Artem Dzyuba was born in Moscow in 1988. His parents were far from professional sports. His father worked in law enforcement, his mother worked in trade, first as a seller, and then as a deputy head of a store. How could an ordinary boy become the most expensive scorer of the Russian national team?
The future football player's passion for sports began at the age of 6. The boys spent all the fine days in the courtyard kicking the ball, dreaming of football glory, during the periods when matches were shown on TV. Street training was not in vain, and Dziuba ended up in the football section of Moscow, and then - in the Spartak football academy. Then Dziuba was 8 years old.
The future professional footballer went through all the highlights of his career at FC Spartak Moscow, starting with the youth squad, then the youth squad, and finally, in 2005, he became a member of the reserve squad. A year later, the athlete's game was noticed and transferred to the main team, where he made his debut in 2006 against the Yekaterinburg Urals as part of the Russian Cup. For about a year I had to work as a “number two” coming out as a substitute and playing out small fragments of matches, but the zeal and constantly growing skill were rearranged in the starting lineup of the team.
2007 becomes a landmark year for the striker, in 27 league games he scores 6 goals and receives the title of “Top Scorer”. With this title comes honor and respect among colleagues, management, as well as an even greater interest in the life of a football player among fans.
Competent work and constant professional development affected the interests of someone from the team, and possibly the club's management. There was a scandal.
In 2009, when Spartak was at a competition in Austria, one of the participants in the event lost money. The amount was not specified, but insider sources told the media at the time that it was impressive, even for non-poverty-stricken footballers. It is not clear how this happened, but the money allegedly missing from Vladimir Bystrov ended up among Dziuba's personal belongings.
The situation developed very quickly and here we should pay tribute to the restraint of Artyom, who steadfastly endured all the accusations and did not tire of repeating that he was the victim of a scam aimed at expelling him. The owners of Spartak did not dare to fire the top scorer of Russia and transferred him to “Tom”, where Artyom played the 2009-2010 season. Here he showed his best side, very quickly becoming the main striker and scoring 10 goals per season.
Apparently, the one who sent him into exile did not expect such results and returned the prodigal son back. Subsequently, the version that the transfer to another club was supposed to break him and force him to voluntarily break the contract, but when the severity of the situation forced him to play better than before, the organizers of the provocation had to play back.
At the end of the season, the player returns to his home team and plays the next two football years with dignity. Dziuba becomes the author of one of the goals in a remarkable game against Basel (3: 2). 2012 becomes a landmark, as it brings him the captain's armband and in the debut match in this title, the club wins over Zenit. At the same time “Spartak” entered the Champions League. However, the increase in activity gave way to a noticeable decline, in the quality of the game, and in relations with the management. The result is a transfer to the lease to “Rostov”. Here Artyom played again and was noted in several key moments thanks to which he received the title of “top scorer”. As part of “Rostov”, the player won the first major trophy - the Cup of the Russian Federation.
In the off-season 2014-2015, the term of the contract with the Spartak club came to an end. The management proposed to extend it on the same terms. Naturally, Artem refused and announced his readiness to consider adequate proposals from other clubs. And those followed. The first media report was the assumption that the player would sign a contract with Lokomotiv, but a counter-offer from Zenit (St. Petersburg) with a fee of 3.3 million euros turned out to be more attractive and the agreement was concluded. According to the footballer, one of the reasons for accepting the proposal was the club's mission - “To win every match, no matter what”... This motivation played a decisive role.
Team life of Artem Dziuba
The footballer has been in the second national team of the Russian Federation since 2011, where he came from the youth team. By the end of the year, he moved to the main squad and entered the field against the US team, where his partner Roman Shirokov converted the penalty earned by Dzyuba.
2015 brought a new title to the player who scored the decisive goal for the Swedes and 4 goals for Liechtenstein. Now, in addition to being recognized as the top scorer, he became the second in the history of the Russian national team to score more than 3 goals in one game.
In 2016, there was another scandal that could lead to another “business trip” to clubs from the middle of the list. In the match against Krasnodar, the scorer of the Russian national team managed to print the goal of the rivals in the 86th minute. However, the triumph did not happen, as the opponents managed to hit the Zenit gate twice in stoppage time. Dziuba flared up and showed an indecent gesture towards his partner Yuri Lodygin (goalkeeper).
The media immediately unleashed the story and announced that after the final whistle, a fight broke out between partners on the basis of accusations of defeat. Subsequently, neither the leaders of the club, nor the players themselves confirmed the information.
