The best sniper RPL in recent years he has found himself in Kazan.

I don’t laugh, but the situation with Dzyuba is reminiscent of Ronaldo’s launch. In their sandboxes, these are the big stars of the recent past. And now, trying to find new teams, they both have had problems. But Zenit turned out to be more honest: they did not renew with Artem. And Manchester United lies about the fact that around the 37-year-old footballer Ten Hag they will be able to build a new project. Good even if Cristiano does not thunder on the bench, because without him the team will be more lively and more comfortable to train.

Even if Ronaldo himself plays phenomenally, then they are two fabulous years with scoring, after which the Red Devils will not put a “closed” sign on the Old Trafford gate. Zenit also understood that it was necessary to move forward. Among other things, Ronaldo, like Dzyuba, greatly influences the life of the team. They both have had enough problems with coaches in their careers. Zidane is a friend of Benzema, but their relationship with Cristiano is much more complicated. It is clear that the Portuguese is a football legend and his appearance in any club brings him money, but with Dziuba there is no effect.

But basically, the reasons why any strong manager suggests abandoning Cristiano or Artyom in two adjacent realities are almost the same. He silently walked away from Ronaldo PSG and Bayern, and Dzyuba ended up in Kazan, where, under the supervision of his friend Slutsky, he is taking shape. Leonid Viktorovich gave such a chance to several football players he knew, this does not mean that Artem will play for Rubin. But his departure abroad is delayed due to the club scouts’ gaze on the player. Analysts make lists of pros and cons, and there are many of the latter.

Age of the attacker

We know that Ibrahimovic, Ronaldo or the Serie A attacking classics played successfully at the same age as Dzyuba. But any foreign club sees that the striker is already 34 years old, and understands that the newcomer will close the office for a maximum of two years, no more. Therefore, you need to be sure that you take one person as a basis – it is stupid to bench not a young local, but a newcomer with a large salary. It will also be helpful to adequately explain to management that the forward is better than the other candidates. Dziuba is known as a player, but not as a person, so analysts are in no rush to take chances by vouching for him.

Character and reputation

It is clear that rude trolling, like Guberniev’s, is out of place. Dzyuba is ambiguous, but he played very well in football. Many strikers at 34 find the clubs without problems, because they have great agents, while Artem does not. This is an unusual fruit on the portly tree. It is clear that foreign fans don’t read the Russian press and don’t know about the Dziuba man any more than you know about Burak Yilmaz or Luka Jovic. But the former Zenit leader has built a reputation for himself. One side is good – according to the results world Cup-18 was praised, while the other is controversial. The scouts are digging deeper and, if they contact their Russian colleagues, they will describe Dzyuba’s character as a conflict. He imagines that the director of the middle peasants of the La Liga consults Karpin or Emery about Artem. You know what characterization they will give.

Salary of the football player

In principle, the first reason why Dziuba has not yet signed a contract with any Turkish, Serbian or other club. If the appetites were more modest, then Galatasaray himself, given the failure of last season, agreed with such an increase. But foreign clubs are not bound by the limit to foreign players, as in RPL, do not have overpayment for a passport. And Dziuba is not used to discounting, especially since this is his last major career contract. And not everywhere ready to play just because of the money. In many countries, such as France, there are such taxes that Dzyuba will refuse 1.5 million euros per year, which can eventually turn into half of this amount.

The attacker’s style of play

Dzyuba had two forms of success. First, when Danny and Hulk (mostly seconds) gave him amazing passes, then Artem, as a striker, scored enough goals. But this period was a seed, because after the exile in Tula, with the help of the coach Semak, a man with a different role appeared, the second striker Dziuba. A rather rare beast that needs an Azmoun-style teammate: a free-kick striker, master of offside traps and second-rate play. Not all clubs are as rich and lucky as Zenit to collect such a pair. And in the role of central striker the disadvantages of Dzyuba appear: he becomes slower with age, we have seen changes in form. But the attacker is not greedy, the scouts note not only the weaknesses, but also the strengths.

Impact on the team

And adaptation, because he has never played abroad. How many languages ​​does Dzyuba speak qualitatively? Are you ready to urgently learn Turkish or Serbian to understand Fenerbahce or Red Star teammates? Will the Arab pull? How well do you understand and speak English if you join a club with a foreign manager? Such simple questions are asked by people with whom the attacker has negotiated. At the same time, Dziuba was an informal and sometimes official leader of the Russian national team and Zenith. This is the leader, he wants to be laughed at after his jokes. He allowed himself to tease his partners, and it is clear that not everyone liked it, even if they did not show it. No one will pay for the problems, a football scout of any level – be it an average Italian analyst who looks at cuts on specialized sites and studies the numbers, or a sports director of a Turkish or Serbian club, begins to doubt.

It is easier to convince the coach and management that Dziuba is not needed, rather than vice versa, so people are insured against risks. The situation is indicative. If, at the age of 34, a physically gifted striker – it is foolish to deny that Dzyuba is a powerful guy, knows how to win the fight on horseback and open up in shock positions by putting the body, he cannot find a new club for so to long, then this is a bad sign for the Russian market. Although Artem is a free agent, he has already understood that no one will repeat his salary at Zenit: about 3.6 million euros per year. So far no one has given half the amount and Slutsky needs to be convinced by the leadership of Rubin and the whole team, where salaries are cut due to leaving for FNLthat Dzyuba is special. it was special RPL – The most productive striker in tournament history. Four years ago he was invited in his place, even in the top 5. And now above is any scout’s objective view of the situation.

Leave a free agent, but it is better to sign a young Colombian or Argentine for money with a similar salary and in a couple of years sell three times more expensive. In a couple of years Dziuba will retire from football and if now only a longtime friend of the club is ready to see him FNLthen it’s time to spit on football, European competitions, league level and earn the last few million in United Arab Emirates o Saudi Arabia.
