The guys won the Urals Cup and performed splendidly at the Russian children's football championship. Sychev himself, playing in a position under the attackers, scored many goals and attracted the attention of the country's leading schools.
As a result, the promising teenager ended up in the St. Petersburg Academy "Smena" and began to be called up under the banner of the Russian national team born in 1983. Dmitry's coaches noted that already at that time the guy stood out for his diligence and talent, but most importantly, which rarely happens with juniors, he carefully listened to the requirements and recommendations of the mentors. During his formation, Sychev acquired his own sports style. His shots on the ball are equally effective, whether Dmitry scores with a right or left.

As part of this team, Dima won the bronze medal in 2003 at the French Championship.Time passed, and the footballer did not have a place in the permanent composition of the Marseille team, he continued to sit on the bench. Sychev understood that time was running out, and there were fewer goals and less training opportunities. At the beginning of 2003, Dima was included in the Russian national team. He considered his goal at that time to be the European Championship in Portugal.
During the off-season in 2004, Sychev went to Russia, where in Lokomotiv he began to score one goal after another, thus proving that he deserves a place in the national team.
Dmitry Sychev in Lokomotiv Moscow
At the beginning of 2004, the footballer signed a three-year contract with the capital Lokomotiv. He became a striker who managed to close the team's most problematic line.

It is possible that in the future a girl named Anna will become his wife. They have been together for quite a long time. She can often be seen at the games, where she comes to cheer for her boyfriend.
Why was Dmitry Sychev blown away?
Football
Sovetsky Sport turned to the experts who watched Dmitry Sychev both inside the team and from the outside: what made him a top forward and for what reasons went into the shadows?
1. How do you remember the early Sychev?
2. Do you think that Dmitry is last years lost ground as a footballer, and why?
3. Does business interfere with him as a footballer?
4. How do you see its future?
Andrey CHERVICHENKO, ex-president of Spartak:
1 It was a boy - in the very good sense words. Purity in the eyes. Naivety. Talent. Striving to win. He was shocked by the very fact of being enrolled in Spartak. I can pick up a lot more positive epithets - and all this will be about him. When we signed a five-year contract with Sychev, we were aware that we were not mistaken.
And in the summer of 2002 it happened famous story... Sychev's side went into conflict, trying to break football system... Since then, I did not even think to reconsider my positions: as president, I was absolutely right in defending the interests of the club, trampled upon by the young man. He received all the conditions in Spartak, which were improved during the season either three or five times. I understand: Dima's head was fooled by his dad and other people who wanted to make money. The guy could not resist them.
2 Yes, now it's a different footballer. A natural process takes place: the body does not get younger, motivation is lost, moreover, serious money has already been earned. The laws of nature are at work: the flower has opened, and wilting is inevitable.
3 I heard that Sychev is doing business. This is his own business. Naturally, football gradually began to fade into the background, because soon it will have to end with it. I don’t think money can ruin it. This happens in early youth. Closer to thirty, the players have an epiphany and the realization that everything will end soon.
4 He is also a capable DJ and restaurateur. Maybe he will be lucky in these directions.
Vladimir Beschastnykh, ex-forward of Spartak:
1 He was not immediately impressed. He came to us without understanding the Spartak game. Dima got a lot from us. Including from me. Stubborn, focused, moved a lot, but ... did not understand much. He moved chaotically, rushing forward, although the attack was not yet prepared. Flirted with the ball: he runs with it and does not give it up. But he scored goals when his partners gave him passes. “Dim, you must understand, you cannot play like that. If everyone starts doing this, we will be left without result, ”I explained to him.
2 I can't imagine that Sychev began to train badly. He is diligent. Maybe some kind of uncertainty appeared? If to me, he looks fine. And not at all old.
3 It's not our mind's business, as they say. But the words of my acquaintances, businessmen, come to mind. They say that a lot of time and emotional costs are spent on making a project successful. Therefore, the leaders of Western top clubs try to make sure that the player does not think about anything other than football.
