The Iranian Zenit striker Serdar Azmun supported Artyom Dziuba, who refused to be called up to the Russian national team for the qualification matches for the 2022 World Cup. His words are quoted by “Championship.com”.
According to Azmun, Dziuba is a qualified player who can help the national team. “You have to understand Dziuba because he played a lot for the national team. If he says that he cannot help her, then it is, he is not lying. I also once said that I would not be able to help my national team, I had not played for three months, ”said the forward.
On October 20 Zenit lost 0-1 to Juventus in the Champions League group stage match. Dziuba spent 60 minutes on the field and did not score with effective actions, after which he was replaced by Azmun. After three rounds, the blue-white-blue with three points are in third place in the table of group H.
On October 13, the head coach of the Russian national team, Valery Karpin, allowed Dziuba to return to the national team. In September, the striker was included in the extended list of the national team for the qualification matches for the 2022 World Cup, but then turned down the challenge, citing sub-optimal form.
