Lionel Adams: Biography

He was born in 1994 in Moscow. His father emigrated from Nigeria back in the days of the Soviet Union, when the two countries had allied treaties. In his youth, Lionel's father was fond of football and even played for a local club. However, moving and adapting to life in a new country and cultural environment forced him to give up his passion. After marrying a Russian girl, he had two sons. Since childhood, both were instilled in the love of sport. The eldest son Lyukman became a rather successful athlete, performing at stayer distances. Lionel Adams followed in the footsteps of his father and began to engage in football.

Still a teenager, he was admitted to the children's and youth sports school of the capital's CSKA. The young man demonstrates excellent results, and double coaches pay attention to him. At the age of eighteen, Lionel Adams stands for CSKA's doubling squad. Playing on a par with age-old teammates, he secures a place in the starting lineup. The player is attracted to the youth national team of Russia.

First transfer

However, the huge competition in the leading club of the country did not allow the young guy to get into the main team. Therefore, in 2014, it is leased to the Krasnoyarsk club "Yenisei", which acts in the second league of Russia. But in the new team Lionel Adams for a long time does not stay. Adjusted for the attacking style of Krasnoyarsk he failed. Therefore, in 2015, he again changes the club, moving to the Tver "Volga". In blue and white, the young man played five games, showing a good game.

Lionel Adams plays the position of the central and right defender. Its crown "chip" is a tough selection. Many football commentators compare Adams with the British "rock" Rio Ferdinand. However, in addition to positive moments, such an uncompromising game on the field also brings a negative result. In the game against "Tekstilschika" Adams earned two "yellow card" for the game and was removed from the field until the end of regular time, leading his team.

Playing in the second league

In the summer of 2015, the "Volga" begins financial problems, and it leaves Lionel Adams. A football player becomes a free agent. Until the end of the transfer window, he was never able to find a suitable club for his ambitions, so he signs a contract with FC KAMAZ. For the season he played only two meetings. The career seemed almost over. However, during the winter off-season, selectors of the Armenian club Banants pay attention to him (the photo below shows his stadium). "Black and yellow" appear in the first division and occupy a leading position in it. Lionel Adams stands for the double. Nevertheless, Armenian experts predict a great future for the young man. His aggressive game approaches the style of "Banants". In addition to the ability to select the ball, Adams is a pretty fast football player.