4 It's not a fact that Pavlyuchenko and Caicedo will immediately start scoring. Therefore, everything depends on Dmitry himself. We must not give up, even if the competition is tough. This is not "Spartak" ten years ago, in which everything was cleared for Dima. If Spartak extended their contract with Robson, it is not known whether he would have made his debut in Spartak at the age of 18.
Yuri SEMIN, ex-head coach of Lokomotiv:
1 We invited Sychev before the start of the 2004 championship. Besides skill, he showed very strong motivation. I think this happened against the background of a not very successful stage in his career in France, where he rarely entered the field.
It was amazing how good Dima was at stroking. A very smart guy. Inside the penalty area, he knew literally everything and predictably became our top scorer. We made full use of all its qualities. I will not say that the game was built exclusively for Sychev, but the development of the attack meant its completion by Sychev. Dima's contribution to the 2004 championship is enormous.
2 I have my own vision. Coaches are constantly changing, everyone has their own opinion. In addition, a serious injury sustained in 2005 affected. Strength training affected his agility, to some extent it was lost. But other advantages appeared: Dima began to perform a huge amount of work for the team. Lokomotiv can count on this volume even today.
3 Everything that is in Dima's life only helps him in football. He is a versatile person, well-versed in life. When I was with him, he was always a "regime officer."
4 Sychev will start to score.
Vladimir ABRAMOV, sports agent:
1 I remember his tears at the World Championships in Japan. The Russian national team arrived there without a soul. Dmitry's Spartak teammates lost their ambitions and lost their shame. And Sychev came to Japan to show himself. After the game with Belgium, he cried out of despair, because he had such helpless partners.
2 The guy put in a lot of work to convince us of great talents at the beginning of his career. He treated football with soul. But in fact, he is an average footballer. He began to deflate three years ago, and now he is completely deflated. Sychev had to sell and buy another striker. Loko could have played differently. By keeping the middle player, the club did big step back. If I were a coach, I would have removed him immediately to prevent regression of the team.
The extension of the contract with Sychev is not the opinion of Smorodskaya. Sychev is a gray cardinal. Something deep and long-term connects him with the club. What exactly - we can only guess.
3 Lokomotiv has two famous football player: Loskov and Sychev. Both look sullenly. It is disturbing to peer into such faces: what is in their souls? When a person is closed and uncommunicative, I do not want to know what is happening in his non-football life.
4 I don't see anything. The contract will be in effect, and that's it.

"Golden Boy" Russian football, famous tears after the departure of the national team from the World Cup in 2002, scandalous departure from Spartak, playing for Marseille, championship with Lokomotiv, title best player the Russian championship, the role of the captain of the "railroad workers" - these were the milestones in Dmitry's career, and it was difficult to imagine that a footballer of this status would be left without a team at all and would play at the level of the amateur league.
But the further professional fate of Sychev turned out exactly like this, and it seemed that there was nothing to think about the resurrection of the former glory. Loko fans still love him, but in recent years even the regulars of the stadium in Cherkizovo have come to terms with the fact that their favorite will not return.
And he took it and returned. Of course, not to the first team, but now the fans again have the hope of seeing their idol in the Lokomotiv shirt.
The management of the red-greens announced that the club is betting on its pupils. An important part of the process of the formation of young footballers in Loko is considered playing at the senior level, hence the idea arose to recreate the second team, which the former president considered unnecessary.
The farm club got the name "Kazanka" and was declared in the PFL, the third most powerful division. The team, headed by Loko, who coached the youth team, was tasked with entering the FNL, and this is a very serious goal. It is clear that the squad will be formed almost exclusively from young people, but an experienced leader, a leader who will help young players adapt to adult football, will not hurt either.
It is clear that the invitation of 33-year-old Sychev is partly a demonstrative move. Demonstrative in a good way. The club honors traditions and remembers those people who forged the glory of the modern Lokomotiv. The whole country associates the main successes of the "railroad workers" with names, and Dmitry Sychev - they all returned to Cherkizovo.
If Semin continues to prove his coaching viability, and Loskov, having spent a touching farewell match in the spring, is just beginning the path of a mentor, then Sychev wants to continue playing.
