Lokomotiv’s forward Artem Dzyuba said that he is ready to communicate with working journalists “without dirt”. His words are quoted “Match TV”.
“Yes, I’m talking to you now. There would be more people who are really doing their job, interested in football itself, the process itself, it’s interesting to reveal personalities in football… You can talk about anything, but without getting dirty. And now there is so much jaundice in football for the sake of opinion and exaggeration , I do not think it is right to agree with this. There must be some principles and concepts,” Dzyuba said.
This season, Dziuba stopped communicating with journalists in the mixed zone after a scandal with an employee of a media outlet.
Dziuba signed a contract with Lokomotiv last season. Later, the player and the club extended the contract under the 1+1 plan.
This season, Dzyuba played 16 matches in the Russian Championship and four matches in the National Cup and scored four goals and three assists. Last season, the striker shared the title of the team’s top scorer with Izidor and Miranchuk, playing for only half of the season.
Former Lokomotiv player offered Dzyuba will fight in the octagon.
