Biography
Football is rightly considered the most popular sport in the world. As the proof, you can bring the fact that during the World Cup, all bars are clogged with fans, asked the views on the TV screen and frantically roaring with every goal scored - no matter in whose gates. Any of these fans know the composition of the favorite team and will easily list the iconic events in its history, however, the biography of individual football players remains a mystery even for devotees. As, for example, in the case of Bragoislav Ivanovich.Childhood and youth
A future footballer was born in the small Yugoslav city of Sremska-Mitrovica. It happened on February 22, 1984. Branislava can be called an offacarious football player, because his father, Rada Ivanovich, also played football at a professional level. It was he who instilled his son's love for this sport. About the mother, Slavica Ivanovich, practically nothing is known.
Parents immediately saw the talent in the child and gave it to the local football section. The tense political situation in the country and the fighting was delivered to the family of Ivanovich many problems, but it did not beat the boy's desire to become a professional footballer. In 2002, he was already playing for the local team "Srem", in a year it was lit up as part of the youth team "Repair", from where almost immediately got into the OFK. After several successful matches in Serbian Super League, Branislava spoke and outside the Motherland.
Football
The first to decide to bring the guy to the global level, the owners of the Moscow club "Lokomotiv" became the owners of the Moscow Club. This happened in 2006. As Branislav himself remembers when his agent called and reported on the proposal of Lokomotiv, Ivanovich agreed without thinking.
"I loved Moscow still at school and then I realized that I ever visited this city," recalled the football player in his interview for EuroSport.As part of the Moscow team, the footballer has time to become the owner of the Cup of Russia and the first place in the list of 33 of the best football players of the Russian Championship - both events occurred in 2007.
By 2008, the contract ended. The press began to be interested in - to whom Branislav will go. Ivanovich himself strongly wanted to get to Milan (and Milan wanted to see Ivanovich in its composition), the media strongly stated that the defender will take "Juventus", but neither "Milan" nor "Juventus", nor the more "International "And" Ajax "fails to move the football player to himself. But it is possible to the English club Chelsea for 9 million pounds.
A long period of time Branislav is part of the backup, while sitting down during the games on the replacement bench. The situation changes when changing the coach - Luis Felipe Skolary began to produce Ivanovich to protect the Chelsea Defense line. Then Branislav scores the first goals - in April 2009 during the game with Liverpool.
The 2009-2010 season is considered the peak of Branislav's career as part of Chelsea, because he played mostly to compensate for the team's loss in the face of the injured Jose Bosings. This season brings Ivanovich Cup and Super Cup of England. Next season, the footballer again moved to the background, periodically returning to the basis of 2012, 2013 and 2015.
The manner of the game (but not behavior as a whole) Branislava is aggressive - which is worth one mention of the case with the midfielder Shon Maloney. However, Ivanovich was periodically delivered - in 2013, during the match with Liverpool, His Uruguianlis Suarez was bitten. This conflict later was resolved peacefully.
In February 2017, the football player returned to Russia again. This time the contract was signed with St. Petersburg Zenit. According to the conditions, Branislav will play two and a half years in the team. Ivanovich these conditions are arranged. The first commentary of the football player as part of the new team was as follows:
"Zenit has a definitely better stadium than Chelsea. And it is cool. "Personal life
Many football players, using their position, flirt with the most beautiful models of the world, but Branislav Ivanovich does not apply to them. The reason is simple - the football player married back in 2008, before he became world famous.
Ivanovich does not regret it at all, arguing that his wife Natasha and Son Stefan are the best in the world. On the question of whether children in their family are planned, the football player modestly smiles.
Branislav Ivanovich now
Since February 2017, Branislav Ivanovich trains, preparing for the next football season as part of a new team. Branislav is worried, so sometimes in his spare time goes to Moscow, together with friends, sideways and Vladimir Yovovich, sit in the restaurant "Botik Peter", where their countrymen often gather.
According to the football player, it is possible to eat here (what Ivanovich feeds weakness), and it is interesting to communicate. In addition to Beauty and Jovovich, Branislav loves to see in his spare time and with Andrei Shevchenko, with whom he became friends in Chelsea. Social networks footballer does not like.
"Neither" Facebook "nor" Twitter ", nor in" Instagram "I do not," he says.But the scounts of Natasha's wife can be easily found in Facebook and Odnoklassniki. In these accounts there are photos where the family of Ivanovich is fun to spend time. Branislav keeps himself in shape. Now the weight of Ivanovich is 86 kilograms (growth - 185 centimeters), which is quite comfortable in such a moving sport.
