Yuri Nagornykh, Chairman of the Board of Lokomotiv Moscow, said that the information regarding the possible termination of his contract with striker Artem Dzyuba due to his behavior in the media is not correct. Words lead the way “Match TV”.
“The information that was released two days ago is not correct. Yesterday at the Bakovka base we had a friendly match with Astrakhan “Volgar”, Artem played in the first half, scored a goal.
I saw how warmly the fans of the Lokovostok group, loyal to the club, who visited Bakovka, communicated with him, how long-established and well-informed adults who were well-versed in football, sincerely supported the club and worried about him, communicated warmly. That says a lot,” said Nagornykh.
On June 29, information appeared on the Telegram channels that in the coming days the leadership of the “railroaders” will make a final decision on the possible termination of the contract with Dziuba, as they are not satisfied with their behavior in the media.
In the spring, Loko striker and former CSKA coach and Rubin Kazan Leonid Slutsky hosted the football-related program “Well, it’s impossible” on YouTube. Viewers criticized the presenters for the large amount of obscene language in the broadcasts.
In the 2022/23 season, Dziuba made 13 appearances in all competitions for Lokomotiv, scoring eight goals and providing five assists in these matches. Lokomotiv took eighth place in the Russian championship standings.
formerly Slutsky parodied scandalous video Dziuba.