In 2017, Dziuba was appointed team captain, who came as GT Mircea Lucescu. Soon after that, Artyom's instagram was replenished with a record that with a heavy heart he decided to move to one of the clubs in China, where fees are noticeably higher, and the level of domestic players is sufficient for victories. Most of the users who commented on this post considered it a fake, in fact it turned out to be so.
The end of 2017 was marked by Dziuba's hundredth match for Zenit and his withdrawal from the main team. Immediately there was talk that another transfer or rental was coming. The main version was seen as a lease to the CSKA club, but it was not confirmed. Soon, representatives announced the lease of the player by Tula Arsenal. One of the reasons for such a castling was the relationship between the top scorer of the Russian national team and the replacement Lucescu - Roberto Mancini, who brought the player out of the base. Often there were statements that the player had lost his form and was not showing the best results. However, the transition turned out to be useful, since in Arsenal Dziuba got a place in the main team and began to score actively.
The proof that the transition was in favor of the player was the result of the Zenit - Arsenal game, in which Dziuba equalized and drew the game on the 89th minute. Celebrating the goal he had scored, he walked up to the Zenith bench and pointed to the name on the uniform, turning his back to Mancini.
Personal life of Artem Dziuba
The footballer is married, his wife's name is Christina and their relationship developed according to the classics of the genre. At the time of this writing, their son Nikita is 5 years old.
And this side of a football player's life did not pass calmly. Thematic media and portals were excited by reports that Dziuba was captured in a car with a girl in whom Internet users recognized TV presenter Maria Orzul. The scandal arose with lightning speed, although the photo of two people in the car does not allow us to talk about adultery. However, in this situation she was present, and mutual.
“For me, that situation turned out to be an important lesson that showed that I could lose” - he comments on the incident - “My wife and I had a long conversation and I am ashamed of my act, which I will no longer do. I am very grateful to Christina for helping to save the family. "
At the end of 2016, Russia's top scorer became a father for the second time. Although he does not like to advertise his personal life and has an extremely negative attitude towards journalists trying to catch another fried news, in one of his interviews for the official website of Arsenal, he mentioned that the eldest son is actively involved in football, and the youngest has not yet shown an open craving for something -or, except mischief.
Top scorer of the Russian national football team 2018
Despite harsh statements against Spartak fans, which caused a flurry of criticism and emotional statements, Dziuba remains the most expensive player in the Russian national team and from the first days of the formation of the team for the 2018 World Cup was fixed at the base.
The first match and he scored a goal with a head immediately after coming on as a substitute. The second appearance on the field, against Egypt, also did not remain without a flourish of the ball in the opponents' goal after the striker hit.
1/8 finals and again Dziuba is distinguished by the only goal in regulation time, after which Akinfeev did the impossible (beat off a penalty with his prone foot)!
After the defeat in the game with Croatia, Artem shared his feelings, not holding back his tears:
“Despite the fact that our hearts are broken by defeat and withdrawal from the competition, we console ourselves with the fact that we showed a decent game and reminded the whole world that Russian football is still alive.”
Trophy row of Artem Dziuba
The footballer played his entire career in domestic clubs, therefore he does not have high-profile titles or trophies of the Champions League level, however, it would be wrong not to mention his achievements:

His parents worked in different countries. My father worked as a policeman in the Ukrainian city of Lubny, Poltava region. His mother worked as a grocery saleswoman in an even smaller town in Tsivilsk. But Tsivilsk was in Russia. Having risen in office, she became deputy director. In this store, the parents met.
The family did not live well. Having moved to Moscow, at first they lived in a communal apartment, and only then could they buy an apartment.
First appearances and 2006 season
At the age of 8, Artem Dzyuba enters the academy. "Spartacus", where he was invited after watching. While in the academy until 2005, the footballer moved to the senior team and began playing in the backup squad.

Playing against Germany, the footballer scored two goals. “Spartak” lost in this match, and Artem was unable to save “Spartak” from defeat.

It's unpleasant, but the footballer again became a substitute. In 2008 he played matches, but not completely. He scored only a single goal against Moscow “Dynamo”, and the “red-white” team was thus able to escape defeat.
In this year's cup match, I managed to score two goals against Dynamo Bryansk, which is why Spartak made it to the 1/8 finals. In the final match against Tottenham, the British managed to equalize the score - 2: 2. All goals were scored by Dzyuba. After “Spartak” was unable to continue the fight for the trophy.
