One of the candidates for the shift in the age linedefense in the Russian national team is Denis Terentyev. Footballer "Rostov", every year shows an increasingly mature game, and, in the opinion of some experts, already deserved the right to call in the main part of the national team.

Zenit start

Terentyev Denis Sergeyevich was born on August 13, 1992year in St. Petersburg. One of the main hobbies of the boy was football, and, at the beginning of schooling, his parents recorded him in the sports section "Smena", which later became known as the academy of "Zenith", for which he eventually began his career. Upon joining the Russian champion, Denis was distinguished by high speed and incredible tenacity when playing in defense, due to which, in 2010 he was attracted to the games for the youth team of the club. Having played two years for the young, Terentev liked the mentor of the basics - Luciano Spalletti, who in 2012 attracted the player to participate in the training camps.

In three preparatory stages, the defender receiveda bit of playing time, but was considered in the role of one of the reserve players. As a result, in May of the same year Denis Terentyev made his debut in the Premier League - the defender was replaced in the end of the match against "Anji", contributing to the victorious conclusion of the meeting. The rest of the championship Terentyev, although involved in training the basics, as well as included in the composition for the match, but the field did not get any more chances. As a result, the game with the Makhachkala club became the only one in the "Zenith" for the young Russian, both in the season and at the current time of the career in general.

The first rent in "Tom"

That the talented player did not sit out onbench, the coaching staff decided to send him on lease - the new club for the next two years for Denis was "Tom". At that time, the Tomsk club played in the FNL, and the masterful, fast-progressing defender was just needed for the team. As a result, already in the first half of the season, Terentyev became one of the players of the base, regularly leaving in the starting lineup, and managed to mark the score with a scored ball, hitting the gates of the Volgograd Rotor. As a result, as part of "Tom", the defender became the silver champion of the FNL, contributing to the team's exit in the Premier League.

The next season, despite the increase, wasnot the most successful, both for the player and for the club - the beginning of the championship Denis Terentyev was forced to miss because of injury, and after returning only 7 minutes in one of the last matches of the outgoing year. Then, the defender came out for 15 minutes in a play-off against Ufa, appearing when Tom lost 4-1. After that, he returned to Zenit because of the end of the second lease agreement.

Six months in the "reserve" of "Zenith"

Mentor "Zenith" in a gifted defender need notI saw, despite the presence of problems in the defense, and a player with a Russian passport could be an excellent help for the game in the championship. As a result, the next six months of the contract with the St. Petersburg club Denis Terentyev, whose biography already had a solid number of matches in professional football, held in the second team under the leadership of Vladislav Radimov, after which he was again leased to Tomsk.

An attempt to return "Tom" to the elite

As part of "Tom" Denis played his lasthalf a year of the contract with "Zenith", and already then was ready on transition to other club after end of the agreement. And, to get into a decent team, the defender was required to prove himself on the field of the FNL, where the Tomsk citizens again tried to return to the elite of Russian football.

Already familiar to the coaching staff and fans,Terentyev quickly found himself at the base, and helped “Tom” confidently finish third, having recorded two assists in 9 FNL meetings. However, in the play-offs, the Siberian club was not lucky - according to the results of the confrontation with “Ural”, the team from Yekaterinburg was stronger. Nevertheless, Terentyev spent this game segment successfully, and immediately received a number of offers from the RFPL clubs.

Go to "Rostov"

The choice of Denis fell on the "Rostov". Despite the unsuccessful performance of the club in the previous season, the defender believed in the potential of the team under the leadership of Kurban Berdiyev, and, as time showed, was right. In the main part Terentyev did not get right away, playing for the first season as the main reserve defender. However, the level of play demonstrated by the footballer was quite high, and as early as next year, with the rank of silver medalist of the Russian Championship, Denis began the season as the main pillar of defense of the Rostov club.

In 2016, all of Europe already found out about whosuch Terentyev Denis. The biography of the UEFA Champions League didn’t have until that moment, but the player was able to play the qualifying games with honor, and in the group stage, in a meeting with Ajax, the defender became one of the key players of the team. As a result, “Rostov” was able to take third place in labor in the fight against the best teams in Europe. In the Premier League, the footballer’s affairs also went well - only 4 matches did without the participation of a young player. As a result, in a year and a half in the Rostov club, Denis took part in 36 meetings, and now he expects to continue his path of development in order to grow to the call for the Russian team. In the meantime, in the nearest plans of the player - a successful performance in the European League and the Russian Championship, where the “Rostov” has a good chance to fight for the prizes.
