The head coach of the Russian national team Valery Karpin answered the question about the possible return to the team of Artem Dziuba. This is reported by the “Rating of Bookmakers”.
Karpin admitted that he could call Zenit striker again. “If you need him, we’ll call. If he wants, he will come, ”he noted.
Karpin also said that he did not see any conflict between him and Dziuba. “Are we unlikely to come to an agreement with him? About what? I am the coach of the team. I call the player. It is up to him whether to come or not, ”he added.
On September 20, Dziuba was included in the extended list of the national team. However, the Zenit striker refused to be called up to the national team, citing sub-optimal form. Experts saw this as a continuation of the conflict between Karpin and Dziuba.
Karpin took over the national team in July. The contract with a specialist is valid until December 2021. The agreement will be extended if Karpin gets the national team into the play-offs at the 2022 World Cup.