Transition to "Tom"
Having played 8 matches and scoring only two goals, Vladimir Bystrov had a conflict with Artem. 23 thousand rubles were stolen from Bystrov from the locker in the locker room. The sum was in Dziuba's pocket. He said that he was set up, but they did not believe him and was transferred to the “Tom” team by rent. He could return to Spartak only at the end of the 2010 season.
He moved to Zenit in 2015, and then from June 3, 2018 he became the final player of the Russian national team, having previously played the youth team.

From the age of 8, Artyom studied at the Spartak academy, where he was invited after watching by Alexander Yartsev (son of Georgy Yartsev).
In 2005 he moved to the senior team of Spartak and began playing for the backup team on the recommendation of Evgeny Sidorov.

In the final match of the UEFA Cup group stage against Tottenham, he also scored two goals, but the British managed to equalize, and Spartak could not continue the fight for the trophy.
In 2009, there was a high-profile money theft scandal. His teammate, Vladimir Bystrov, had 23 thousand rubles stolen from his room at a training camp in Austria. Myself Vladimir Bystrov discovered the stolen money in the pocket of Artem Dziuba.
As Artyom explained, he was set up. And he called Bystrov "product number 23".
In the conflict, "Spartak" sided with Bystrov and Dziuba had to leave the club - he was leased to Tomsk. And the second round of the 2009 season he played for Tom.
As the footballer said, "... I was simply removed insolently. There was nothing left for me to do - I was simply presented with a fact. For a month they did not allow me to train. It was obvious that I had to go somewhere. I chose" Tom ".
He returned to Spartak at the end of the 2010 season.
In the 2012/2013 season, Spartak got a new coach - Spaniard Unai Emery. And Dziuba stopped getting into the starting lineup of the team, giving way to Emmanuel Emenike.
November 25, 2012 after a major defeat at Dynamo (1: 5) Dziuba called Emery's head coach "trainer"... On the same day, the Spaniard was fired, and Valery Karpin again took the place of the team's head coach. Under him, the footballer was able to return to the starting lineup of the club, although he did not improve his performance as a forward.
On July 1, 2013, he transferred to the Rostov football club on loan. On July 15, 2013, in his debut match for the new club against Terek, he scored two goals and helped his team achieve victory.

With Rostov, Dziuba won his first trophy - the Cup of Russia.
After a successful season at Rostov in 2014, he returned to Spartak and scored two goals in the first match against Rubin. In the second round in the derby against Dynamo, Artyom again scored two goals and helped his team win a strong-willed victory. On August 23, in the away match of the fifth round with Ufa, Artyom made the third double in four matches, as a result, Spartak won with a score of 1: 2.
However, after a bright start, Dziuba's performance subsided and he managed to score the next goal only in November, in the fourteenth round, hitting the gates of Mordovia.
In October 2014, the media reported that Dziuba had rejected Spartak's offer to extend the contract expiring in June 2015. In November, the president of Spartak Leonid Fedun said that Artyom had already rejected three proposals for a new contract, and that there would be no new proposals.
All goals of Artem Dziuba for "Spartak"
“I think they treated me ugly at Spartak. They didn't even shake my hand. All the shareholders, except Fedun, passed, greeted everyone except me. -humanly approach and talk, looking into the eyes ", - the athlete told about his second conflict at Spartak.
At the end of January 2015, it was reported that Zenit offered the striker a 5-year contract with a salary of 3.3 million euros per year.

Artyom Dzyuba - big Russian forward
He is considered a controversial footballer. However, Artyom himself is sure that he simply has a masculine character and the right to just be himself.
Artem Dzyuba:
“You know, now in football this is more and more common - whether the coach likes you or not. You can be head and shoulders above your competitor, but you will sit in the reserve because you don’t like it. For any reason. Because you just don’t like you humanly. I think this is wrong. We are not in the world of fashion, so that everything is decided on the principle “I like it - I don’t like it.” A girl can be liked. But a guy - what's the difference !?
A complex character or something else - I don't understand this. It seems to me that those who want to win and strive for something are all difficult guys. In such a situation, it’s better for me to say everything honestly to my face and go somewhere than to sit under someone. Lie or smile like a devoted dog, but sit for three or four years, beat yourself in the chest and shout that I am a great Spartak, Zenit, Dynamo player, lick the diamonds ...
