The son of former Zenit goalkeeper Vyacheslav Malafeev Played his first professional match.
19-year-old goalkeeper Maxim Malafeev He plays for St. Petersburg’s Stars. Today, he was included in the team’s starting lineup for the Second League B match against Yenisei-2 in Krasnoyarsk, having played the entire game. Petersburg won 3-1.
The footballer’s father commented on the source of his son’s debut:
I think his professional debut was good. The team won. The game looked good. There were no points in the first half, and there was a missed goal: a pass to the center and near an exit.
He knew in advance what he would play. We discussed it with him. I had only one piece of advice: don’t invent anything, play as best he can. In the last game for the youth “Stars,” he played well. There was enough information for me to be in good shape. He told him to play at his level.
Other prospects will depend solely on him. His debuts were generally a success. But this is only the beginning, only the first step.
