Brothers in Football: Vyacheslav Hleb

Vyacheslav Hleb, a 24-year-old striker for the Belarusian national team, is often introduced as the younger brother of Arsenal midfielder Alexander Hleb. However, Vyacheslav is also making a name for himself in his own right.

Unexpected Appearance at the Commonwealth Cup

Currently playing for Kaunas of Lithuania at the Commonwealth Cup in Moscow, Vyacheslav's presence came as a surprise. He spent the previous season on loan at MTZ-RIPO in Minsk, Belarus. However, Vyacheslav's loan agreement expired, and he was recalled to Kaunas by club owner Vladimir Romanov to bolster their squad for the tournament.

Seasoned Veteran and Role Model

Vyacheslav has provided significant experience to the Kaunas team, despite his recent arrival. "I help the team in any way I can," he said. His contributions extend beyond his performance on the field, as he offers guidance to younger and even more seasoned players like Givi Kvaratskhelia.

Career Ambitions

Vyacheslav's future plans include a move to Scottish club Hearts in the summer. A potential contract with Hearts in the past fell through due to insufficient international appearances for a British work visa. He believes that by playing in the Belarusian league, he will meet the remaining requirement and earn a spot on the Scottish squad.

The Role of Alexander Hleb

Vyacheslav's older brother plays a significant role in his career. "He advises me to join Hearts," he said. While they rarely see each other, they communicate regularly. Alexander also encourages Vyacheslav to improve his temperament, which he believes hindered his time at Hamburg.

Future Potential and Ambition

Despite not being a regular starter for the Belarusian national team, Vyacheslav believes he has earned his place as a substitute and is determined to prove his worth. Furthermore, he believes he has the potential to surpass his brother's achievements if he follows his guidance. However, he remains cautious and acknowledges the need to improve both on and off the field.