Better to be honest and go to Tomsk or Rostov than just sit and not be yourself. Maybe it's somewhat comfortable, but it's not fair. In my opinion, a man should go his own way. The one he thinks is right. That's all".
Artem Dziuba's height: 196 centimeters.
Personal life of Artyom Dziuba:
Married. Wife - Christina.
They met in Nizhny Novgorod. And a month after they met, they decided to legalize the relationship. Then Artyom and Christina had a son, Nikita.
Artyom Dzyuba with his wife Christina

A couple were spotted on the eve of the departure of the Russian national team for the Euro 2016 qualifying match in Montenegro. The footballer left the hotel where the national team lived for a little date in the blonde's car. They were there for about an hour and they were filmed kissing.

The wife of the Zenit striker is not a public person. Christina Dziuba does not give interviews, her name appears only next to the name of her star husband, and even then rarely. Acquaintance with a football player resembles the plot of a film novel, where two men are fighting for the heart of a lady. The girl gave the famous Russian athlete two heirs and managed to find the strength to forgive the high-profile betrayal.
Childhood and youth
The early biography of the girl is a secret sealed with seven seals. The press only knows that Christina was born and raised in Nizhny Novgorod. According to some media reports, the maiden name of the footballer's wife is Orlova.
After school, Christina entered one of the universities in her hometown, where she finished her fourth year. Then, with the support of an athlete-groom, she transferred to the capital's university.
Personal life
Christina met her future husband on New Year's Eve 2012. Then the girl took courtship from another football player, Ivan Komissarov, who grew up under the tutelage of Spartak coaches. The intrigue was that the athlete is a close friend of Dziuba. However, this did not stop Artyom, who fell in love at first sight.
At the invitation of the players, Christina and her friends went to celebrate the New Year in the capital of Russia. The party took place in a rented cottage near Moscow. Dziuba managed to conquer the heart of the fragile beauty of Nizhny Novgorod. He says he won the girl in just three or four days.
Curiously, Christina had no idea that she was dating a promising footballer, whose name had already acquired hundreds of fans. The girl is far from the world of sports. Her own father "opened his eyes" - when she brought her beloved to meet her parents. The news was unexpected, because the provincial student had a bias towards athletes. Christina believed that football players are not distinguished by intelligence and are famous for arrogance. Artyom had to dispel the myth, and he did it.
After a month of meetings, the couple went to the registry office. Most of the media claim that young people got married, but in an interview published on the Web in the fall of 2013, the attacker says:
“Now I am building a house in the Moscow region, a family hearth. Christina and I, my Nikita's mother, have not yet been scheduled. In two years we will have a wedding somewhere on the islands. To make everything beautiful. We will call relatives, the son will grow up, he will have fun with us. "
The firstborn in the family was born in April 2013, Dziuba was present at the birth. Artem shared his delight on his Instagram page. He said that now he is a truly happy person.
Christina and Artem Dzyuba Two years later, the athlete and his wife became heroes of the main press news. Clouds thickened over his personal life. In the spring of 2015, the paparazzi caught Artyom cheating, the photos taken immediately hit the Web, causing a scandal.
Dziuba, rented at that time by Rostov, went to the qualifying tournament of the European Championship, which was held in Montenegro. But before leaving, he decided to say goodbye to his mistress, who turned out to be a famous TV presenter.
The couple came under the sights of cameras right in the car of the TV star. The athlete and the blonde, who was also married, hugged and kissed for almost an hour. Later, Maria's husband filed for divorce, but Artem managed to "forgive his sins." Christina decided to keep the family. In the same year, the girl supported her husband at a match in Rostov.
Soon the family moved from Moscow to St. Petersburg, and on February 26, 2016, the footballer had a second son, who was named Maxim.
Christina and Artem Dzyuba Artem does not like to remember the betrayal, but nevertheless answers journalists to questions that repent of this topic. He admits that he was very worried in life only twice: before participating in the program “What? Where? When?" (the players appeared on the program on the initiative of the coach of the Russian national team) and at a time when rumors of an affair with Orzul reached his wife. He laments that he made a mistake, and with a shudder imagines how this story could have ended:
"I realized that I could have lost the most important thing in life."
According to the parents, the sons are also growing up as athletes. Senior Nikita "from the cradle" in the football section, and the younger Maxim is fond of hockey.
