Artem Dzyuba, the famous striker of Lokomotiv Moscow, again found himself in the spotlight. But this time the reason was not his performance on the field, but a new scandal that occurred after one of the last matches.
The Control and Disciplinary Committee of the Russian Football Union decided to punish Dzyuba with a two-match disqualification, but conditionally. In addition, the football player was fined 50 thousand rubles. Its head, Arthur Grigoryants, spoke about this decision of the committee. At the same time, he emphasized that the football player can only appeal the amount of the fine.
Why did the scandal arise?
It all started after the match between Lokomotiv and Krylia Sovetov Samara, which ended with a score of 1:1. Dziuba did not play then due to injury. After the game, journalist Vitaly Borodin asked Dzyuba’s opinion regarding the statement of Krylia Sovetov head coach Igor Shalimov. Shalimov said that Artem would not be able to score more than two goals during the autumn period of the championship.
Dziuba’s reaction to this question was far from the standard diplomatic answer. His harsh comment sparked concern and debate among the football community. All this led to the fact that the Control and Disciplinary Committee of the RFU decided to intervene in the situation.
However, in response to a wave of discussions, Vitaly Borodin emphasized that he did not take Dzyuba’s words as a personal insult, suggesting that the footballer’s emotions could have overwhelmed him after a difficult match.
The management of Lokomotiv also had their say in this story. They decided not to take disciplinary action against their player. Chairman of the board of directors of the club, Yuri Nagornykh, emphasized that the management fully trusts their striker and believes in his professionalism on and off the field.

It is worth recalling that Dzyuba not so long ago, on February 8, became a Lokomotiv player. Last season he played 13 matches, scoring 8 goals and making 5 assists. So far in the new season, the footballer has managed to take part in four games and score one goal.
Despite all the noise surrounding this incident, fans hope that Dzyuba will continue to impress with his skills and will soon return to the field to help his team achieve new victories.
