“Dziuba at Zenith would certainly pull” – Tikhonov

Former Spartak player Andrei Tikhonov told RB Sport that Lokomotiv forward Artem Dzyuba would cope with his duties at Zenit.

– Surprised by what Dzyuba is doing?

– No. And who said that Artem doesn’t know how to score or he doesn’t have motivation? Look, after each round he sends greetings to the coaches who did not take him to the team. And he goes out and beats everyone in a row, and then manages to stuff everyone and tell, reproach everyone who did not take him.

– Would he pull at Zenit now?

– Casierra is now, by and large, about nothing.

– One league goal.

– We are talking about the fact that foreigners should be like Malcolm, Wendel, Claudinho, Barrios, Promes, Moses. They decorate our championship. Dziuba in Zenith would definitely pull. He has an incredible motivation – to prove to everyone that he is a football player.

Dzyuba in August 2022, after the departure of their Zenit, moved to the Turkish club Adana Demirspor. In November, the football player left the club, after which he joined Lokomotiv in the winter transfer window. The 34-year-old has made 15 appearances this season, scoring 9 goals and making 4 assists.
