Former Spartak Moscow football player Andrey Tikhonov shared his views on Lokomotiv Moscow’s forward Artem Dzyuba’s pre-match match against Akhmat Grozny in the 19th week of the Russian Premier League (RPL).
Recall that in the last round, Dzyuba scored a hat-trick in the winning match with Rostov (3: 1).
Loko confidently entered the second part of the RPL. Empowerment in the form of Dziuba more than justifies itself. Dziuba is like Ibrahimovic in Milan: Even if he doesn’t score, he has a huge motivational effect on the team. And then he scores, ”says Tikhonov Metaratings.ru.
The meeting between Lokomotiv and Akhmat will take place on March 11 in Grozny. Teams will enter the field at 16:30 Moscow time.
On February 3, it was learned that Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been training in the AC Milan general group for the first time in eight months. The 41-year-old striker has been recovering from surgery on his left knee since May 2022. In July, the Swede extended his contract with Milan until the end of the 2022/23 season, despite his injury.
Former former Lokomotiv player Dmitry Sychev expressed confidence That Valery Karpin, the head coach of the Russian national team, will never again call Artem Dzyuba to the national team.
