Skontiešu talantīgais aizsargs, viens no Latvijas labākajiem jaunās paaudzes futbolistiem Vitālijs Maksimenko pārceļas uz Angliju.

Makss tagad spēlēs pēc spēka Anglijas otrajā, „Championship” līgā, viņa jaunā mājvieta – „Brighton & Hove Albion”.

Pagājušā gada nogalē Maksimenko devās uz pārbaudi šajā klubā un parādīja teicamu sniegumu, pārsteidzot vietējos trenerus. Pēc nelielām pārrunām abiem klubiem izdevās vienoties par 22 gadus vecā Maksimenko pāreju. Piektdien Makss Anglijā izgāja medicīniskās pārbaudes un tagad noslēgs personīgo līgumu.

Pagājušajā sezonā Maksimenko skontiešu rindās piedalījās 35 spēlēs – 33 no tām viņš laukumā bija no pirmās līdz pēdējai minūtei, bet divās laukumā iznāca uz maiņu. Viņa kontā divi vārti šajos mačos. Pagājušajā sezonā Maksimenko atzina par Latvijas virslīgas labāko aizsargu un viņš iekļuva sezonas simboliskajā izlasē.

„Brighton & Hove Albion” šobrīd Anglijas „Championship” līgā atrodas devītajā vietā, 25 spēlēs komanda tikusi pie 37 punktiem.

Maksimenko jaunā darba vieta ir ar senām tradīcijām, klubs dibināts 1901.gadā, bet līdzjutēji komandu dēvē par „Seagulls” jeb „Kaijām”. Komandu trenē bijušais Urugvajas izlases spēlētājs Gustavo Augusto Pojets Domingess jeb Guss Pojets.

„Skonto” novēl Maksimenko jauku lidojumu kā „Kaiju” jaunajam spēlētājam! Veiksmi, Makss!!!

Associates of our previous shirt sponsors "Skinto FC"

 

[Grombleton]

By the sounds of it, i think he'll only be in the dev squad for a short time to understand the philosophy Gus has brought in. Once he's up to speed with how we play he'll be pushing for a place.

All sounds good.

 

[Beach Hut]

Excellent signing by the looks of things and another different national at the Amex

 

[finlaych]

Maksimenko woooaaa

Another one to go in the Bermuda Triangle that is the development squad!!!!!! Any danger of actually seeing any of these players near the first team!!!! This Latvian is wanted by loads of clubs and we've put him in the development squad? He's 22 not 16, if he isn't good enough to go in the first team then why the hell are we buying him??!!

This is a very good point..... and those that attend the press conferences should be asking pointed and searching questions about this type of issue, not dull questions about pre match prep etc.

You may have a point if we had signed him from Barcelona, Swansea etc
He needs time to adapt to our way of playing, so a period playing games in the development squad is the way.
One for the future hopefully.

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

He didn't star in Tenko
He's Vitalijs Maximenko
La la la la
La la la la

One for the oldies, there ...

 

[daveyboy1973]

One for the future?? Like all the others in the development squad that have never appeared!! I.e agdestein, surely he must be ready by now??

 

[bluenitsuj]

Signed for the Development Squad, as suspected

This. We sign more players for the devolopment squad than the first team squad. Only signings for the first team count for me.

 

[Hyperion]

Some of you seem to think a develoment squad is something that can produce over night. Why did we sign him if he is not good enough for the first team? Dear oh dear. The new training academy will take a good few years before it starts producing. It is a long term plan. We had a lot over young players coming though in the latter part of the Goldstone years but quite frankly that was because we were shocking and skint.

Maksimenko are players the next step up for the Dev Squad in terms of quality and as Poyet stated it is a plan to bridge the gap between them and the 1st team. In a few years the quality of the Dev squad will be much better than it is now. Brighton are not going to be the boom and bust club like others. Hence the larger proportion of investment is in the Academy rather throwing huge money at instant success is the plan. It will provide stability and quality long term.

In 1975 we signed a promising player.
Initially he played in the reserves not making his debut until 27 March 1976 against Hereford United.
Peter Ward was his name.

Albion Sign Vitalijs Maksimenko

Albion have signed Latvian defender Vitalijs Maksimenko on a two-and-a-half year contract, which will run until the summer of 2015...

The 22-year-old joined from Latvian League side Skonto Riga and will initially join up with the club’s development squad.

Albion boss Gus Poyet told seagulls.co.uk, “He is a player we have been aware of for a while and we feel he has got the potential to bring more quality to our first-team in the future.

“He is a young defender who has quality on the ball. He will train with the development squad group under the guidance of Luke Williams to learn about the way we play here, then it’s up to him to earn his place in the first team.”

Maksimenko has already featured for Albion’s development squad side in a friendly against Barnet while on trial at the end of November and he is delighted to make the move to Brighton.

He added, “I am so happy to come to Brighton and to join this Championship team. The atmosphere at the club, the pitches and the stadium itself are all fantastic.

“I enjoyed the trial and waited for around four weeks to hear from the club, but when I did hear the good news I was so happy. They play good football here and don’t play the ball long so often, which suits me.

“When I was young I was always looking out for Latvian players in the Premier League and now I keep a close eye on Kaspars Gorkss at Reading because he’s the best defender in Latvia.

“I watched the game against Bristol City earlier this season and the stadium is amazing. I was watching the players, coaches, the fans and it’s all amazing. I am very excited at the challenge ahead.”
