Yevgeny Kaleshin, the head coach of Akron Togliatti, criticized the recent public appearance by Artem Dziuba and Leonid Slutsky, saying the broadcast did not offer any positive value. This stance was reported by DEA News.
According to Kaleshin, he has no plan to attend the show featuring Dziuba and Slutsky. He stated that while he respects the individuals, Slutsky’s entertainment program crosses from football into a different arena that does not contribute to the sport. The coach emphasized that the airing fails to deliver constructive content for football or its fans, as noted by DEA News.
Currently, Dzyuba and Slutsky are collaborating on a YouTube football program titled Well, that’s impossible. In this project, the footballer blends media commitments with his duties as a player for Lokomotiv Moscow, while Slutsky remains without a coaching role after parting ways with Rubin Kazan. Viewers have criticized the program for what they perceive as excessive use of crude language in the broadcasts, a critique echoed by observers cited in DEA News.
Former national team striker and commentator have described Slutsky and Dziuba’s show as a controversial distraction that may undermine the focus and seriousness traditionally associated with football discussions. This reaction appears across football circles and media coverage, including reflections reported by DEA News.
