In the 22nd week match of the Russian Premier League (RPL), Lokomotiv Moscow’s football player Artem Dzyuba played in St. Petersburg commented on the defeat of Zenit on social networks.
The match took place on April 9 at the RZD-Arena in Moscow and ended with a score of 2:1 in favor of the guests.
“I want to apologize for my game. The situation wasn’t very good for me. Maybe it even got burned somehow. It seems that he was internally calm, he probably had some kind of situation in mind. I wanted the team to win. Maybe he even wanted it too badly.
Unfortunately we lost. It’s so sickening right now, fundamentally disgusting, but you have to experience it. I wholeheartedly believe that our team has character. There is everything to be stronger in the future. Let’s lose today, but with our heads held high.
At the moment we are already competitive and playing on equal terms with the champion of the country. I hope next season these youngsters will be more mature, stronger and everything will be fine for them. This is a big lesson for us, especially for me. Because you need to calm down.
You think that everything should be okay, but in reality it happens that once in life it is even worth losing, stumble a lot and get a nice slap in the face, slap you in the face. It can even become a great driving force in your life and career,” said the football player, and continued his words as follows:
After the match, the rail forward did not shake hands with Zenit head coach Sergei Semak, explaining that he had not seen him.
Zenit continues to lead the Russian Championship with 54 points. Lokomotiv is in 11th place with 25 points.
