“Dzyuba stands above Smolov. Spartak school helped him throughout his career “- Orlov

Commentator Gennady Orlov believes that the ex-forward of Zenit Artem Dzyuba at the peak of his career was better than the forward of Dynamo Fedor Smolov.

Let’s look at the scoreboard! Artem has more positive indicators. He scored more. Just the same, Dzyuba replaced Smolov in the Cherchesov team at the World Cup. Dziuba is higher. Plus a coincidence. At Zenith, he was next to the Hulk. Well, plus the Spartak school that Artem went through helped him throughout his career, ”Orlov told Sport24.
