Former head of Lokomotiv Nikolai Naumov believes that “railway workers” did not succeed in offensive actions in the absence of striker Artem Dzyuba. Transmits words “Championship”.
“The team’s play is a depressing impression. I don’t know what this is related to: either they are looking for their game or Dziuba’s absence is affecting it. We are used to playing for Dziuba, who will withdraw and start attacking. Apparently, some kind of addiction to Dzyuba arose in Lokomotiv. Without it, unfortunately, the attack doesn’t work. There is no player who can catch or release the ball. From that and no attacking game. That’s why “Wings” had a big advantage,” said Naumov.
On 12 August, Lokomotiv hosted Krylya Sovetov and drew 1-1. Dzyuba did not take part in the match.
In February, Dziuba became a Lokomotiv player. Before that, he played for Adana Demirspor in Turkey.
In the new season, the striker scored one goal, playing three games in the Russian Championship and another in the Russian Cup. On August 8, the striker missed the match against Rubin.
