The beginning of the career of football player Georgy Shchennikov
Already in 2008, the young footballer began to play for CSKA, and became the basis of this team. He made his debut in an away match against Torpedo. It was a match of one sixteenth Cup of the country. This was followed by a match against Baltika, which the footballer played from start to finish.
Another cup game was the third match that he played in the main team of Shchennikov. It was a UEFA Cup game against Deportivo. The football player appeared on the field only at the end of the second half in the eighty-sixth minute, coming on as a substitute. Muscovites won a landslide victory, the score was three-zero. In February, the player again spent the entire match on the field. It was a game against Aston Villa in the same tournament.

In 2014, Georgy scored during the match with Terek – it was one fourth of the Russian Cup. It is Shchennikov who scored the decisive goal in the one hundred and eleventh minute. As part of the red-blue, this goal was the first for George. Despite the fact that the football player has only one goal, he is considered one of the strongest players in the CSKA defense line. The fact is that the number of goals scored in the goal is not a significant indicator for the defender, moreover, this indicator is only of secondary importance.

The guys performed like real actors, among them were Akinfeev, Slutsky and other football players. There was a twenty-minute funny show.
George spent the recovery time after the injury to good use. For six months, he “cleaned up” all the tails at the Academy of Physical Education, passing some tests in advance. The teachers noted that the footballer began to excel not only in sports, but also in studies. The young man has not yet decided what he will do at the end of his career. After the injury, when there was a lot of free time, he became interested in economics, and thought about getting a second education later. It is quite possible that in the future Shchennikov will consider such a perspective as coaching.
