Roman Pavlyuchenko - bronze medalist of Euro 2008, favorite of the maestro, Super Pav from English Tottenham, who started professional career in the Stavropol FC Dynamo. The footballer was unable to cope with the loads major league and playing in the best European teams, he preferred wandering around little-known Russian clubs.
Childhood and youth
The future master of sports was born on December 15, 1981 in the southeast of the Krasnodar Territory in the urban-type settlement Mostovskaya. A couple of days after his birth, his family - mother, father, sister and he - moved to Karachay-Cherkessia. A football player spent his childhood in a city called Ust-Dzheguta.
Roman grew up as an ordinary, unremarkable boy who, in his spare time, played football in the yard. The forward's father Anatoly Andreevich, seeing his son's craving for sports, at the age of 9, gave his beloved child to the children's and youth sports school"Victory" and asked the coach Khasan Kurochinov to train the guy. Roman spent seven years with the Pobeda team.
At the age of 16 he was invited to a local school Olympic reserve... There he was simultaneously educated and played for the Stavropol club "Dynamo". From the biography of the footballer, it is known that after graduating from school, Roman was accepted into the main team. Just at this time, the old line-up was disbanded for ineffectiveness, and the management made a bet on talented youth.
Football career
The promising striker showed himself in all his glory in the very first game and attracted the attention of famous clubs, among which were CSKA and Shinnik. But the representatives of the Volgograd "Rotor", where Roman moved in 2000, turned out to be better and more convincing than others.
Roman Pavlyuchenko in the "Rotor" club Roman spent three seasons at Rotor, and although this stage was not marked by serious victories, FC became a school of life for him, where Pavlyuchenko honed his game thinking and acquired the necessary skills to play in the top division. In 2002, Roma was invited to Moscow "Spartak", and from that moment on Pavlyuchenko's career went uphill: for six years spent in the camp of red and white, he managed to ensure that his name was on the lips of all fans Russian football.
Pavlyuchenko distinguished himself in the Russian championships: he was top scorer teams from 2003 to 2007, twice ranked 33 best footballers, and also added the 10,000th goal to the list of personal achievements. With the direct participation of Roman, "Spartak" won the Cup of Russia (2002-2003), repeatedly became the silver medalist of the Russian Championship (2005-2007), reached the semifinals of the European Championship (2008). Pavlyuchenko also became a member of the Russian Scorers' Club and even got into the symbolic team of the 2008 European Championship according to UEFA.
Takeoff football career Romana happened in 2006. Then the forward of the Moscow "Spartak" scored 18 goals during the season and became the top scorer of the Russian championship. In October 2007, Pavlyuchenko scored his famous double against England and made the whole country believe in the national team. At Euro 2008, Roman showed a phenomenal game. He led his team to the semifinals and again earned the title of top scorer.
After an enchanting performance, the English "Tottenham" signed a contract with Pavlyuchenko with a fixed wage of 2 million euros per year. In London, Roman had trouble adapting. The negative character trait of a football player began to be clearly seen - laziness. The novel did not want to teach at all English... Because of this, the striker had no rapport with his teammates. Also have coaching staff questions arose about the youth's lack of mobility. His reluctance to show results led to the fact that Roman began to be removed from the games. Pavlyuchenko was never able to gain a foothold in the team and in 2012 moved to Moscow Lokomotiv.
The footballer's career was rolling down inexorably. The fans were at a loss. Everyone wanted to know what really happened to the once best Russian striker. Sports commentators did not stand aside either. On the air of the radio station "Echo of Moscow" the former Chief Editor sports TV channels "NTV-Plus" suggested that the reason for the unsuccessful game of the ex-player of the Russian national team is his frequent visits karaoke bars.
Roman Pavlyuchenko at the Lokomotiv club Sad statistics show that as soon as Russian footballers start doing something other than football, their playing career can be safely given up. This happened with Pavlyuchenko. In 2014, Roman not only opened a restaurant of Georgian cuisine "Satsivi", but also discovered an acting talent, starring with, and Andrei Voronin in the video clip "I love you."
Roman Pavlyuchenko in the club "Kuban" Despite the fact that the footballer, 188 cm tall and weighing 84 kg, did not show results for a couple of seasons, he did not leave Lokomotiv until the last, continuing to receive a monthly salary of 11 million rubles. After the contract expired, the club representatives were ready to continue cooperation with Pavlyuchenko only if he agreed to lower the rate to 3.6 million rubles. This situation did not suit the football player. Roman refused the offer that belittled his dignity and in 2015 moved to FC Kuban, whose colors he defended throughout the year.
