Diniyar Rinatovich Bilyaletdinov (Russian: Динияр Ринатович Билялетдинов) (born 27 February, 1985) is a Russian football (soccer) midfielder who many consider as a rising star. He currently plays for FC Lokomotiv Moscow and Russia national football team.
Football career
Bilyaletdinov started his career at Lokomotiv Moscow. After making his debut in 2004, Bilyaletdinov became a first team regular. He soon earned a call up to the Russia national football team and now starts in an attacking midfield spot because of Yegor Titov and Dmitry Loskov's international retirement.
A versatile player, Bilyaletdinov can play on the left wing, in the center of the pitch or in his most comfortable position, just behind the strikers as an attacking midfielder. He possesses a good scoring rate and good passing but he is best known for his dribbling and pace.
International career
He played 10 out of 12 UEFA Euro 2008 qualifiers, including both matches versus England. He scored the equalising goal against Israel but the team lost in final minutes, 1-2. In the following match against Andorra, he assisted Dmitri Sychev to score the winning goal. Due to England's defeat that day, Russia advanced to final stages.[1]
