Lokomotiv does not need to start playing on Dziuba, the team has strong players” – Semshov

Chaika head coach Igor Semshov believes that Lokomotiv Moscow should not start a game on striker Artem Dziuba.

According to Metaratings.ru, the 34-year-old forward will not play in the match of the fifth round of the WORLD RPL against Krasnodar. Dziuba continues to recover from injury.

– When Dziuba is on the attack at Lokomotiv, these are only attacking methods. His presence on the field adds confidence to the partners. It helps to tighten and enable the Red-Green players to play. A team like Lokomotiv does not need to tie the game on one person, as strong players are gathered there who must stick to their line and convert their chances.

– Does Lokomotiv need a second striker who can replace Dzyuba?

– Of course, a replacement striker is needed. Any coach wants to have two or three people in the position, especially when the team is fighting for high places.

– How many goals will Dziuba score in the new season?

– It’s unpredictable. If Artem is not pursued by injuries, disqualifications, then he should score 7-8 goals, or even more, – RB Sport quotes Semshov.

Watch the live broadcast of the Krasnodar-Lokomotiv match on Saturday starting at 19:15 on the Match TV channel, as well as on matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