Roman Pavlyuchenko at the Ural club On June 25, 2016, Roman signed a contract with Ural for a period of 1 year and in May 2017 he moved to the team of the third division “Ararat”. After that, the ex-president of Spartak Andrei Chervichenko, under whom Roman joined the red-and-white roster, suggested that Pavlyuchenko would most likely end his career in the near future.
Personal life
Roman met his first and only wife Larisa when he and his parents moved from his native Krasnodar Territory to Karachay-Cherkessia. Roman and Larisa were classmates and from grade 6 to grade 9 sat together at the same desk. In his school years, many were in love with the blue-eyed blonde. As the footballer himself recalls, girls have always shown interest in him.
Few people know, but initially future star football was carried away by Larisa's sister - Sveta. The relationship did not work out due to the fact that Svetlana gave preference to study, rejecting the courtship of the young man. It is not known how long Roman would have been in an unlawful marriage with Larisa if the enterprising young lady had not taken everything into her own hands and in 2001 had not made an offer to the chosen one. The young people got married when both were 18 years old.
Since then, the responsible decisions have been made by the spouse. Larisa's strong-willed character and iron grip is also indicated by her hobby: a woman collects luxury real estate. Officially, the wife of a Russian footballer is a housewife, unofficially, a businesswoman. The woman managed to convert her husband's sports talent into considerable capital. At the moment, the Pavlyuchenko family in Moscow and the Moscow region has a couple of apartments and houses that bring a regular income. Of course, Larissa is not, but the woman keeps her hand on the pulse confidently and does not let her husband out from under her own wing.
Family life Pavlyuchenko is closely related to football: the wedding was played in Volgograd, where Roma defended the honor of the local team, the couple acquired their first housing in Moscow, where the gaining momentum was invited to play in Spartak, and the first steps of Christina's daughter were seen in London, where the athlete played for Tottenham.
Larisa was present at all her husband's games, with the exception of one. On August 24, 2006, when Roma was defeating Czech Slovan with Spartak, she was in the hospital. Pavlyuchenko learned that he had become a dad at the end of the match. In 2014, the second daughter, Mila, was born.
The footballer dedicated not only victories to his wife and children, but also tattoos. All right hand the forward from the collarbone to the wrist is crammed with images and symbols directly related to the family. Despite the busy work schedule, the athlete to this day tries maximum amount spend free time with family.

How Andrei Arshavin, Diniyar Bilyaletdinov and other stars of Euro 2008 managed to slide to the very bottom ...
The most successful in the history of the Russian national football team international tournament Euro 2008 gave the world a lot of new stars. But just a couple of years later, all these stars went out as quickly as they lit up. At the same time, most of the heroes of that Euro still continue their playing careers. We will tell you where they are now and how they got to such a life.
Andrey Arshavin
After the triumphant Euro 2008, where the Russians for the first time in recent history won bronze medals, it seemed that the leader of the national team Andrei Arshavin was about to turn into a star, not only Russian, but also a world one.
From Zenit, he moved to London Arsenal and initially showed incredible results - two weeks after his debut in England, Arshavin scored his first goal, and a month later he designed poker against the main rival - Liverpool. In the same year, Arshavin entered the field already in the captain's armband - no one expected such a rapid growth.
However, after a bright start, a series of failures followed. Andrew ceased to arouse sympathy among the British, both by his actions on the field and beyond. Arshavin has repeatedly stated that he does not like the climate, people, or England in general. The Russian also failed to make friends with his club partners, colleagues noted the striker's arrogance.

In 2012, the Russians were convinced of Arshavin's arrogance. After the disastrous Euro 2012, Andrei, who acted as the captain of the Russian national team, became a winged phrase: “Your expectations are not our problems. It's your problems". After that, not only all of England, but also all of Russia took up arms against Arshavin.
This rash phrase played an unkind joke with Arshavin, because after the Euro he had to return to Russia, where he was not particularly expected. Over the next three years at Zenit, Arshavin scored only three goals, and in another year at Kuban, not a single one at all.
