The coach of the Russian national team Karpin said that the hatchet between him and Artem Dzyuba is buried
The head coach of the Russian national football team Valery Karpin spoke about his relationship with Lokomotiv forward Artem Dzyuba. His words are quoted by Sport24.
Karpin said that the hatchet between him and the player was buried even before the player was going to be called up to the national team. The coach added that they talked a little at the Heroes of the Russian Premier League award ceremony following the 2022/2023 season.
On March 1, Dziuba 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 [Черчесова] And [Фабио] 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.
