Ivan Zaytsev (4th movie)

His career started in 2001 when he signed contract with RPA Perugia. He is son of Vyacheslav Zaytsev, player of "gold Soviet team" (he was Olympic, European and World Champion with USSR). Ivan's mother is Russian too: Irina Pozdnyakova, a former competitive swimmer. Ivan was born on 2 October 1988 in Spoleto in Italy, where his father played for several years. At first Ivan was setter, just like his father was. "My father practically never was satisfied with my playing. He was pointing out my mistakes many times, but after match in Belgorod he congratulated me the successful debut." Ivan received Italian citizenship in May 12, 2008. Now he plays as spiker! He scored 283 points in the World League 2013! Several sources claim - there is large possibility that Ivan Zaytsev will play for Dinamo Moscow in the next season. Firstly, Italian Gazzeta wrote that it can be expected that Zaysev sign a three year contract with Dinamo in the summer. After that, Russian Volleyballnews passed the same info, and now F-Sport wrote that their source confirmed Dinamo's enquiry, and that the deal is 90% done. Recall that Zaystev has said in the interview for WoV that he is happy in Macerata, but is also open to any possibility in the future.
