Artem Dzyuba said that he and Valery Karpin have long had no complaints against each other
Lokomotiv striker Artem Dzyuba spoke about the conversation with the coach of Rostov and the Russian national team Valery Karpin at the award ceremony at the end of the season in the Russian Premier League (RPL). The words of the athlete leads RIA Novosti.
“We saw each other, said hello, no complaints. We have long buried the hatchet with him. The national team was not discussed – he is the head coach, and I am not a national team player at the moment. What can we discuss? Dziuba said.
On March 1, Dzyuba 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.
Dzyuba played under the leadership of Karpin in Spartak in the 2011/2012 season. In 2021, the coach did not call the striker to the national team for the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. Later, Karpin included the striker in the extended list of the team, but he refused to play due to poor game form.
