“The comparison between Dziuba and Ronaldo is hard. Artem, like Cristiano, has leadership qualities” – Granat

Former player of the Russian national team Vladimir Granat compared the striker of Lokomotiv Artem Dzyuba with Cristiano Ronaldo.

Earlier, Dzyuba’s representative, Leonid Goldman, told Match TV that Dzyuba could be called “Russian Cristiano Ronaldo.”

– The comparison between Dziuba and Ronaldo is hard. Artem is not an easy player and he is a star for our championship. Dziuba, like Cristiano, has leadership qualities, plus he loves to overcome difficulties.

Now Artem has hit his own path, he knows the Russian championship well, so it will be easier for him to play in the RPL than in Turkey. He will help Lokomotiv get out of such a difficult tournament situation,” Granat told Metaratings.ru.

Lokomotiv is 14th in the Russian Championship standings with 13 points. On February 22 and 27, the railway workers will play with Spartak in the playoffs of the FONBET Cup of Russia.

The Russian football season will resume on February 22 with FONBET Russian Cup matches. On March 3, the WORLD RPL draw will continue. Live broadcasts of RPL matches and the National Cup are available on the Match TV federal channel and the thematic channels of the holding, as well as on the matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
