Denis Oleinik belongs to a cohort of football players who were never able to fully reveal their talent. The reasons experts call different. Let's talk about everything in order.
Childhood and adolescence: the formation of a football personality
Denis Oleynik was born on June 16, 1987 in the city of Zaporozhye. His father, a rather well-known player in the past, Viktor Oleinik, had previously played for Zaporozhye Metallurg. He also spent some time with the Chernivtsi Bukovina. So there were circumstances that the family had to leave Zaporozhye. Knowing the hospitality of Bukovynians, his father decided that the family was moving to Chernivtsi. Denis immediately enrolled in the football section of the Chernivtsi “Bukovina”. Denis showed his outstanding talent at the age of 10.
In 1999, the youth team "Bukovina" participated in the tournament in German Stuttgart. German scouts drew attention to Denis’s game, but did not invite him to him, since he was still very young. After some time, “Bukovina” (boys) went to the tournament in the capital. Such competitions always attract the attention of scouts of Kiev Dynamo. After the tournament, Denis received an offer from the Kiev Grand and moved to the Academy of the capital's super club.
Oleinik and Dynamo: history of performances and the reasons for failures
After graduating from the academy, the player was part of the Dynamo-3 team that existed at the time of 2004. She played in the second league of the championship of Ukraine. Denis made his debut in the professional arena at the age of 17. It is important for a young player to have stable playing practice in official matches, and he received it in this team. In the 2004/2005 season, Oleinik played 17 matches and scored 1 goal. Next year, Denis is going up - in Dynamo-2. The coaches saw the potential and progress of the player, so they trusted him. In total, he played 34 matches for Dynamo 2 and doubles in the 2005/2006 season, scoring 7 goals. The following season, Oleinik also plays for the double and for Dynamo 2. But besides this, the coaches gave him the opportunity to make his debut in the first team. The event happened in Kharkov in a duel against local citizens. Those few minutes Denis remembered for a lifetime. Unfortunately, Denis Oleinik, a football player with great talent, could not gain a foothold in the main team. Of course, the competition was stunning, because Valentin Belkevich still played in the team in his position .
In his interview after moving to Metalist in 2008, speaking about the reasons for the failures at Dynamo, Denis notes that it is better to find out the answer to this question from Yuri Semin. It seems that the Dynamo coach simply did not believe in the pupil of Chernivtsi football.
Foreign experience
After “Metalist” and “Dnepr”, in which Oleynik also spent good seasons, he decided to try his hand abroad. Received an offer from the middle peasant Dutch championship - Arnhemian “Vitessa”. The player decided to answer him with consent and did not regret it. He played in this Dutch club for two seasons (it is known that on May 18, 2016 Denis announced his retirement from this team), having spent most of the matches in the first team. In general, for “Vitesse” Denis spent 66 matches, scoring 10 goals.
Problems in personal life
Denis Oleinik is a football player (his wife turned out to be right), who is interested in gambling. It was his passion for visiting the casino that became one of the reasons for the couple’s divorce. In addition, the wife accuses the ex-husband of domestic violence. Yevgeny Konoplyanka spoke about the problems in the Oleinik family in an interview , but then somehow she did not believe in the reality of a divorce from a beautiful married couple raising two children. As it turned out, Linnet was right.
We can say that the problems of Denis Oleinik in his personal life did not affect his successful performance in the Dutch championship. One can only hope for a successful continuation of Denis's career and the establishment of his personal life.
