childhood

Valery, the son of Georgi Gassajew , a construction worker, got into football by a funny coincidence. When Valeri was a year old, following an Ossetian tradition, his parents distributed all kinds of things in front of him. Among them were scissors, notebooks, bread, a piece of cake, and a small soccer ball that lay in the corner of the room. To the surprise of his parents, little Valeri crawled halfway across the room, took the ball and began to look at it. In Ossetia , it is believed that the subject that interests the child most will play a large role in their life, which was the case in Gasayev's case.

Career

At the age of 17 Valeri made his debut in the professional team of Spartak Ordzhonikidze . A few months later he was appointed to the junior national team of the Soviet Union by the then coach Yevgeny Lyadin . The next year, Gassayev had to do his military service and ended up with the army sports club SKA Rostov . About half of around 500 recruits were assigned to normal service, but Gassayev had managed to stay with the team. A little later "Spartak" Ordzhonikidze brought him back.

In the fall of 1975, Igor Volkhok , a recognized trainer at Lokomotiv Moscow, brought Gassayev to his home.
