Shamsiddin Shanbiyev, a native of Tajikistan, once played not only in Moscow “Spartak”, but also in a number of other teams, and now he is passing on his experience to the younger generation of football players.

Shamsiddin, along with his partner Vitaly Daraselia Jr., the son of the famous football player V.Daraselia Sr., opened a football academy in Brooklyn. This was announced by Daraselia Jr. himself on his social network.

Shamsiddin Shanbiyev gained a lot of experience playing for “Spartak” and is now ready to help young players improve. The former football player told about this in an interview with an “Asia-Plus” journalist.

According to him, today the doors of the football academy are open to all comers who will study according to all modern methods and with professional coaches.

“We are raising future champions at the academy. I am sure that our wards will achieve success in their future careers,” – said Shamsiddin.

Shamsiddin Shanbiyev was born on February 18, 1997 in the Leninabad region of Tajikistan (now Sughd region), was the second of three sons in the family. His father worked in Chelyabinsk and Yekaterinburg in the 1990s, and in 2000 moved the family to Moscow, where he had several outlets on the Cherkizovsky market.

On the advice of his father, at the age of 7, Shamsiddin began playing football at “Spartak” school. It was at this club that he became a professional footballer.

“The initiator was my father. There were different options where to go, but my father chose “Spartak”. He liked the style of the team, the smart combination football played by the red and white. After playing for a couple of years at the Spartak Academy, I realized that it is impossible to live without football. I can't imagine myself without a game. Therefore, after completing my career, I decided to become a coach. Now I will pass on the experience to the young. The Spartak school and football thought are on our side. We can beat anyone through the broadcasts. The most important thing is to give your best on the field,” – concluded Shanbiyev.

Having played for the youth team of the Red and white, including in the UEFA Youth league, Shanbiev became a player of “Spartak-2”, in which he played three seasons in the FNL. By the way, one day Shamsiddin got into the FNL national team for a match against the Cyprus youth national team.

He was also called up to the youth national teams of Russia. He took part in two qualifying matches of the European Youth Championship.

After leaving “Spartak-2” in 2020, Shanbiev moved to Ural. Shamsiddin, who played as a right-back, then joined the club as a free agent.

He did not stay there for long, and went to “Isloch” (Belarus), then there was “Irtysh” (Omsk). And then he stayed without a club for a while and decided, eventually, to move to the USA.