Now Arshavin is defending the colors of Kazakhstani Kairat, and there he is doing much better. He scores again and is the leader of the team, but it is unlikely that the player who was not so long ago was the captain of the top club of the strongest counted on this. football league the world.
Pavel Pogrebnyak
Tall and combative striker Pavel Pogrebnyak has been hitting the doorsteps of top clubs for many years, and only in 2007 he was noticed by Zenit. Pogrebnyak did not miss his chance, began to score regularly and, as a result, was called up to the national team. Despite the fact that at Euro 2008 the striker did not show any effective actions, he was appreciated in Europe and a year later he went to conquer Germany.
Photo: Ilya SMIRNOV / Komsomolskaya Pravda The fate of Pogrebnyak in Europe practically repeats the history of Arshavin: a good start, followed by an incessant decline. In German "Stuttgart" the footballer lasted a little over two years, but after the expiration of the contract, the club did not want to sign a new one. Moreover, there were no people in Germany who wanted not only to outbid a football player, but even to take him for free.
Pogrebnyak's only option was the modest English Reading, which was eliminated from the Premier League the same year. Although the Russian managed to score there, the team still languished in the second division, and in 2015 Pogrebnyak was forced to ingloriously return to Russia. Since then, he has been listed for Dynamo Moscow, but scored only one goal in three years.
Roman Pavlyuchenko
The most productive Russian at Euro 2008 Roman Pavlyuchenko immediately after the tournament was signed by Tottenham - one of the top clubs English Premier League... Much was expected from the Russian, but the first games already showed that Pavlyuchenko lacks dynamics, because the game in England is played at completely different speeds than in Russia. And the striker himself complained that the training system that he uses was not suitable for him. Main coach.
Photo: globallookpress.com As a result, Pavlyuchenko sat tightly on the bench, entering the field only as a substitute. The Russian has more than once had the opportunity to switch to another European club- in 2010 the striker wanted to buy Liverpool, and in 2011 Espanyol. Perhaps, had Pavlyuchenko then taken a different decision, and his career would have developed differently, but the striker for some reason refused the offers.
With the arrival of Emmanuel Adebayor, Pavlyuchenko, at Tottenham, he became a substitute player, and soon left the team, but no longer went to another European club, but back to Russia. For the next five years, Pavlyuchenko's career went downhill: from Lokomotiv to Kuban, from Kuban to Ural, and from Ural to the newly-made Moscow club Ararat, which plays not even in the second, but in the third league. Just today, Pavlyuchenko broke his contract with this club, but the player is unlikely to find options for continuing his career.
Diniyar Bilyaletdinov
The last of the failed “conquerors of Europe” is a graduate of “Lokomotiv” Diniyar Bilyaletdinov. A whole year after Euro 2008 they fought for him the best clubs Of the old world. As a result, the Russian went to the English “Everton”. In the new club, Bilyaletdinov quickly became the best passer, overtaking everyone in the number of assists. Nevertheless, due to the high competition, even these successes did not give the Russian a place in the starting lineup.

Gradually resigned to the status of a substitute, Diniyar lost his form and interest in the game. Therefore, when Bilyaletdinov's competitor for a place in the starting lineup Leon Osman was injured and the Russian had a chance to gain a foothold in the base, he could not use it. Critics noted the passivity of Bilyaletdinov, and soon he sat down on the bench again.
In 2012, following the rest of the cohort of Russians, Bilyaletdinov returned to his homeland, to Spartak. However, an injury prevented him from playing at the same level - during his absence, the midfielder lost his place in the squad and continued, as in England, to marinate on the bench.
On this, Bilyaletdinov's career actually ended - he changed three more clubs, but did not take root anywhere. V this season there was no place for the footballer in Russia, and Bilyaletdinov again went to play abroad, only not to England, but to the small Lithuanian club "Trakai". There Bilyaletdinov, although he does not indulge himself with hopes for great results, but he can feel like a real star.
From November 2002 to August 2008 he played for football club"Spartak Moscow). From August 2008 to February 2012 he played for the English Tottenham Hotspur. This transfer made it one of the most expensive Russian footballers sold abroad in the history of Russian football (the amount of compensation received by Spartak is at least 17 million euros). Now plays for FC Lokomotiv (Moscow).
Family: wife Larisa Pavlyuchenko, daughter Kristina Pavlyuchenko.

