The head coach of the Russian national team Valery Karpin spoke about the likelihood of the return of the striker of the St. Petersburg “Zenith” Artem Dziuba to the national team. His words are quoted by Sport-Express.
The specialist said that he did not understand the football player’s phrase that he was ready to meet the national team. “What does it mean? He is a Zenit football player, let him train and play. Everyone should do their own thing, ”the coach considered.
In December last year, Dziuba said that he was ready to reconcile with Karpin in order to return to the national team. He noted that he is ready to return to the national team if undercover games disappear there.
In September, Dziuba refused to be called up to the national team for the October qualifying matches for the 2022 World Cup. The forward motivated this by the fact that he is in a suboptimal shape for this. The 33-year-old striker has made 25 appearances for the Blues in all competitions this season, scoring ten goals and providing seven assists.
