CEO “Red Stars” Zvezdan Terzic said in a conversation with that signing a contract with a former Zenit striker Artem Dziuba was just an idea that didn’t turn into a deal.
– Incredibly interesting, how did this story start – Red Star and Dziuba?
“This idea came up in mid-May,” Terzich told . – The fact that Dziuba can go to Red Star. But we, the club, have never personally communicated with him. Only with friends and other people. There was never any question that we were close to an agreement. It was just an idea.
– Who initiated it?
— It all started with the idea of our friends in Moscow. Not from any club. But we came to the conclusion that it would be very difficult to reach an agreement. We really respect what Dziuba has done as a player, but at the moment we have very high goals: we want to qualify for the Champions League, and we need a younger and faster striker.
– When you say “an idea of the people of Moscow”, who are you talking about?
– The football players. Our friends.
– Officers?
— No, he’s a trainer.
– Can you give me a name?
– No, no (smile).
On May 22, Dzyuba left Zenit, for whom he had been playing since 2015. In total, he made 249 appearances for the club, scoring 108 goals and providing 71 assists.
Four times in the St. Petersburg team, he became the champion of Russia, twice – the owner of the Russian Cup, and also won the country’s Super Cup four times.
