Dzyuba criticized Karpin’s approach to the selection of national team players with the words “call everyone”
Lokomotiv forward Artem Dzyuba spoke about the difficult relationship with the head coach of the Russian national team Valery Karpin. His words are quoted by the Nobel YouTube channel.
“This tension does not come from me. When we talked with him, I sincerely came to convey that the ax was buried and all for the sake of the national team, ”admitted the athlete. He added that he would have agreed to play for the national team if he had been called up.
Dzyuba also criticized Karpin’s approach to choosing the players of the national team. “He is now calling everyone. I was closer to the approach of Stanislav Salamovich and Capello, that a place in the national team must be earned. You have to deserve it, ”said the striker. He stated that he was angry with the attitude of the current team members towards friendly matches, and called their performance lack of will.
Earlier, Dziuba said that he left Zenit in the spring of 2022 due to the abundance of Brazilians in the club (at the moment, seven representatives of this country play for the team – approx. “Tapes.ru”). “In any case, I didn’t want to stay anymore. I understood that Zenit St. Petersburg was turning into Zenit Rio de Janeiro or Sao Paulo. Clearly, now the Brazilian direction. I think it’s wrong,” he explained.