There he studied, while simultaneously speaking for youth team Stavropol club "Dynamo". Under the guidance of coaches Vladimir Tokarev and Vladimir Kitin, Roman grew professionally, although he did not stand out among the other Dynamo players, and in 1998, together with the team, became the champion of Russia in his age group... In 1999, Fedor Gagloyev, the head coach of the main team of Dynamo, invited Pavlyuchenko to the first pre-season training camp. As part of the main team, Pavlyuchenko made his debut in the match of the 2nd round of the first division of the Russian championship with the Torpedo-ZIL club, where he came on as a substitute after the break, but did not save his team from defeat with a score of 0: 1. In the match of the 10th round, Pavlyuchenko made two assists, the goals from which brought Dynamo a 2-1 victory over Lokomotiv from Chita. In total, he spent only a season for the club, playing 31 matches and scoring 1 goal, in an away match with the Lokomotiv club from St. Petersburg.

Despite this, Pavlyuchenko entered the symbolic team of the best juniors of the first division according to the Sport-Express newspaper.
"Rotor" Volgograd
In 2000, Pavlyuchenko, having signed a long-term contract, moved to Volgograd “Rotor”, with which he signed a preliminary agreement in the summer of 1999, despite the fact that “Dynamo” several times refused to transfer to the president of the team, Rochus Shokh. Together with him, his family moved to Volgograd, his father got a job at the club as a driver. Pavlyuchenko had offers from Spartak Moscow and Dynamo Kiev, but preferred Rotor, while the Kievites even offered Rotor to buy out Pavlyuchenko's transfer.
Best of the day
“I also received a call from Dynamo Kiev. But somehow it was all frivolous. The people of Kiev offered me, a 16-year-old guy, to come to their location myself and prove my worth on the spot. The “rotor” was more active. For example, in addition to being invited to the team, my father was also hired - he became a club bus driver. "
In the first game for the club, against Uralan, Pavlyuchenko received a red card for a blow to the face of an opponent who hit Roman in the legs. On July 8, in a match with Rostselmash, Pavlyuchenko opened his scoring for the club, scoring 5 goals in 16 games in total during the season. The club took 11th place in the Russian championship that year. The next season Pavlyuchenko scored 5 goals again, and Rotor finished 10th.

World Cup 2006
He took part in 3 qualifying games for the 2006 World Cup, in a match against Luxembourg he scored his first goal for the national team. The game ended with a score of 5: 1. As a result, the Russian national team took third place in the group and did not make it to the World Cup.
"Spartak Moscow
In November 2002, Pavlyuchenko moved to Moscow "Spartak", which paid 700 thousand euros for the transfer of the forward. As part of the "red-white" club, he replaced Vladimir Beschastnykh, who left for Fenerbahce. On March 15, he made his debut for Spartak in the match against Torpedo-Metallurg. In his second game he scored the first goal for Spartak, hitting the goal of Alania. In total, he scored 10 goals in a season, becoming the top scorer of the team that took 10th place. In the same year, he won the Russian Cup, in the final of which he played 87 minutes. He also played in the UEFA Cup, where he scored 1 goal. In 2004, Pavlyuchenko was again Spartak's top scorer, scoring 10 goals. In 2005, Pavlyuchenko took second place with the club in the national championship, in which he distinguished himself 11 times.

At the same time, Roman became the third national team player who made a "double" in the matches for the Russian national team, after leaving the bench.
Before the final games of the European Championship, Roman performed inexpressively: he scored little in the Russian championship, and then he was even transferred to Spartak's reserve and held several trainings with a double of the “red-white” ones. Pavlyuchenko himself said that he did not feel very well, primarily emotionally. Guus Hiddink noted problems with physical readiness Pavlyuchenko. Pavel Pogrebnyak was considered the player of the starting lineup of the national team, but in a friendly match with the Serbian national team he was seriously injured and could not take part in the final part of the European Championship. This allowed Pavlyuchenko to become a player in the main roster of the Russian team.
In the final part of the European Championship, Pavlyuchenko scored 3 goals: against Spain (1: 4), Sweden (2: 0) and the Netherlands (3: 1). He was also named the best player of the match against Greece. At the end of the tournament, Roman entered the symbolic team of the 23rd best players European Championship 2008.
