Stages of the football path
Ivan Taranov began to comprehend the basics of football mastery at the football school of the city of Prokhladny (Kabardino-Balkaria). Further, fate threw Ivan to Novorossiysk, where after finishing a sports boarding school he polished his skills in the local Chornomorets for two seasons. The coach of the Novorossiysk team was Alexander Pavlovich Surov. Once he recommended a young player to go to Sochi, where he spent the preparatory period, the CSKA Moscow club, and go through the viewing with the head coach of the team. The extraordinary defender of the Novorossiysk team was seen and taken in pencil by the leadership of the Moscow club.
In 2003, Ivan Taranov became the footballer of the capital's team.
Here he spends the first two football seasons in the club’s backup team, actually serving in the army. The first match in the first team (debut in the Premier League of the Russian championship) came in a cup match with St. Petersburg “Zenith”.
Slowly, Ivan Taranov becomes a footballer of the main team, takes part in the games for the Russian youth team (U-21).
In 2007, Ivan scored his first and only goal for the club CSKA. The goal was scored in a cup match against the Kaliningrad Baltika. In the same year, the player receives a call to the national team of Russia. There was a great desire to make his debut on the field as part of the country's main team, but he started the match as a reserve footballer. Further events on the football field developed so that the strengthening of the defensive line was not necessary. The whole match, Ivan Taranov sat on the bench. He was not involved in the team anymore.
In early 2008, the footballer enters into a five-year contract with Wings of the Soviets. CSKA receives almost $ 2 million, and Ivan becomes a player in the Samara club.
Together with the team, Ivan Taranov experiences both ups and downs. This is a worthy sixth place (2008), and fourteenth (2014), and small gold medals (2015).
Since the 2008 season, the club has been lowering each year lower and lower in the championship standings, saving itself at the last moment in transitional matches. In addition, the team was balancing on the verge of extinction: the club's debts amounted to more than $ 90 million. And only mass actions of fans of the Samara club, their pickets, actions, rallies allowed the Russian government to decide on financing the team with a pool of federal sponsors. This saved the team from bankruptcy, but slightly improved the club's tournament performance. At the end of the 2014 season, the team left the Premier League.
Having made a historic departure from the first Russian division for the first time, the club lost almost all of its leading players. There were only three long-term leaders of the team: Sergey Kornilenko, Ibrahim Tsallagov and Ivan Taranov. Why did you stay? They knew that they would soon return to the elite of Russian football. And, in addition, they are devoted to the club, in which they spent many years, and remained in a period of difficulties.
The situation was to be corrected by new faces in the team's leadership: CEO Vitaly Shashkov and club senior coach Frank Verkauteren. The coaching approach of the Belgian specialist began to slowly produce results. The team became inherent in stability. The tournament distance was confident. Beating all the clubs, “KS” took first place in the FNL championship. Ivan Taranov, the footballer who cemented the defensive line of the team, fully applied his foot to this. The club conceded the least number of goals, and the goalkeeper set a record for the time spent on the field without goals conceded (1148 minutes).
Achievements
Ivan Taranov won all his prizes and cups, speaking in the CSKA team during 2006-2008.

Ivan is in his prime, so the main victories on the football field are yet to come.
