Vadim Bakatin is a football player who plays as a striker (left, right, center) in the French club Monaco (under-19s). Winner of the Gambardella Cup, which is considered one of the most prestigious championships among French youth under the age of nineteen. In terms of technical characteristics, Bakatin in many ways stands out among his teammates: he has phenomenal dribbling, lightning speed and a biting shot. The percentage of his hits on target is 75 percent (for example, the same Brazilian Ronaldinho had 70 percent).

The football player is also known for his family ties: his father Dmitry Bakatin is a well-known Russian oligarch, the son of ex-Minister of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs Vadim Bakatin (Soviet and Russian party statesman, presidential candidate of the RSFSR in the 1991 elections).

Vadim Bakatin - biography of the Russian footballer

Vadim was born on June 24, 1998. Grew up and brought up in a familyoligarch (his father is the chairman of the financial committee for the development of youth football in Russia, the president of the Moscow Football Federation), so from childhood he was provided with all the benefits. At the same time, Vadim was a hardworking guy all his life. At school, he was an excellent student and a role model. In the 4th grade he started playing football, fortunately, it turned out very talented. Throughout the school period of his life, he studied diligently, combining classes with football training. In Russia, Bakatin changed many clubs, both amateur and professional. At the age of sixteen, he graduated from the FSM Football Academy.

Vadim Bakatin in Monaco

At a young age, the talented striker managed to impress everyone with his game in Russia. Some clubs from the RFPL elite showed interest in him. Some ardent fans and fans of the same CSKA or Spartak (clubs that pursued the attention of the young striker) may be surprised to ask where Vadim Bakatin is now? Why not play in Russia? The fact is that Bakatin made a completely different decision about football. After graduating from the football academy, he had a choice - to stay in Russia or try his luck in Europe. Fortunately, Vadim had the opportunity to go to train in the grand teams. As a result, forward Vadim Bakatin managed to highlight his game in England, Spain and Portugal. Next in line were reviews in the French "Monaco", where the Russian young forward demonstrated quality and level. As a result, he was offered a contract, from which he could notrefuse.

About the weather at Monaco Football Club

With the arrival of the U-19 team, Vadim Bakatin immediately met the Italian football star El Sharawi (known for his performances for Milan). They met at the welcome ceremony for new players, because they signed a contract almost at the same time. Unfortunately, Vadim is not yet familiar with the other stars of Monaco, because he almost does not intersect with them. Bakatin plays in the youth team up to nineteen years old, and above there is also the U-21 team, which sometimes trains together with the main team.

Prospects in the Monaco youth team

European football is very different from Russian. Here you can judge by every aspect - from the organizational component to the very quality of the game. The local coaches surprise with their skill and knowledge of the matter. For a young football player, the most comfortable and correct conditions are created here, thanks to which the growth and development of a football player will be visible. The organization of the game of the youth team of Monaco is in no way inferior to the game, for example, of the same French or Portuguese national team. The entire tactical drawing traces the giants. The rest is up to the small - the individual qualities of the player. Luckily, Bakatin has technique, good dribbling and passing, as well as a flair for the game. Here he will learn more than in Russia, because the Monaco youth team is a collection of the most talented and promising players, in cooperation with whom one can become a football professional.

On the contract and the desire to play in Russia

Vadim Dmitrievich Bakatin signed an agreement with the French "Monaco" until 2018. This news makes us surprised and happy for our Russian football player. The fame of Bakatin also led to transfer prosecution - many Russian clubs want to sign a contract with the young forward of the Monegasques, at least they have this in the future. However, Vadim is not going to leave Europe. And rightly so, because the local football provides much more prospects than the domestic one. Now Bakatin's number one goal is to prove himself in the Red-Whites and win as many titles and individual awards as possible. He may have to leave the French club and pursue his career elsewhere in Europe.

Bakatin's football characteristic

Playing for FC Moskva, Vadim Dmitrievich Bakatin was already a locally famous football player (offers were received from the clubs of the French division "League 2"). His game was characterized by incredible speed, agility and good dribbling. At the same time, Vadim is a unique offensive line player. He can equally well play a left or right flank attacker, and is also able to threaten the opponent's goal in the position of a center forward or "sub-forward". Vadim Bakatin and football are one whole, so to speak. The player never slows down and always maintains a balance both at the beginning and at the end of the game. For mysemi-professional career in youth squads scored over a hundred goals and several times became the top scorer of the championship.

Every chance to get to the World Cup 2018

Vadim Bakatin has every chance to get to the World Cup in 2018, which will be held in Russia. The young striker already has some experience of playing for the national team in the youth team. This footballer, despite his youth, can be very useful for the Russian team, which is not having its best years now. Now we are witnessing a total crisis in Russian football, this is expressed both in personnel and in organization. There are really not enough young and promising players. By 2018, Vadim will be twenty years old, and this is quite an acceptable age for the starting lineup. For example, some European footballers became stars just at the age of twenty. There are a lot of such examples, so they are simply not needed.

Life away from football

In life, Bakatin is a very diligent and modest guy. He graduated from the Russian school with a gold medal. Now he is studying at a French school, where he is also doing well. Vadim already knows French perfectly, so he does not experience any difficulties in communicating with coaches and teammates. In addition, the football player copes well with disciplines such as physics and mathematics. Bakatin claims that these are his favorite subjects. You rarely hear this from a Russian footballer…

Vadim has no personal life in the traditional sense of the phrase- a talented striker has not yet found his beloved, so his heart is open. According to Vadim, his priorities are only football, in which he must achieve certain heights, and then start a relationship. We can say that Bakatin is a very ambitious and dreamy guy. It is difficult to imagine who Vadim will be in life when he finishes playing football, but this will not happen soon.
