Forward of the St. Petersburg “Zenith” Artem Dzyuba shared his impressions after a friendly match against the Slovak “Zilina”. His words are given on the team’s website.
The footballer said that he liked playing as a defender, as he never did. “There are no replacements, as you can see, so we, as they say, like Spartans, we got up in the gorge and stand, holding on. Normal, cool feeling, kayfanul,” he said. In addition, Dzyuba assessed his physical form, noting that he was ready for four plus.
On January 11, Zenit CEO Alexander Medvedev denied rumors that Dzyuba might leave the club. Earlier, the media attributed Kazan Rubin interest in the striker.
In the current draw of the Russian Premier League, Dziuba scored ten goals in 17 matches. He has been playing for the club since 2015 and has become the national champion three times.
