“I’ll try to be frank – I deceived the Turks.” Dziuba revealed the secret of his transfer

The hero of the last World Cup, Artyom Dzyuba, unfortunately, did not go to the tournament in Qatar – however, like the entire Russian team. And while international battles were unfolding in the Middle East, we didn’t hear about the ex-captain of our national team … But only for the time being.

Recently, the footballer returned to the front pages of the sports press. All thanks to a high-profile interview, during which Artyom managed to get a kick in the ass, harshly insult the host and reveal the secret of his latest transfer.

In a word, the humor in this video is very peculiar.

“They called”

Ex-captain of the Russian national team Artyom Dzyuba spoke with comedian Bogdan Lisevsky as part of a humorous interview for the Plyushki channel. Football fans, versed in absurd humor, the conversation might well have come to taste – but for some the conversation would have seemed very specific. It would be in principle strange to touch on some topics in serious conversations with the press. In the best case, with similar attempts to speak frankly, the athlete could close with the words “no comment”, or even respond with rudeness.

Here, the football player behaved for the time being relaxed, calmly endured jokes about the famous video and openly called the interlocutor “stupid”, responding without malice to barbs addressed to him. He didn’t even argue with the theses that he was too old for a football player, young for a coach, and stupid for a television expert. In general, only in such an interview could one hear an exotic version of the player’s move to Turkey.

— You played in Turkey. Usually the Turks sell all sorts of crap at exorbitant prices. How did you manage to get yourself into them? Lisevsky asked innocently.

“They called them themselves,” Artyom answered.

A seemingly logical answer would surely satisfy any sports publication. After all, it is the clubs that in most cases hunt for the players, and not vice versa. But in this case, the interviewer did not like the banal answer. Bogdan hinted that this is not true.

— What did you want to hear? Why did I come there myself? Dziuba was surprised.

“Well, I somehow got myself into it, agreed,” Bogdan adhered to the version he liked.

— ****** [обманул] Turk? Okay, I’ll try to be as frank as possible.

Lisevsky liked this answer – after all, Dziuba finally “confessed” how he ended up in Adana Demirspor. Having got excited, the interlocutors poked the ball on a dispute, then weighing each other blows in the ass. In the end, however, the interview again returned to pressing issues, namely, the continuation of Artyom’s career. Bogdan tried to squeeze words out of the football player about leaving the sport, but the comedian failed to achieve the desired – it seems that Dzyuba will definitely dust on the Russian fields.
