Former football player of the Moscow “Spartak” Roman Pavlyuchenko told that the capital striker Lokomotiv Artem Dziuba could help Russian team if his challenge hadn’t been hampered by a conflict with the national team’s head coach Valery Karpin .
Dzyuba previously said he was “not averse to taking a step” towards Karpin for the sake of playing in the Russian national team. The footballer was not included in the squad for the March training camp and friendly matches with the national teams of Iran and Iraq.
– I never doubted Dziuba. It is clear that he is a quality player who plays at a good level. We saw how the media dumped it in the media after a business trip to Turkey. So he needed to cheer himself up and get in shape. After all, at 34 you have to consciously prepare for the season.
And now we notice how physically handsome Dzyuba is. It’s no coincidence that he won the best player of the month award for March. I think he would have helped the national team, but there are personal rasps with Karpin. God forbid he continues to play and score like this.
– How long will Dziuba be able to maintain the level he currently displays at Lokomotiv?
– It all depends on his attitude towards football, look at Luka Modric, a 37-year-old who coaches Real Madrid in the Champions League and the Croatian national team in the World Cup. The main thing is that health permits, then he will definitely be able to play for another three or four years, ”Pavlyuchenko said in an interview with .
Dzyuba signed a contract with Lokomotiv in February until the end of the season. Among the railway workers, the striker played five matches, scored four goals and registered an assist.
On Saturday, Lokomotiv will play away with BET NN Nizhny Novgorod in the Matchday 21 WORLD match of the Russian Premier League (RPL). Watch the live broadcast from 2:00 p.m. on the MATCH PREMIER channel, as well as on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru sites.
