In the semi-finals with Spartak, Pogrebnyak tore his Achilles. But this did not stop him from coming to Volgograd to watch the final in a playful manner from the Tosno bench. When referee Karasev spread his hands, ending the match, it was Pavel who turned out to be the main character on the field. He hugged his partners and congratulated them like an older comrade. It's obvious who the leader is on this team. After the game I called Pogrebnyak to continue our previous conversation.
After the victory over Spartak, you said: “The Russian Cup is the only trophy that I don’t have.” What emotions do you feel now that you have closed this question?
- I’ve been playing football since I was six years old, I gave it 30 years. And for good reason. Winning the final is what we play for, what we live for. It's all about moments like these. Indeed, the Russian Cup is the only trophy that I didn’t have. I am grateful to the team for this victory, I am proud of them. I am very glad that I ended up in Tosno.
- You won almost everything you can. How to motivate yourself further?
- Motivation? Hmm... I’ll find motivation, the main thing is to recover quickly. I am a maximalist and want to win everything I can every season. It is clear that this is difficult and in some cases even unrealistic, nevertheless we must strive for this. I want there to be as many moments as today in my life as possible.
The first goal today was scored by Alexey Skvortsov. Did you know that in 2005 he won the Russian championship among orphanages?
- No, he will tell me about this later. Lyokha did a very good job - he scored an important goal. You could see how his legs were cramping in the 55th minute. He's a great guy.
- Mirzov scored the winning goal. What did you say to him when you hugged on the field after the match?
- That he fully deserved this goal. It’s good that we have Mirzov on our team, who is capable of taking over the game, sharpening things up and creating a goal out of nothing.
- Was Dmitry Parfenov very nervous on the bench waiting for the final whistle?
- We were all nervous, Vladimirych was no exception. He has already won three cups as a player during his career (two - in Ukraine, as part of the Odessa "Chernomorets", one - in Russia, as part of the Moscow "Spartak". - Note "Championship"). Today he took his first trophy as a coach. We must congratulate him, he deserves it. For this reason, we worked very hard at the training camp. I respect this man. This cup is for all of us who were involved in this victory.
The head coach did not answer the question about licensing the club to participate in the Europa League. At the same time, the RFU clearly stated: “Tosno” will definitely not compete in European competitions due to debts.
- There are many examples when clubs that did not have time to pass licensing in time ended up doing so. With the help of your country or someone else. Again, the European Cup finals have not yet been played. I think it's not too late to fix everything. Of course, if this was decided in advance, then there are no questions. But if not, then the situation can be replayed.
- “Spartak” was in the semi-finals, and now it’s “Avangard”. The penultimate RFPL team plays with the middle peasant of the FNL in the Russian Cup final. Doesn't this look weird?
- I liked the words of Slutsky: “Only those who were eliminated early talk about the unimportance of the Cup.” Yes, perhaps the finale was not very high-status. But the two strongest teams met and went the furthest. Avangard proved today that they are an excellent team, especially in the first half: they know how to control the ball and create dangerous moments. The price of victory does not become less depending on the opponent’s status. It doesn’t matter who is opposing you - Spartak or Avangard. We beat a strong team.
- Colleague Puchkov, who worked for the “Championship” in Volgograd, admires Kursk fans. How do you like them?
- Loud guys. Just yesterday, when I arrived, I felt how cool they were. Completely fed up with how they support their team. I heard them personally. Just Kursk nightingales (a stable colloquial expression applied to good singers. - Note from “Championship”).
- Have you heard Tosno fans?
- And how. Special thanks to them. I would like to congratulate all of St. Petersburg, the entire Leningrad region and the city of Tosno on this common victory.
- By the way, about the fans. Did you notice that after the first half the stands were about a third empty?
- No, where did everyone go?
- Before the game, free tickets were distributed, perhaps someone was brought to the football against their will.
- I didn’t notice anything like that. The final was a success, the stadium was crazy. God grant that Volgograd hosts more than one Russian Cup final.
