Roman Pavlyuchenko is becoming increasingly isolated at
Tottenham.
Croatia pair Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric have accused him of
being lazy by not learning more since his September arrival from
Spartak Moscow.
Spartak keeper Stipe Pletikosa confronted the Russian when his
team was in London to play Spurs in the UEFA Cup.
Pletikosa said he told Pavlyuchenko: “Your team-mates say that
after four months in London you still do not speak any English?
This is no good — don’t be lazy and start learning the language
properly.”
The showdown was revealed by Russian paper Sovetski
Sport.
And Modric said: “It’s probably because we can’t talk to each
other properly that we still do not interact 100 per cent.”