Although many in his place would have given up long ago. Let's remember how Dmitry's career developed after Lokomotiv. The 2012/13 season put an end to the long-term romance between Sychev and Loko. The then coach of the red-greens Slaven Bilic preferred to bet on, and Lady N "Doye, and there was no time best football player Russia spent the entire season in a sitting position.
Bilich left, but in Cherkizovo they no longer counted on Sychev. Lokomotiv continued to pay the striker a huge salary, and Dmitry went to play in Minsk Dynamo.
Sychev could reboot his career in the Premier League in next year, but as a result, together with his new team, "Volga", he drowned in a swamp standings and flew out of the Premier League. On the personal front, so to speak, it is even worse: zero goals in 16 league games.
The long-awaited goal scoring took place only on April 25, 2015, and this goal was the first in two years (!), But it happened already in Kazakhstan's Okzhetpes, in another loan from Loko, where the forward was still on the contract. This ball was the only one in the Kazakh period of Dmitry's career.
Several times Sychev had to refute the information that he had given up football. Dmitry wanted to play, but no one needed him. For some time the player disappeared from the radar, and then reappeared ... in Lokomotiv, where else? But that was the beach Lokomotiv.
This turn gave rise to many caustic comments: they say, we always knew that Sychev prefers warm sand, sun, good drinks and DJ sets to the work of a professional football player.
However, this opinion seems absolutely unfair. At some point, Dmitry really lost his former goal instinct, and the unsuccessful recovery from the injury deprived the striker of sharpness and speed, but every coach Sychev worked with noted a professional attitude to training. Yes, and on the field, the striker tried his best, but psychological problems, often destroying forwards, whose game is based on the feeling of a goal, only worsened, and Dmitry could not overcome the black streak in any way.
Do not underestimate the beachfront Lokomotiv. This team is the flagship of Russian beach football, where, unlike the big one, the teams delight fans with serious international successes.
Hence the next step down for Sychev - not being included in the team's application for the first stage of the Super League. And a new portion of jokes, although, to tell the truth, the majority of fans for Dmitry already had a predominant feeling of pity. They even scoffed without anger, albeit caustically: how is it, why didn't Sychev succeed in the beach, there are no offside positions?
But he wanted to play. And he was ready to do it anywhere. New challenge - LFL, amateur league Moscow, where they play in the 8 vs 8. format Dmitry was announced for Atlantis, where, by the way, a good company gathered:, and a number of other players who flashed in the Premier League.
Loyal fans of Sychev followed the striker in the LFL. It turned out that the ex-striker of the Russian national team remembered how to implement the chances. Dmitry scored some pretty goals and helped Atlantis win the Moscow Champions League.
However, it seemed that this is still just another stage in the extinction of Sychev the football player. But now Dmitry has gotten a chance again. The forward himself, who did not hide his emotions at the presentation, admitted that he had not even read the contract, and signed it without hesitation for a moment.
At the event, Sychev also crossed paths with Yuri Semin, who opaquely hinted that the club was counting on Dmitry's return to the first team. The president of the “railroad workers” said that everything depends on Sychev himself, and the hero of the day promised that he would not let his native club down and demonstrated the new outfit of the team with his favorite number 11.
As for the main Lokomotiv, the team continues to prepare for the Super Cup match, and the offseason was marked by the fact that the club managed to retain its leaders: Ari, Solomon Kverkveliy. The contracts with Taras Mikhalik and many young footballers have been extended.
As for the newcomers, the breeders are working on signing a defender and a flank striker; otherwise, Semin considers the current squad to be quite capable of competing for a place in the top five and performing well in the Europa League.
It is likely that Sychev will also be allowed to perform with dignity. For now, Dmitry will try to prove himself at Kazanka, and even if it turns out to be not very effective, there is no doubt that Lokomotiv will beautifully say goodbye to its legend, at least in the same way as Loskov's farewell was arranged. In the meantime, Sychev will ensure attendance at the Kazanka matches, because this was probably one of the reasons for inviting the veteran.
Recall that in total, Sychev played 224 matches with Loko, scoring 73 goals, Dmitry played 47 games for the Russian national team, in which he scored 15 times.
