From the sports biography of Pavel Vladimirovich Dolgov
The future Russian football player was born in the city of Mamonovo, Kaliningrad Region on August 16, 1996.
Debt is considered a pupil of the St. Petersburg football academy "Zenith". In the youth championship of Russia, Paul made his debut in 2013. He replaced in one of the matches of the first round at the game, “Zenith” and “Krasnodar”. In August of that year, Pavel became a player in the reserve of “Zenith-2, ” who played in the 2nd division.
In 2015, Dolgov became part of the main Zenit team. In August, he made his debut in the third round of the championship in the Premier League - when the “Zenith” played against the “Terek”. Pavel had a chance to replace Artyom Dziuba in the 81st minute of the meeting.
In early October 2015, Dolgov held his first match in the UEFA Champions League. He replaced instead of Alexander Ryazantsev at a meeting with the Gent club.
In the winter of 2017, Dolgov moved to the Anzhi club in Makhachkala. The contract is concluded for two and a half years. A year later, it became clear that Pavel, on a leasehold basis, would play for Torpedo-BelAZ in the championship of the Republic of Belarus.
Pavel Dolgov about himself
As a child, Dolgov dreamed of playing football, although his father insisted that Pavel follow in his footsteps and become a military man. They brought up the guy in severity. If they wanted to punish for something, they usually took the computer away. It was a very severe punishment for the boy - he could not do without a computer then.
The first matches Pavel spent for the “Baltic” (Kaliningrad). At one of the youth tournaments, the “breeders” from “Zenith” drew attention to the young player.
Remembering his path in sports, Paul admits that before the first training session in the main team he was very worried. The most difficult test for a Zenit footballer is communicating with the club’s “stars” and football fans. In the old days, Dolgov could not even dream that he would once play side by side with football players of this level. However, newcomers to Zenit are not offended, they even cheer and help as much as possible - some with advice, some with support during matches.
Dolgov believes that football opened up opportunities for him to work and work on himself.
