MOSCOW, Aug 23, Andrey Vasilchin.Artem Dzyuba made his debut for the Turkish «Adana Demirspor». In the first match for the new team on his birthday, the Russian striker scored a goal, but this did not help Adana: in the 3rd round of the Turkish Super League, Demirspor lost on the road to Fenerbahce (2:4). The wards of Vincenzo Montella had a chance to win back with a score of 2:3, but in the 82nd minute his team remained in the minority — Ukrainian Yaroslav Rakytsky received a direct red card. After he left the field, Fenerbahce scored the fourth goal and decided the outcome of the meeting. Dziuba spent 87 minutes on the field and delivered two shots, one of which turned out to be an assist. Turkish fans of «Adana» assessed the debut of the 34-year-old Russian inconsistently. So, before the goal of the Russian striker, Demirspor fans criticized Dzyuba and considered Montella's decision to let him on the field in the starting lineup a few days after the signing of the contract was premature and erroneous.
- —“Dziuba is useless so far,” a user with the nickname @sefa_ydn wrote on Twitter.
- —»Dzyuba looks too heavy for now,» says @zekigocerads01.
- —»Dziuba isn't even a corpse. He's a mummy. We have there are 10 people on the field in the team,» @bikeredeyanil brightly spoke.
- —»This Dziuba seemed to come to the match with vodka,» @hkiyici wrote no less original.
- “Even before the match, I said that I didn’t expect anything interesting from Dziuba. There was no point in throwing such a clumsy player into battle immediately after he moved to the club,” @yorumchao emphasized.
- —»Montella is a coach that I really like, but his decision to release Dziuba, who came to the club four days ago, turned out to be controversial in the starting lineup,» @scorermidfield echoes him.
- —»This dude runs around like he's drunk,» wrote @Ft_sokar1.
- —»Dziuba works a lot mostly in home matches when there is dominance over opponent. In today's game, he is useless,» @iismailEmlek added.
- —»In the first half, Adana played as if without three players. Dzyuba, Akintola and Samet need to be changed , otherwise we will be eight against 11 Fenerbahce players and one referee,» said @_Delimavi63_.
- —»Dziuba needs at least four weeks b to get in shape. Mario Balotelli was supposed to play today,» added Fenerbahce fan @fermath6.
