Pogrebnyak Pavel - one of the key Russian strikers of the 2007-08 season

Pogrebnyak Pavel is a Russian striker,speaking at the moment for the Moscow "Dynamo". He has a number of significant achievements, some of which have not yet been available to any domestic football player.

Start a professional career

Pasha was born in Moscow on 08.11.1983. It was here that he and his brothers learned to play football. According to many who are versed in football, Pavel Pogrebnyak and his family are professionals in their field. Both his brothers play in the Premier League:

• Cyril - "Tom;
• Nicholas - "Torpedo".

At the age of six, his father took him to a children's school "Spartacus." Twelve years later, upon reaching his 18th birthday, he first entered the field as part of the reserve team of the club.

Well proven in qualityattacker, after a year he falls into the main line-up. For the next 2 seasons he spends 23 games on the field and scores 8 goals in them. In 2003 he spent in Kaliningrad "Baltic", where he scored 15 goals on the field of 40 matches.

After a successful season in the Baltic clubPogrebnyak Pavel returns to Moscow. Here he again can not reveal his potential: out of 16 matches only 2 times different. In the same season, he is rented to Khimki. And again luck: 12 games and 6 goals scored. It turns out, in every second output on the field it is different.

Pavel Pogrebnyak, a football player, was able to fully reveal his potential in 2005. It was after a successful season, held in the Tomsk Tomi, he receives the first invitation to the Russian team.

He made his debut in the match against the Latvian team. At the 80th minute he went on the field, replacing Diniyar Bilyaletdinov. 9 minutes later, at the very end of the game, Pavel scored a goal that became single and victorious.

In the city on the Neva

Good statistics of the last season alloweda young guy to attract the attention of many coaches. One of them became a Dutch specialist, who at that time headed St. Petersburg "Zenith". Thus, Paul is included in the composition of white-blue-blue.

It is this period and is for him the most stellar:

• 2007 - the champion of Russia;
• 2008 - winner of the Russian Super Cup;
• 2007-08 - winner of the UEFA Cup and European Super Cup.

For this season Pogrebnyak Pavel is recognized as the best scorer of the tournament.

But simultaneously with victories this time brought himand the main disappointment. Having put a lot of effort to ensure that the team got to the European Championships in 2008, the player gets injured and misses the tournament. An unfortunate circumstance occurred in a friendly match against Serbia. The Russian national team, who finished third in the Old World Championship, achieved the result without his participation.

The Conquest of Europe

In the summer of 2009, the club management parted ways with theattacking. A three-year contract was signed with the German "Stuttgart". 08.08.2009, Paul first put on the form of the team in a game against Wolfsburg, who at the time was the champion of the country. A few days later, 15.08. Pogrebnyak scores his first goal at the gate of Freiburg. In total, for the duration of the contract, he spends 68 matches on the field and scores 15 goals.

From the beginning of 2012 Paul plays in English"Fulham". The club buys it on loan. For 5 months of staying in the team, the striker enters the field only 12 times, but at the same time he has six balls.

After the completion of the contract with Stuttgart,Pogrebnyak Pavel concludes a contract with a little-known club from the Foggy Albion with the name "Reading". In it, he spends 3 years, until August 2015 - the date when the striker returns to his homeland and signs a contract with the leadership of the Moscow Dynamo. In this club, he will continue to perform at the moment.

Personal life of the football player

His legal wife he knew with the schoolbenches. With the gradual maturation of their friendship flowed into something more, and a student named Masha Shatalova had a guy named Pasha. Now Pogrebnyak Pavel and his wife have two children.

Before the wedding, the young met for 8 years. Only after Maria decided to come to Europe with him, but failed to do so, the couple had to legitimize their relationship. It was made spontaneously. Pavel flew to Russia for the match, on the evening of the same day they went to the registry office and signed. Solemn events had to be held after a while.

History is full of numerous obstacles, by which theycould resist. Take at least the transfer of Paul to Siberia. Despite the fact that Masha's parents were against her going after him, the girl did it. She abandons her studies and leaves for her beloved in Tomsk. There, knowing full well that all relatives and friends can not be brought here, they are crowned, planning to organize a smart wedding for them a little later.

Harsh reality

Although the contract with Dynamo is concluded for 3 years,the management of the club may ask about the transfer of rights to a football player or renting it to another club. This is due to the black streak in the striker's game statistics. For 18 games he was able to distinguish only once. It happened in September 2015, goal in the gates of his former club, "Spartacus." But it could not bring a white-blue victory, they lost in their field with a score of 2: 3.