Tottenham
On August 30, 2008, Pavlyuchenko moved to Tottenham Hotspur, signing a 4 + 1 contract with a salary of 2 million euros per year. The amount of the transfer was 14 million pounds, which made the transfer of Roman the most expensive transfer at that time for a football player who left the Russian championship for a foreign club. In the new club, Pavlyuchenko chose game number 9. The decisive factor for the transfer to Tottenham for Roman was personal communication with the head coach of the team, Juande Ramos, who called the striker.
As part of Tottenham, he made his debut on September 16 in the match of the 4th round of the English championship with the club Aston Villa, where he spent 90 minutes, and his team lost 1: 2. At the same time, some sports journalists noted that Roman played this match unsuccessfully, often not making it because of his speed characteristics. Roman himself did not like the first matches for the club, he was also surprised by the training system that was used in England, especially in terms of physical activity... On September 25, in the League Cup match against Newcastle, Pavlyuchenko scored his first goal for Tottenham; his club won 2-1.
Playing for Tottenham, Pavlyuchenko was injured, due to which he missed the games of the Russian national team with Germany and Finland. On November 13, 2008, in the League Cup match against Liverpool, Pavlyuchenko scored the first double in his foreign career, which allowed his club to win 4-2. Then there was the match against Blackburn Rovers in the Premier League, where Roman's only goal brought victory to the Spurs. On January 2, 2009, Roman played for the first time in the FA Cup, where Spurs met with Wigan Athletic, in this match Pavlyuchenko scored two goals: one from the penalty spot, the other from outside the box; "Spurs" eventually won 3: 1.
In the 2009/2010 season, Pavlyuchenko did not enter the field for most of the matches, remaining on the bench, which did not suit the Russian striker. After that, the player's agent Oleg Artyomov spoke with the head coach of the team, Harry Redknapp and the president of the team, Daniel Levy, having obtained consent to sell the player if the price suits the club. Pavlyuchenko were interested in Russian clubs Lokomotiv (Moscow), Zenit (St. Petersburg), Italian Roma and Milan, German Hertha, English teams Birmingham City, West Ham United, Liverpool, Spanish Valencia, Portuguese Sporting, Turkish Galatasaray, also wanted to return Pavlyuchenko to Moscow Spartak. Pavlyuchenko himself said that he had a feeling that the head coach of Tottenham, Harry Redknapp, was mocking him, not letting him out in the squad and not giving him the opportunity to leave the team.
On February 21, 2010 Pavlyuchenko scored for the first time after a long break in the Premier League match for Tottenham; in the same game against Wigan, Roman scored the second goal. In the next match, against Bolton in the 1/8 FA Cup, he again scored a double. In the third game in a row, against Everton, Pavlyuchenko scored a goal. Roman expressed that he felt trust from Redknapp. On March 13, Pavlyuchenko scored two goals against Blackburn Rovers. In the next game, March 20, he suffered a hamstring injury, which caused him to leave the bench in the 1/4 FA Cup match. But this did not stop him from scoring the winning goal in the match.
On August 31, 2010, on the final day of the summer transfer window, Liverpool wanted to sign Pavlyuchenko, but he declined the offer.
On September 29, in the Champions League match against the Dutch "Twente" scored two goals from the penalty spot, "Tottenham" won in this game with a score of 4: 1. November 2 in match group stage Champions League scored a goal against Inter Milan. On December 12, he opened the scoring against Chelsea, the match ended in a 1-1 draw. Roman scored a goal against Blackpool on 22 February; this ball did not affect the outcome of the meeting, in the end Tottenham lost 1: 3. On May 22, in the last round, Roman scored two goals against Birmingham.
At the start of the next season, Tottenham took out Emmanuel Adebayor on loan, prompting rumors that Roman might leave the team and join Espanyol. However, he remained in the team. Roman started the League Cup match with Stoke City from the first minutes, and in the penalty shootout, which resulted in his team losing 7: 6, he missed his shot. After that, Pavlyuchenko completely stopped appearing in the Premier League, playing only in the Europa League, where Tottenham played the second line-up, and, despite everything, scored two goals. On December 18, 2011, the striker managed to distinguish himself for the first time in the championship, in the match against Sunderland, setting the final score - 1: 0.
World Cup 2010
By the qualifying round for the 2010 World Cup, Roman became one of the leaders of the national team. Played 7 of 10 qualifying games and scored 5 goals. However, the Russian national team did not make it to the World Cup again, losing in play-offs national team of Slovenia.
