Former player of the Russian national team Diniyar Bilyaletdinov thinks the attacker Pavel Pogrebnyak had a good career.
Pasha had a good career, he was able to play abroad. When he arrived at Fulham, he immediately started scoring, he had crazy stats there, then he played at Reading. He has had many good teams during his career and has brought many advantages to the national team. The most unfortunate moment was before the 2008 European Championship, when he got injured in a control match with the Serbs. Thanks Pasha for such a career.
I think football is an integral part of every person who has professionally connected life with this sport. This is the type of business that requires certain knowledge and skills, as well as patience. I think Pasha will find a use for himself in the football environment, maybe he will be in some sort of managerial position.
He did not continue playing due to age and motivation. A certain tangle builds up and you have to choose the right time to leave. He made that decision for himself, so it’s all right.
