Former Spartak Moscow coach Andrey Chernyshov told under what condition the forward of the Moscow Lokomotiv Artyom Dzyuba will receive a call to the Russian national team, with which Valery Karpin works.

On the eve of the RFU published an extended list for the collection of the national team, which will be held from 19 to 28 March in Novogorsk. It currently has 41 players and no Dzyuba. In Saturday’s WORLD RPL match, the Lokomotiv forward scored three goals against Rostov, which is headed by Karpin.

– Most recently, Benzema did not volunteer for the French national team, without him the French became world champions, and Karim is one of the best strikers on the planet. I think that in this situation there is a personal issue – Dziuba and Karpin cannot solve problems between themselves, so the quality fades into the background.

I doubt that Dzyuba will be called up to the national team under Karpin. Only if Artyom scores in every round of the RPL, then the public and the leadership of the RFU will put pressure, and Dziuba can get an invitation to the national team, Chernyshov told Metaratings.ru.

Earlier, the RFU communications service told Match TV that the RFU and the Iranian Football Federation agreed on the date of the friendly match of the national teams on March 23 in Tehran.

Watch live broadcasts of matches of the Russian national football teams on the Match TV federal channel and the thematic channels of the holding, as well as on matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
