Oleg Romantsev, former head coach of Spartak and the Russian national team, wished Akron Togliatti striker Artem Dzyuba to remind him in terms of play to deserve a call to the Russian national team. His words guide the way “Sports Express”.
“I think Dziuba understands that if he meets the requirements of the national team today, he will not refuse Valery Karpin’s invitation, despite the difficult relations between them. Moreover, Brunei is one of those opponents where it is child’s play to set up the scorer’s score,” said Romantsev.
Dzyuba shares first place with Alexander Kerzhakov in the number of goals for the Russian national team – both scored 30 goals.
The forward in the Russian national team participated in the 2016 and 2020 European Championships and the 2018 World Championship. He stopped receiving calls to the national team in 2021, when Valery Karpin, with whom he had a long disagreement, took over as head coach of the national team.
Dziuba admitted that he wants to play for the Russian national team ahead of friendly matches against Brunei (11:0) and Syria (4:0).
“I am not in a position to show off right now. I would go. It is truly a great honor for me to be called to the national team. When people ask me what I miss most in football, I answer: The anthem of the country,” he said.
Previously Russian coach he joked About Dziuba not being called to the national team.