Christina Dziuba now
Christina Dziuba rarely appears in the media. The girl's name once again appeared on the Internet in early 2018. Then the question was which club the spouse would join. Artyom was called to the main squad of FC Ufa - a bright opportunity, football critics say. However, Christina rejected this option, explaining that Bashkiria is too far from St. Petersburg and Moscow. As a result, Dziuba ended up in Tula Arsenal, which is much closer.
In social networks, a dispute broke out between fans about the influence of wives on the fate of football players. In an interview, Sergei Gerasimets, a former Zenit player, hastened to defend Artyom. He stated that it is okay to suggest a direction for a husband's career:
"A footballer should play where it is more comfortable for him and his family."
Artem Dziuba is a Russian footballer, striker of Zenit St. Petersburg and the Russian national team.
Artem Sergeevich Dzyuba, the future forward of the Russian national football team, was born in Moscow. Artyom's family was not associated with sports. Sergey Vladimirovich, Artem's dad, is Ukrainian by nationality, from the Poltava region. In Moscow, the man served in law enforcement agencies. Svetlana Alexandrovna, mother of the future football player, comes from Chuvashia. The woman worked as a salesman in a grocery store in the capital, then got a promotion and took the place of deputy director. Artyom's parents met in Moscow and after getting married, they first lived in a communal apartment. Later they bought an apartment. The family had two children: in August 1988, a son, Artem, and in 1992, a daughter, Olga.
Dziuba's club career
Artem became interested in sports very early. At the age of 8, the boy was taken to the Spartak Academy. The promising teenager was selected and recommended by Alexander Yartsev. This is how the sports biography of Artem Dziuba began.
In 2005, Dziuba was transferred to the adult team. On the recommendation of Yevgeny Sidorov, Artem plays in the backup squad of Spartak. The successful game of the young footballer was noted and was soon transferred to the main team.
In 2006, the athlete's debut game took place. The footballer appeared at the Russian Cup match. The rival was the Yekaterinburg "Ural". Further, the footballer noted in the Russian championship, when he played in the game within the 12th round. Then the rival of "Spartak" was the Ramensk "Saturn". Then there was a game for the Russian Cup with Ural.
In 2007, Artem Dziuba joined the main team of Spartak. In 27 matches, the forward managed to score 6 goals, as a result, recognized as the top scorer of the season.
In 2009, there was a scandal in the career of a football player. Player Vladimir Bystrov lost a large sum of money during a competition in Austria. The funds were found at Dziuba's. Artyom said that he had become a victim of a scam, and he himself was framed. As a result of the incident, the athlete was transferred to the Tom team. Here Artem Dziuba quickly gained authority. In 2010, the footballer becomes the main forward of this team. In the 2010 season, the Russian striker managed to score 10 goals. At the end of this season, the athlete returned to Spartak.
The next two seasons were successful for the player. Artem scored one of 3 goals in the game against Swiss Basel. Then the Russian team beat the Swiss with a score of 3: 2.
In May 2012, Artem Dzyuba appeared on the field with a captain's armband. It happened in the away match between Spartak and Zenit. Dziuba's team won the match 3: 2. In the same month, the team got into the Champions League.
Artyom Dziuba experienced some recession in the results of the game in 2012. The footballer lost his place in the starting lineup of the team to Emmanuel Emenike. In November of the same year, Valery Karpin again became the head coach, under which Artem was prepared for the role of a reserve player. Therefore, the footballer went on loan to the Rostov football club. Here in May 2013 Dziuba scored 2 goals in the match against Terek, thanks to which the team won. In July of the same year, the footballer scored a hat-trick against Tomyu and became the top scorer of the championship. As part of Rostov, Artem Dzyuba won the first trophy - the Cup of Russia.
And again, return to Spartak. In the very first match of the championship, the athlete managed to distinguish himself and score 2 goals in the game against Rubin. 2 more goals from Dziuba - in the game with Dynamo.
In the fall of 2014, Dziuba refused to continue the old contract with Spartak and rejected the proposed new one. At this time, the forward received an offer to play for Zenit St. Petersburg. The amount of the new contract was € 3.3 million. Dziuba joined the team in July 2015. In the same month, the footballer successfully made his debut, scoring a penalty in the game against Dynamo.
In August 2014, in the match against Terek, Dziuba suffered a broken nose in a collision with the Brazilian Varken Adilson, therefore, after recovering, he entered the field wearing a special mask.
In September 2015, recovering from an injury, Artem Dziuba scored a goal for Spartak with Zenit, equalizing the score 2: 2. But the striker did not celebrate this victory out of respect for his native, albeit former club.
