Artem Dzyuba created a new scandal out of the blue. This time, the Lokomotiv forward did not shake hands with Sergei Semak after the game with Zenit, although until recently he denied a conflict with the coach. fairy tales were waiting. But there was no remake of the match with Arsenal from Tula, and St. Petersburg took another step towards a confident championship.

After the final whistle, when the teams took to the field in full force and thanked the audience, Semak called out to Artem. The striker, who was passing ten meters from him, turned his head, saw the coach and went further towards the locker room. Sergei waved and went back to his wards.
The episode immediately moved to Dzyuba's recent interview with Nobel Arustamyan. There, Artem clearly said that he and Semak did not communicate, but there were no offenses either. So what prevented Dziuba from showing respect by responding to the former coach in return?
«
"It is absolutely his wish. I would not mind if he scored three, and we would win 4:3. I have a good attitude towards everyone, and everyone has their own attitude towards me, «Semak commented on the episode.
Sergei Bogdanovich reacted as correctly as possible and even wished Dzyuba goals in the match, provided that Zenit won. The striker himself in the mixed zone said that he simply did not notice the coach. Is it worth it to believe? Big doubts. The video shows how the player turned his head towards Semak, almost certainly noticed him, but continued to the locker room. So why was it once again to give a reason? With his behavior, Dzyuba divides everyone around into two camps: his friends and his enemies. The third does not seem to be given. This behavior leads to a response from those who fell out of favor with the footballer. Therefore, after the victory over Lokomotiv, Malk and Claudinho could not miss the chance to prick the striker.

“This is Rio de Janeiro, this is Sao Paulo,” the Brazilians shouted after the victory, referring to Dzyuba’s scandalous quote.
After the match, Artem appeared in the mixed zone, but answered only one question, after which he hastily departed. Of course, the media had many questions, but they all remained unanswered. As a result, Dzyube responded to those he wanted to by posting videos on social networks. The striker apologized for the game and explained why he did not answer questions from the press.

"I don't want to talk to reporters because I'm tired of all this. When you win — you are the king, you are praised. And when you lose, you are — dead. I'm tired of this,» — said Artem.
Only no one called Dzyuba dead, and the journalists had no complaints against him personally. Artyom once again came up with enemies for himself, with whom for some reason he began to fight. Even if he limited himself to a couple of on-duty phrases, he could calmly divert all questions from himself. But Dziuba again needs to surround himself with ill-wishers for a heroic reprisal against them in the future.
It's amazing how Artem flourishes after victories and tries to alienate everyone from himself after failures. Dzyuba has not yet learned to lose, and a painful reaction to negativity has led to a narrowing of the circle of friends and ordinary people who treat him well. Small changes in behavior could drastically improve the situation, but Artyom himself, apparently, is not ready for such a step.
