Lokomotiv will benefit from striker Artem Dzyuba as team captain, according to Valery Barinov, Honored Artist of Russia and fan of the Moscow football club.

Lokomotiv in the 19th round of the WORLD RPL defeated Akhmat with a score of 1:0. Muscovites captain Dmitry Barinov missed the game due to disqualification. Defender Stanislav Magkeev entered the field with the captain’s armband, but already in the middle of the first half he was sent off for two yellow cards. After the removal of Magkeev, the captain’s armband passed to Artem Dzyuba. For the 34-year-old football player, this was only the fourth match for Lokomotiv after the winter transfer.

– It’s good that Lokomotiv won. Football players are great. So, there are some improvements in the team. As for Dzyuba’s captain’s armband, I don’t see any contenders, who else should I give it to? Pinyaev? Dzyuba is the most respected player of Lokomotiv. Of course, he had to give the bandage. If he had come out with the captain’s armband from the first minutes, then everyone would have screamed at once. Artem is already an uncle at Lokomotiv. The railway workers will benefit from Dziuba as a captain, Barinov told RB Sport.
