“Many are afraid that Dziuba can negatively affect the atmosphere in the team” – Kiryakov

The leadership of many clubs in the Russian Premier League (RPL) is afraid that striker Artem Dzyuba could negatively affect the atmosphere in the team, according to former Russian national team player Sergei Kiryakov.

– Dzyuba in our football is an ambiguous and odious figure. Many are afraid that he can negatively affect the atmosphere in the team. It outweighs football matters. The impact on the team is taken into account before inviting a player. Many coaches are probably afraid of both his authority and the fact that Artem can ruin everything with his actions, ”KP Sport” quoted Kiryakov as saying.

Dzyuba is without a club after leaving the Turkish Adana Demirspor in November last year. As part of the team, the 34-year-old Russian played five matches and scored one goal.

Earlier it became known that the Moscow “Torpedo” refused the option of inviting a football player. The media also reported on his negotiations with PARI NN.

The 2022/23 season in Russia will resume with FONBET Russian Cup matches, which will begin on February 22. The WORLD RPL season will resume on March 3. Broadcasts of RPL and Russian Cup matches can be watched on the Match TV federal channel, as well as on the holding’s thematic channels and websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
