Andrey Mostovoy spoke about not calling Dziuba to the national team

The coaching staff wanted to invite young players to the matches with Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, but now there will be more serious games, Zenit midfielder Andrey Mostovoy told Sport24, commenting on the absence of Lokomotiv striker Artem Dzyuba in the Russian national team.

– Is it right that players over 30 are not invited to the national team now? The same Dzyubu?

– He has such a situation … You need to score only one goal for the record (now Dzyuba and Kerzhakov have 30 goals each. – approx.).

And perhaps they want to invite young people to the games with Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan and try them. If not in these matches, then when at all? It was such that people came, looked at them and did not call again. But that doesn’t mean they performed poorly. It’s just that the coaching staff wants to see the maximum number of players. It happened that you come to the national team, and I haven’t seen half of the players there yet.

But now there will be more serious games. With the same Iran called our legionnaires. This is also correct. And there was too much negativity after the unsuccessful games with Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan.

A friendly match between the national teams of Iran and Russia will be held at the Azadi Stadium in Tehran on Thursday, March 23. Watch the live broadcast of the game on the Match TV channel from 19:50 (Moscow time). You can also follow the match on matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
