Former football player of CSKA and the USSR national team Vladimir Ponomarev believes that for the striker of Moscow Lokomotiv Artem Dzyuba, the upcoming season will be the last at the top level. Words lead the way DEA News.
“This season has been very successful for Dzyuba. I did not expect such agility from him, but this rarely happens again. The man is already ending his sports career. Maybe it will somehow win back the last year but it won’t be enough for more. He is not a player of the same class as Ronaldo or Messi.
He’s old enough to tell her it’s time to finish anyway. I think this season will be the last for him and he will end his career at Lokomotiv. They won’t take it anywhere else. It is necessary to finish and not be dishonorable, ”said Ponomarev.
The 34-year-old striker joined Lokomotiv in February 2023. At the end of May, he signed a new contract with the railway with the possibility of an extension for another year until the end of the 2023/24 season.
Last season, Dzyuba made 13 appearances in all competitions for Lokomotiv, scoring eight goals and providing five assists in those matches.
At the end of the 2022/23 season, Lokomotiv ranked eighth in the league rankings.
Former manager of Lokomotiv asked Dziubu to reduce the amount of obscene language.
