Subsequently, the brother quit training, and Denis stayed.
His first trainers were the parents of volleyball player Sergei Tetyukhin, so the future of the guy was predetermined. In 2005, Biryukov became a player in the Lokomotiv-Belogorye-2 team, which played in the first league of the Russian championship. At the end of the season he was called up to the youth team.