You played in Germany and England, where there are many wonderful stadiums. Which of them can be compared with the arena in Volgograd?
- For some reason, I have a parallel with the stadium in Brighton. Although it is smaller, they seem to be somewhat similar.
- The last question is about health. How is the recovery going?
“In a couple of weeks, we’ll throw off the crutches and begin active recovery.” I hope to return to football as soon as possible. I want to do what I love and help the team.
It is difficult now to find another Russian football player as despicable as Pogrebnyak. “Sokker.ru” tracks the stages in Pavel’s career, which is most likely completed.
Dynamo found an opportunity to end cooperation with Pogrebnyak, who for two and a half years had been extracting a lot of money from the Moscow club without bringing any benefit. But Pavel was not always like this; there are some glorious pages in his biography. But it is all the more surprising that the forward, who heroically beat Bayern and won the UEFA Cup, made his mark in the Bundesliga and the Premier League, is at the end of his career from a football player with healthy sporting ambitions turned into a football gigolo.
"Spartacus"
Pogrebnyak studied at the Spartak school from the age of six, but the start of his career fell on the unkind times for the “red-whites” in the early 2000s. The odious Chervichenko reigned in the club, and in the team there was a bacchanalia with bromantane and a bunch of incomprehensible foreign players, on whom someone made good money. Then Pavel’s only desire was to play and develop, so he did not disdain traveling on loan - he looked into the FNL, where he played for Baltika and Khimki, and in 2005 he played for Shinnik. “Spartak” never gave its pupil a normal chance to prove himself, only at Nevio Scala did the forward play more or less regularly, but at the beginning of 2006, the “red-whites” considered it best to sell Pogrebnyak to Tom for 2 million euros, clearly underestimating the character and class of Pavel, whose career after the final break with “ Spartak" went uphill.
"Tom"
The breakthrough was the season at Tom, where the 22-year-old striker during the year he scored 14 goals in 26 matches, received a call-up to the Russian national team and an invitation from Zenit, which became a powerful force with the arrival of a new sponsor. Pogrebnyak’s cost in just one season in Tomsk jumped to 5 million euros - that’s how much the “blue-white-blues” paid for the Spartak graduate, whom Dick Advocaat drew the attention of. Experience, intuition and nose did not let the Dutch coach down, and Pogrebnyak did not let Zenit down.
"Zenith"
In his debut season for Zenit, Pogrebnyak scored 17 goals in all tournaments and became the champion, and the St. Petersburg team was ahead of Spartak in the race for the gold, before which Pavel, at the time of winning the gold, completely took revenge for the unfair treatment. This was important for Pogrebnyak, because there is even a video from an airplane where the forward calls a certain Spartak fan and shouts into the phone: "We are champions! We are champions!" Paul played a significant role in winning each of the four titles with Zenit: in the matches for the UEFA and Russian Super Cups, he did not leave the field without goals, and in the victorious UEFA Cup campaign he shared the laurels of top scorer with Luca Toni (10 goals each), and scored at really critical moments. In the confrontation with Villarreal in the 1/16 finals, he brought a home victory (1:0) and scored on the road, where Zenit lost 1:2, but advanced. Against Marseille, when it was bloody to win at Petrovsky after 1:3 away, Pogrebnyak scored a double. He scored against Bayer on the road - that goal swung the match in favor of Zenit, and he scored twice against Bayern in a memorable match (4:0).
"Stuttgart"
Pogrebnyak was annoyed to miss the UEFA Cup final due to too many yellow cards, and Euro 2008 due to injury, but it was he, and not Pavlyuchenko, who was initially seen in the squad by Guus Hiddink. At the same time, despite his success with Zenit and a good salary in St. Petersburg, Pogrebnyak dreamed of conquering Europe, like the epic Russian heroes of the 90s. Pavel, unlike today's dreamers, wanted to go to any club from the top championship in order to get hooked. Everton, Blackburn, Marseille, Bolton and Werder Bremen were interested in him, but in the end the forward moved to Stuttgart, although he never ceased to emphasize that his main goal was the Premier League. Pogrebnyak has never been a highly productive forward; his role is that of a hard-working striker: grab the ball, play with his body, give his teammates precious time to launch an attack. In terms of goals scored, Pavel in the Bundesliga he played in spurts, however, he scored 21 goals in 88 matches. And went to the Premier League.
