Commentator Dmitriy Shnakin emphasized that, in his opinion, it is very appropriate to compare Tolyatti's "Akron" team striker Artyom Dzyuba with former "Milan" footballer Zlatan Ibragimovich. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Shnakin particularly focused on the comparison related to Zlatan's last season at the Italian club. According to him, Dzyuba, like Ibragimovich at Milan over the past one and a half years, does not overexert himself but provides the necessary support to the team.
Shnakin expressed this opinion on the "Premyer-liga nohaqligi" podcast. In the 2025/2026 season, Dzyuba played in seven matches in the Russian Premier League, scoring three goals and assisting two.
He did not appear in the Russian Cup matches. Earlier, Dzyuba had criticized the "Akron" management for being insufficiently active in the transfer market.
After that, the player was not registered for the cup game, but the club management stated that there were no issues related to his interview.
