Former goalkeeper of the USSR national team, Anzor Kavazashvili, commented on the incident involving Artem Dzyuba and a journalist, suggesting that the striker should let his performance on the field do the talking rather than respond to provocations. He emphasized that words spoken in the heat of the moment can be used against a player, and advised Dzyuba to avoid fueling confrontation. Kavazashvili’s stance reflects a belief that a calm, focused approach can help a player protect his reputation and concentrate on the game rather than getting drawn into unnecessary disputes with members of the press. Words can be powerful, but they should be chosen with care, especially in professional football where every statement can be scrutinized and misinterpreted by fans and media alike.
