Valery Karpin’s wife said that the coach considers Artem Dziuba a good football player
Daria Karpina, the wife of the head coach of the Russian national football team Valery Karpin, revealed his opinion about the Zenit forward Artem Dziuba. She spoke about this in the release of the YouTube channel “Without Water”.
According to her, the coach considers the striker a good player who can help. She explained that Karpin did not call Dziuba to the first meeting of the national team because the player was out of shape. “Apparently, Dzyuba was offended by this, because when he was called to the second training camp, he said: “But I don’t want to,” she commented on the situation.
Earlier, Karpin said that Dziuba expressed a desire to return to the Russian national team. “I met with the Zenit players who were in the national team. Artem also asked for a meeting. He said that he was ready and wanted to play for the national team, ”he shared. Karpin advised the striker to train and stated that the headquarters would decide whether to call him or not.
In September last year, 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 suboptimal shape.
