Former Spanish Celta player Alexander Mostovoy believes that Lokomotiv Moscow is heavily dependent on striker Artem Dzyuba. He shared his opinion with him vprognoze.ru.
Zenit should win 2:1. Loko is too dependent on Dziuba! In my opinion, they themselves believed this and understood it. We see that even though Dzyuba looked like he wasn’t doing anything when he was there, they kicked the ball 30-40 meters away, took it, threw it, that’s it, they rushed to the attack. When he is not there, they look up, raise their heads, and there is no one there. How many games like this have we seen? So there is a huge dependency there. The former football player said that he will be needed in the team tomorrow too.
The red-greens will play against Zenit St. Petersburg on September 24. They will face St. Petersburg. The meeting will start on September 24 at 16.30 Moscow time.
Dzyuba signed a contract with Lokomotiv last season. Later, the player and the club extended the contract under the 1+1 plan. Before that, the striker played for Adana Demirspor in Turkey. At the beginning of November 2022, the parties terminated the contract.
Zenit is in second place in the Russian Championship rankings with 17 points. Lokomotiv is in eighth place with 12 points.
Former president of Lokomotiv statedI think Dzyuba will be almost unnoticed in the match against Zenit.
