Magkeev noted the role of Dzyuba in Lokomotiv

Lokomotiv defender Stanislav Magkeev noted that forward Artem Dzyuba plays an important role in the Moscow team.

Dzyuba joined the railroad in February. At the end of May, the 34-year-old striker extended his contract with Lokomotiv until the end of the 2023/24 season with the possibility of extending the contract for another year.

– In winter, Dziuba came to the team. What did he bring with him besides eight heads?

– When it became officially known that Dzyuba was moving to Lokomotiv, I was delighted. I knew that a strong player was coming to us. His playing style does not suggest that he has to run a lot. So there was no question about his age. With our specifics of the championship, he will be able to play as long as he wants. Artem gives quality on the field. Plus helps the young in the locker room. We joke with each other, defuse the situation. With victories comes good mood. In addition to Dzyuba, I would also mention the other guys who came in the winter: Pinyaev, Glushenkov, Lantratov. Specifically, Dziuba is in the top three RPL strikers for me, ”Sport24 quotes Magkeev.

Dziuba last season WORLD RPL played 11 matches, scored eight goals and gave five assists.
