For the first time in Lokomotiv, they reacted negatively to the participation of striker Artem Dziuba in the YouTube show «Nu , you can not do it this way». The head coach of the team, Mikhail Galaktionov, asked the football player to swear less.
The program that Dziuba leads with coach Leonid Slutsky was criticized immediately after the first release, but until recently the club did not react to the behavior of the football player. Sports recalls the scandals that Dzyuba used to get into — of course, because of the words of a football player scattered over the Web.
“Coach” is a conflict with Emery
In November 2012, Spartak under the leadership of Unai Emery devastatingly lost to Dynamo, in the first half the Red-Whites conceded three goals. After the break, the situation has not changed, in total for the match the team scored five goals. Dzyuba scored twice that evening: first, when he scored the only goal of Spartak in stoppage time, and then when he passed through the mixed zone. Artem declined to comment, but did it in such a way that the phrase is remembered even ten years later. br>
Later, the player apologized and said he was ready to take any punishment. But this did not help, and later Dzyuba himself became a «playboy» for both fans and teammates.
«Axe of War» — a ten-year confrontation with Karpin
That match was the last for Emery in «Spartak». Instead of the Spaniard, Valery Karpin began to coach the team. The conflict they keep being asked about was already flaring up then. The football player later even stated that the problems of Spartak began with the departure of Emery.
«
“With Karpin, there was a certain discrimination in the team, one could do everything, the other nothing. I did not speak, but if they asked me, I answered. Most of the Russian guys supported me, which Karpin did not like. In general, he removed a lot of guys who had their own opinion, «he said later.
Karpin, on the other hand, explained that there was no place for the attacker in the 4-3-3 scheme, so Dzyuba continued to go on loan. And while Artem was in Rostov, the coach was fired from the team, but Dziuba himself remained in Spartak not much longer. Already after Dziuba moved to St. Petersburg, another aggravation occurred. According to journalist Sergei Yegorov, the player and coach accidentally collided in a Moscow hotel, which almost led to a fight. asked Karpin, as I was told. "What? — Dzyuba was indignant. — Now I’ll fix your panama,” the journalist said.
When Karpin led the national team in 2021, he met with Dzyuba, they talked and both said they «buried the hatchet», but he still has not played for the national team.
«Sectarians» — an appeal to the fans of the former team
After moving to Zenit, he continued to quarrel. Both Spartak fans, who considered him a traitor, and Zenit fans, who did not accept the newcomer, clashed with the footballer. br>
And Dzyuba was not shy in expressions and called the fans of the «red-white» sectarians.
«
“Many adequate fans of Spartak missed the title and deserved for so many years that their team became the champion. But there is a certain group of sectarians. I would not want them to become champions, because they behave not quite like a man,” Dziuba told Sport Express in April 2017.For Dzyuba, 2017 was a fruitful year for events. The Confederations Cup was held in Russia, and the head coach of the Russian national team Stanislav Cherchesov did not call him to the tournament. Alexander Kokorin also did not go to the team. After the departure of the Russians, a video appeared on social networks in which the attackers put their hands to their mouths, depicting the coach's mustache. And a little later, Zenit was headed by another coach with whom Dziuba did not have a relationship — Roberto Mancini.Dziuba lost his place at the base and began to conflict with the coach, in numerous interviews after the Italian left the team, Artem continued to express his dissatisfaction, stating that he did not consider Mancini a coach. And even the victory at Euro 2020 at the head of the Italian national team did not change Dziuba's opinion. The striker's hatred towards Mancini was even stronger than towards Karpin.
«
«Valery Georgievich is a darling compared to Mancini. Karpin at least spoke everything to his face. There were episodes when he would say in the face is rude, not true, not in fact, but as he thinks,» he told Sport24 in 2018.The confrontation with Mancini led to the fact that Dzyubu went on loan to the Tula Arsenal, but even here everything was not at all peaceful. Because of the desire to leave Zenit, Artem had a fight with Vyacheslav Malafeev, who was the deputy sports director. According to Dziuba, the ex-goalkeeper prevented him from going on loan. Malafeev himself, on the contrary, stated that Artyom was offered several options for continuing his career, including abroad.Correspondence confrontation of former teammates continues to this day. In March of this year, Dziuba said that Malafeev prevented midfielder Arsen Zakharyan from moving to Zenit. The ex-goalkeeper, in turn, suggested that the striker turn to a psychiatrist, since at the time when Zakharyan was being tested at the club, he had not yet completed his playing career.
>At home among strangers — conflicts after Zenit
In 2022, Dziuba left Zenit and tried to start a career in Turkey, then returned to Russia and now came into conflict with Petersburgers. In an interview with Nobel Arustamyan, the player said that he left the St. Petersburg club, among other things, because of the approach to the formation of a squad predominantly of foreign players. According to the player, the team is turning into Zenit Rio de Janeiro due to the abundance of Brazilian football players.
He also complained to the head coach Sergei Semak. In particular, he said that players were removed from the squad «not for football reasons.» He stressed several times that he was not offended by the coach and he had no complaints against him. But after the first match with the former team, the striker did not shake hands with the former coach.