Fulham
Obviously, by the last season of his contract with Stuttgart, Pogrebnyak lost motivation. In half a season, he appeared on the field 16 times and scored 1 goal, so the Swabians considered it beneficial in the winter, six months before the end of the contract, to receive 500 thousand from the English Fulham for renting the striker. Pogrebnyak spent a short but bright period as part of the “dacha residents”. Firstly, he scored in his debut match, immediately winning over the audience, and soon scored a hat-trick against Wolverhampton. 12 matches in the Premier League, 6 goals – and this striker entered the summer as a free agent.
"Reading"
The best conditions were offered by Reading, to which Pogrebnyak joined. His play was not stable; during the season he scored 8 goals in all tournaments, and the Hoops left the Premier League. But Pavel remained in the team and ran in the Championship for two more years, sometimes scoring, sometimes being “silent” for a long time, but in any case During his three-year odyssey at Reading, he played 106 matches and scored 28 times.. Not a stellar figure, but Pogrebnyak was never a star.
"Dynamo"
But he remained a famous Russian striker with serious experience. Dynamo fell for this hook, not considering the emerging signs of decomposition. The Blue and White returned Pogrebnyak to his homeland, gave him a solid contract (about 2 million euros per year), and in return received a single goal - against Spartak in a lost match. And this - in two and a half years! It is clear that a football player could not have dropped so much in skill level overnight, and age has nothing to do with it. Pogrebnyak is now 34 years old. Terrible! His peer Fabio Quagliarella is in third place in the list of scorers in Serie A, scoring 16 goals. Pavel simply lost interest in football, for the time being he did not give the club any formal reasons to fire him, but at the end of the contract he completely let go, since he allowed himself a trip to the Derby of Italy instead of fulfilling his contractual obligations to Dynamo. This incident was the last straw, because of which other misconduct surfaced, which led to. However, Pogrebnyak is unlikely to be very upset - he only stayed out for a few months. Everyone would like to meet such a sinecure in life!
I can’t imagine who could set their sights on Pogrebnyak after his great tenure at Dynamo. If he manages his affairs competently, then Pavel has already provided for himself until the end of his days, and his interest in football, it seems, remains only as a fan (after all, he visited Turin to watch the Juventus - Inter match). It seems that now there is simply nothing left to do but hang up the boots. Pogrebnyak's career is ruined, as is his reputation. The football player, once blazing with sporting ambitions, has sunk to the very bottom, losing everything except the money. Even honor.
Pavel Pogrebnyak is currently undergoing rehabilitation after an injury received in April. He will join the Ural team in mid-September.
ON THIS TOPIC
The athlete flew to Yekaterinburg with his wife Maria to sign the contract. However, according to sources, she will not stay in this city. “Pavel’s family will remain in Moscow, and they will visit each other,” Ura.ru quotes its insider.
Pogrebnyak’s wife is a well-known lover of luxurious life. A woman is happy to go out into the world and show off her rich jewelry and outfits. Maria is the heroine of gossip columns; 850 thousand people follow her Instagram page.
Football player Roman Pavlyuchenko, who played for Ural from 2016 to 2017, did the same thing. He saw his family on weekends. But the ex-player of this team, Fedor Smolov, and his now ex-wife, model Victoria Lopyreva, lived in the Ural capital together.
Pavel Pogrebnyak played for the capital's Dynamo from August 2015 to 2017. His earnings were then 2.5 million euros per year. During this time he scored only one goal. Then Pogrebnyak played in Tosno Leningrad, where he scored three goals.
