Famous Russian football player in the past, former striker of the Russian national team and now politician Dmitry Bulykin commented on the exclusion of striker Artem Dziub from the expanded list of players of the national team for the March training camp.
“Dziuba hasn’t played many matches since the hiatus and hasn’t completed all of his training camps, so he still needs to get his playing spirit. He scored – he’s handsome of course. They could have called but they didn’t, nothing to worry about. Artyom now has other primary duties: Lokomotiv’ to help him get out of a difficult situation and to reach a good level of playing, remember his style. And of course sign a good contract with Lokomotiv. I think of course he was not offended, but next time he will continue to train and play with doubled energy to get into the national team , ”Bulykin said in an interview with a socialbites.ca correspondent.
Valery Karpin included 41 players in the extended roster of the main team of the country. Dziuba has three matches for Lokomotiv. In the Russian Cup, he failed to advance in two matches against Spartak Moscow (0:1, 2:4), but he scored a hat-trick (3:1) against Rostov in the RPL match.
