Football agent Alexey Safonov told he doesn’t pay attention to criticism of Akron striker Artem Dziuba .
Earlier, Dzyuba in an interview with said that agents are not needed in football, recalling the story of how his former agent Safonov did not help him during the transition from Spartak to Tom.
“I don’t know why Dzyuba is so unhappy. On the contrary, he was lucky to leave Spartak because Karpin did not want to work with him. I was on Artem’s side, I’m still on my player’s side. At the same time, there was an anecdotal situation with a wallet.
Dziuba believes that agents are not necessary, he blames me, and the other 50-60 footballers I have worked with are normal [ко мне]. Recently I organized a tournament in Kazan, Ryzhikov came and signed autographs. I still help Seryoga find a coaching job, as well as with Lekha Medvedev.
Dzyuba has a bad time Karpin and Semak, I’m happy to be in such company. If Smolov and Kokorin had not broken down before the World Cup in Russia, he would not have played in Cherchesov’s national team. So I won’t prove anything to anyone. I work with Tyukavin, we have no such questions. I’m not a dollar to please everyone.
Perhaps Dzyuba is already a little short of hype after a successful period in his career. For reaching the quarter-finals at the World Championships, I received the title of Honored Master of Sports, well done. But, as Bozovic said, football is like sex, every day you have to prove your worth and not say what a star you were.
I am already an old man, now I have held my sixth tournament in Kazan, before that there was Ulyanovsk, Tyumen, Samara – all this for my own money. And the storytellers say: but what good have you done, what important things have you invested in? It is better to prove it with actions. There is such a concept – sincere balabol, and Dzyuba is close to it. No offense to me, let him work without an agent if he wants.
There is no need to impose your opinion on everyone. Someone can say that Dziuba runs like a deer, and another – that he crawls like a turtle. Now what about being offended by criticism? God grant that Dzyuba beats his records for goals, matches, minutes, seconds. Life doesn’t stop; everyone has skeletons in their closet.
If you weigh the pros and cons of seven years of cooperation with Dzyuba, the pros will prevail. I started working with him when he received $800 and left with more than a million,” Safonov told .
Dzyuba played for Spartak from 2006 to 2015; in 2009 and 2010 the footballer played for Tom on loan.
