In an interview with socialbites.ca, former coach of the Russian national football team Boris Ignatiev talked about the game of striker Artem Dzyuba in the match between the capital Lokomotiv and Krasnodar in the 20th week of the Russian Premier League (RPL).
According to him, the 34-year-old striker has not yet shown the maximum of his abilities in the red-greens.
“I think Dziuba hasn’t played an overly active game yet. Still on the move, looking for his best condition. He is also a very important, very bright figure for Lokomotiv.
The ability to hold the ball distracts players from the immediate problems of the enemy’s defensive line and helps players next to or below him to use the empty space.
He’s great at winning aerial battles and catching the ball, which brings a lot of benefits to the team. And most importantly, he scores goals. No matter how we characterize him, he put an end to it by scoring the winning goal and bringing three points to Lokomotiv, ”Ignatiev told socialbites.ca.
Recall that the game “Lokomotiv” – “Krasnodar” ended in a strong-willed victory for the home team with a score of 3:2.
Former Boris Ignatiev announced Lokomotiv’s victory over Krasnodar with successful substitutions.
