Dzyuba said that he considers himself a people's football player

Famous striker Artyom Dzyuba answered the question of whether he can be called a people's football player. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

In his opinion, this question can be answered partially positively. Dzyuba mentioned that approximately 30 percent of people do not like him, while 70 percent have a warm attitude towards him.

He emphasized that this situation might be related to the 2018 World Cup. In that tournament, the Russian national team reached the quarter-finals, and Dzyuba was the leader of the team.

He delivered motivational speeches to his compatriots before the matches. Dzyuba also noted that children have a good attitude towards him and that he tries to spend a lot of time with them.
