Lokomotiv Moscow striker defends his English Premier League failure after making Russian Premier League return.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749. He penned down a long term deal at Lokomotiv Moscow, after completing his move from
Tottenham Hotspur.
Pavlyuchenko has revealed the reason behind his failure in England and spok about his relationship with former manager, Harry Redknapp.
The 30-year-old, who joined the North London club for 14 million Pounds, was relegated to the bench, prompting him to leave the English outfit during this transfer window.
The striker was set to leave the White Hart Lane during his second season with the English outfit. He had himself expressed a desire to leave the Spurs, having failed to claim a first team spot under Redknapp.
“I very much like to play football. That’s why I need to start thinking about making a move during this transfer window.” Pavlyuchenko had said.
However, he failed to secure a move away from London, as Tottenham were looking to recoup the amount they had paid Spartak Moscow back in 2008.
Though Robbie Keane’s departure had given Pavlyuchenko a new life line, the goal-shy forward still failed to impress the boss. It got even more complicated for him with the arrival of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Emmanuel-Adebayor-c12526, who was preferred ahead
of him.
Pavlyuchenko revealed that he tried to discuss his situation with Redknapp and revealed that his former manager refused to promise him first team chances due to in-form strikers at his disposal.
“Redknapp said he is counting on me. Although I felt that this was not the case. He said that if they sell me, they need someone to replace me. Maybe they had no candidate in my place.
“But they let me leave after the arrival of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Louis-Saha-c22459.” Pavlyuchenko concluded.
The Russian Cup winner went on to admit that he was waiting for an appropriate offer from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Russia-c2991 and assured the fans that he will rediscover his blistering form.
