The former Tottenham Hotspur star is content with Russian Premier League switch and has shown disappointment with Premier League stint.
Pavlyuchenko shot to fame at the EURO 2008 with his dazzling displays for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753, who were favourites to win the competition having humbled then-world
champions, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926, in the group stage.
His rich form earned him a move to the Premier League, as Spurs parted with 16 million Pounds for his signature. After a decent debut season, however, he failed to impress the management. The attacker gradually dropped down the pecking order under the charge
of Harry Redknapp.
With the arrival of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Emmanuel-Adebayor-c12526 to the white half of London in 2011, the Russian’s first team chances took a serious dent. Fearing for his place in the Russian national, Pavlyuchenko enforced a move back to his native league. Lokomotiv were more than
eager to take the attacker on board.
On his return, the attacker told ITAR-TASS:
"I was playing in a strong league, I enjoyed the game and I scored some important goals,
"During the time I spent there, I developed as a footballer and I became more professional.
"I think all the decisions I have made during my career have been right. My decision to sign for Lokomotiv is not an exception.”
The star added that he could have stayed with the Premier League title hopefuls but the allure of first team football was too much for him.
"I could've stayed at Tottenham and dealt with meaningless things. My desire is to play. I decided, together with my family, that this is the best way.
"Lokomotiv are a top team and I want to help to reach the serious goals. This season it's a reality to win the Russian title.” He concluded.
