, the goalkeeper enters the field a few times. He wanted a gaming experience, so FC Anji is rented for the season. There the goalkeeper spends an intense game year, where in the second strongest division of Russia is an integral part of the “eagles”. Having returned to the camp of “black and white”, he does not find a place at the base and again goes to the Makhachkala club.
The season 2008, the player defends the “black and white”, but in 2009, “Anji” signs a contract with a football player. Ilya Abaev made a significant contribution to the club’s transition to the Premier League. Then he leaves for Nizhny Novgorod after spending 2 full-fledged seasons for FC Volga. The third season is distinguished by an exit in the championship only 3 times and a pass of 5 goals. Although the contract was extended for the Novgorod team, fate is a new challenge. The player returns to the capital.
Return to Moscow and the present
The goalkeeper needs the protective qualities of Lokomotiv. The main goalkeeper of the "railroad" was seriously injured and is eliminated for a long time. Abaev excellently defends the first half of the 2013/14 season. Guillerme recovered, the confrontation begins, during which everyone had a great series of matches. Later, the Brazilian becomes a favorite in the “Locomotive”. Ilya first leaves for several months at FC Krasnodar, and after that, as a free agent, he moves to FC Rostov.