Lokomotiv Moscow
Euro 2012
In the qualifying games, Roman did not always get into the starting lineup, competing with Kerzhakov, who had gained form and Pogrebyank, who was playing in the starting lineup. On June 4, 2011, scored a hat-trick against Armenia (Russia won 3: 1). In the match against Andorra, Roman scored his 4th goal in the qualifying round. Also in this match he, together with the national team, qualified for Euro.
Personal life
He met his future wife Larisa at the age of 12, when he moved to the sixth grade of secondary school No. 6 in the village of Mostovskaya. Roman and Larisa were seated at the same desk. So they sat together until the end of the ninth grade, after which Roman moved to the Stavropol sports school. But the young people did not stop communicating, and in November 2001 they got married. On August 24, 2006, right after the game with Slovan, Larisa gave birth to Roman's daughter Christina.
Together with Roman, Sergey Serdyukov also studied at the Sports School. Roman and Sergey's wives - Larisa and Svetlana - are twins.
The club is restless. It seems to be in first place with a margin, 13 points ahead of “Ryazan”, and constantly tension arises around it. At first they almost disbanded. Then head coach Alexander Grigoryan left the team. And now - parting with the captain and the main star.
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN WITH
This season Pavlyuchenko played 13 matches for Ararat and scored 9 goals. It seems to be worthy. However, the management of the club, such statistics, obviously, did not seem impressive enough to allow the forward liberties.
On November 10, news broke that “Ararat” was extremely dissatisfied with 35-year-old Pavlyuchenko, who flew away on vacation ahead of time and posted photos from his vacation. Note that the striker missed only one match - on November 11, “Ararat” hosted “Energomash”, and now he will enter the field only in April.
There was no immediate termination of the contract, which was calculated until May 30, 2018. According to "SE", Pavlyuchenko took a vacation to recover due to problems with the muscles of the thigh. Moreover, what is important - with the permission of the club. The decision on the dispute that arose was to be made upon the player's return to Moscow.
Pavlyuchenko in disbelief
“Ararat” has no information about the injury of Roman Pavlyuchenko, - noted Keropyan. - Therefore, after the return of the footballer, a serious conversation awaits with the general director of the club.
It's not true that I left the team without asking. I have been in football for many years, and I know that a player has no right to leave the club without permission. I'm friends with brains!
- How was it?
I talked with the president of “Ararat”, and he told me the following: “If the head coach lets you go, then I don’t mind”. Naturally, both before and after the game I asked the coach for permission. He let me go too. And the next day, when the team gathered for training, no one called me and asked - why are you not in class?
Five days later, the team had a meeting, where the guys were told that the club wanted to terminate the contract with me, because I left without asking. I don't understand what's going on. Maybe some misunderstanding happened. If the president and the head coach told me that they would not let me go, I would not go anywhere! I'm not a sick person.
But this is not the only reason why they decided to terminate the contract with me. The second thing they told me was that I played badly for “Ararat”. He scored nine goals in 11 matches, and, according to the management, this is bad result, because I had to score two or three times more! It's strange for me, I don't understand. Well, he answered them: “If you decided so, then let's”. But that's not fair!
- You also had an injury. Have you recovered?
Got a microfracture of the muscle. It still hurts. And even after the game with “Chemist” the head coach told me: “Rum, I understand that next game you probably won't recover. " And I also understood that in the next match I would not be able to help the team. But without asking, personally, I would never fly away! I can't understand why they decided that.
Today I met with the general director, explained that I was released. And he says to me: "Nobody let you go." I don't even know what else to say. If the club decided to break the contract, then we will break it.
- Do not you see another way out of this situation?
Do not know. I have a training session tomorrow, and under the current contract I am obliged to attend it. Let's see what happens next. It is unpleasant for me that everything was exposed in the media like that. As if I, the captain of the team, threw her, did not give a damn about everything. I felt hurt.
I had a similar situation in the Ural. There was an important game with “Lokomotiv”, and two days before it I approached the president of the club, Grigory Ivanov, and asked him to leave, as I still could not help because of an injury. And he went to meet him. This is a normal situation, nothing like that happened. And here they put me in such a way that I left the club. I am such a person and a football player who is always worried about the result. I would never act according to the principle: I am Pavlyuchenko, and you are nobody! It's not in my rules, brought up differently.