In Zenit, the footballer received number 22.
National team career
In 2009 he was called up to the youth team of Russia. In total, he spent 9 matches for her and scored 4 goals.
In 2011, he received a call to the created second Russian national team. In November of the same year, he was called up to the main Russian national team for a friendly match with Greece, where he made his debut in the national team, having spent the first half.
Dziuba was a candidate for participation in the 2012 European Championship, but was not included in the application due to the need to have a balance in positions, and also due to the fact that he did not fit into the tactical system of Advocaat.
On November 14, 2012, he played the second match for the national team against the US national team, where he managed to earn a penalty, realized by Roman Shirokov.
In the qualifying tournament for the 2014 World Cup, he entered the field for the only time - in August 2013 - against Northern Ireland. For the September 2013 matches, Fabio Capello did not include him in the national team. On May 12, 2014, he was included in the extended list of candidates for a trip to Brazil for the World Cup, but on May 16, he was transferred to the reserve.
After a successful start of the 2014/15 club season for Spartak (6 goals in 5 matches), Dziuba was recalled to the national team, and on September 8, 2014, in the qualifying match of the 2016 European Championship against Liechtenstein, he scored his first goal for the national team. On October 12, in a qualifying match against the national team of Moldova, Artyom earned a penalty and converted it himself.
The next goal for the national team was scored almost a year later - on September 5, 2015 at the 38th minute of the home match against the goal, which brought the Russian team a victory (1: 0). Three days later he scored 4 goals in an away match against Liechtenstein (7: 0) and earned a penalty, bringing his number of goals in the qualifying tournament to 7. Dziuba became the second player in the history of the USSR / Russia national team who managed to score more than three goals in one game ... The first was Oleg Salenko, who scored five goals against Cameroon on June 28, 1994 at the World Cup in the United States. In the match against Moldova on October 9, 2015, Dziuba scored his 8th goal in the qualifying tournament and updated the record of the Russian national team for the number of goals in one qualifying cycle.
Athlete achievements
During his career, Artyom became a two-time winner of the Russian Cup and the Russian Super Cup. In addition to team awards, Dziuba has many personal achievements. He is included in the list of the top 100 scorers and has been recognized as the best player in the championship many times.
There were unpleasant moments in Artyom's career. Artyom Dzyuba, whose biography is difficult, still managed to become the main player of Zenit and the Russian national team. Given the strong interest in Dziuba, it is possible that in the future this goal-scoring striker will leave to play in a stronger football league. But so far he is one of the most popular football players in the RFL, as well as his national team.
Personal life of Artem Dziuba
Artyom is married, the name of his wife is Christina. The footballer met his future wife, a 4th year student in Nizhny Novgorod in 2012. After a month of dating, the couple signed. In 2013, Artyom and Christina had a son, whom their parents named Nikita.
Not without scandals on the love front. Before leaving for the qualifying match, Dziuba was captured in the company of the famous TV presenter Maria Orzul. Wife Christina forgave this incident, but Maria and her husband divorced.
Artem Dzyuba has become especially famous lately. First, everyone was impressed by his departure to Zenit. After all, since 2006, he played for Spartak Moscow, and stayed with this club until 2015. True, from time to time he was rented - either Tom or Rostov, but he became known all the same as a Spartak player. And then suddenly he was bought by Zenit.
As for the championships, Artem Dziuba shows himself very well at the international level, despite the fact that he did not participate in the World Championship, because he was not included in the application. The only thing, he entered the field in the match, which took place in the qualifying round.
In general, one very entertaining moment is associated with his performances for the national team, which all football fans have been talking about lately. In a pre-match interview, which one journalist conducted with the brightest stars of the Swedish national team, a question was asked to Zlatan Ibrahimovic: what does he think of Dziuba? To which he immediately asked who he was. In principle, nothing special, just Zlatan does not know the names of each of the players of the Russian national team. However, the whole point is that on the same day in the match with Sweden it was Artem Dziuba who scored a goal.
Then, three days later, the striker scored four goals in an away game against Liechtenstein (then the match ended with a score of 7: 0). This brought not only the victory of Russia, but also the glory of the footballer himself. Artem Dzyuba then became the second player in the history of the Russian national team who managed to issue more than three goals in one match. After such successes, by the way, the head of the Russian national team has no doubts that the current Zenit player is worth including him in the upcoming World Championship, which, among other things, will also be held in our country.