SANCTIONS FROM "ARARAT"
And on November 15, the leadership of "Ararat" made a decision to reduce incentive payments and payments for Pavlyuchenko's image character by 99 percent. At the same time, it was noted that the contract with the forward would not be terminated.
- "Ararat" expresses concern about the inaccuracy of the information that the footballer of our club Roman Anatolyevich Pavlyuchenko stated in his interview to the media, - the statement said. - "Ararat" confirms that on November 14, 2017, Roman Pavlyuchenko was invited to the club office for explanations on the fact that appeared on November 8, 2017 in social networks photo and video materials of Pavlyuchenko's rest in the United Arab Emirates.
The management of the club rightly perceived this fact as the unsportsmanlike behavior of the team captain in the midst of preparations for the match "Ararat" - "Energomash". In a situation where the coach had only 12 players before the game. Roman Anatolyevich received messages with requests to come to the location of the team and take part in last game... However, Roman did not interrupt his vacation, which, as it turned out later, had been planned and paid for on September 17, 2017. The footballer came to the club only on November 14, 2017, and thus showed complete disrespect for his teammates and the club as a whole. We believe that in addition to the sports component, Roman Pavlyuchenko bears a huge moral responsibility and obligations to the team, since he was chosen as the team captain. In this regard, absence from the final game of the year cannot be justified.
"Ararat" officially declares that at present the labor contract with Roman Pavlyuchenko has not been terminated, and continues to operate in full. In its activities "Ararat" is guided by high moral and sports principles... This principle is enshrined in the employment contract with the players and the administrative staff of the club, namely: club employees are required to coordinate all their performances, statements, etc. in the media with the management and press officer of the club.
Contrary to the requirements of the employment contract, Roman made a scandalous statement discrediting the club, in connection with which it was decided to reduce his incentive payments and image payments by 99 percent. In this case, wages will be paid in full. "Ararat" emphasizes that it acts in strict accordance with the labor legislation of the Russian Federation and the regulatory documents of the RFU and PFL.
I will challenge the decision of the club in the chamber of the RFU to resolve disputes, - Pavlyuchenko said in response. - I have no other choice. What am I to play for 100 rubles now? I think this decision is unreasonable. I read that when I left Russia, the club called and wrote to me to return. But that was not the case! I even find it funny to read this. Not a single person from the club contacted me!
- Did you talk about this situation in training?
Yes, I received a notice that they want to reduce the payout by 99 percent. I believe that I acted according to the rules, since everything was agreed with the management. I personally did not assign myself a vacation. I was in training, but we did not discuss this. What for? Yesterday I expressed everything that I think.
The general director of the All-Russian Trade Union of Football Players (OPSF), Alexander Zotov, next said that the trade union's lawyers are already in contact with Roman and are ready to study the documents in order to compare the actions of the club and the football player.

NO LONGER CAPTAIN
"The footballers of" Ararat "held a vote to choose a new captain and vice-captain. The armband went to 31-year-old midfielder Alexey Rebko, 27-year-old midfielder Irakli Kvekveskiri was chosen as vice-captain," the club's press service said yesterday, and it became clear that a happy ending in the story with Pavlyuchenko is not worth waiting for.
DIVORCE BUT NOT THE END OF A CAREER
Today an end was put in the conflict: “Ararat” terminated the contract with the striker by mutual agreement of the parties.
The club's management and I made a decision to terminate my contract by mutual agreement, ”Pavlyuchenko said in a statement to the press service of“ Ararat ”. - I want to apologize to the fans, teammates and everyone who created and is related to “Ararat” for the empty hype in the press that unfolded around me in the last days... All that happened was due to a banal misunderstanding. Now all the controversial issues have been settled, and there are no more problems between me and the club, we are parting as good friends.
The time in "Ararat" was special and extraordinary. It was nice to feel like a part of such a large and ambitious project. I am sure that soon “Ararat” will achieve great sports peaks, and I will always support and worry about this outstanding team.
I am not going to finish my career, but for now I will rest, - noted Pavlyuchenko. He dropped the claims, so the union can remove the documents to the top shelf.
Where will Pavlyuchenko be now? Rumors hastened to send him to the “Ural”, for which he played before, but, according to the president of “bumblebees” Grigory Ivanov, the forward does not want to leave far from Moscow, where his child goes to school, and for this reason Roman left Yekaterinburg.
