At the Arsenal

Forward of the St. Petersburg "Zenith" and a candidate for the Russian national team to participate in the home world championship - 2018 Artem Dzyuba officially moved to Arsenal. The Tula club announced the signing of a lease agreement with the striker until the end of the season. Artem will play for the Gunners under the 24th number.

Rumors about the arrival of Dziuba to this team circulated throughout almost the entire January. It was clear that there was no place for a football player in the blue-white-blue team, and therefore both the club and he himself were looking for a new job for him.

When Roberto headed Zenit before the 2017/18 season, he said that the tandem of attackers Kokorin - Dziuba should score 35 goals in a season.

Then it seemed ridiculous because of Alexander, who in previous years did not shine with performance, but frankly turned sour on the flank, while Dziuba was the leader of the attacks, scoring 28 goals in 56 meetings in two seasons in the championship.

At the same time, under Mancini, Kokorin was returned to the forefront of the attack, where things immediately went uphill for him, which hit his partner.

Dzyuba started the field in the first two matches of the Premier League of the season, but failed to excel in them, went to the reserve and settled there, coming on as a substitute in almost every match, but often in the last ten minutes.

Zenit started the season very powerfully, but in the fall Mancini tried to re-integrate Dziuba into the squad. The shift to the flank again reduced Kokorin's performance, and Artem himself was able to score only twice in the first part of the season - against the Macedonian "Vardar" in the Europa League and in RFPL match with Tosno.

His team won both meetings with a score of 5:0, which reduced the value of the striker's effective actions.

In winter, it became clear that Mancini no longer counted on the player when he was not taken to the first team training camp, announcing that Artem had health problems and was in a FIFA-authorized clinic.

The football player himself denied this by posting his workouts on Instagram, while writing that he was “one hundred percent ready.”

Substantial interest in Dziuba was shown by at least two teams elite division Russian football, however, according to rumors, the football player's wife did not want to go to Ufa.

The option with the Tula Arsenal turned out to be beneficial in all respects. The Gunners are doing well this season, sitting in ninth place. standings under the leadership of Miodrag Bozovic.

It was with this specialist that Dziuba spent his best season in his career at Rostov in the 2013/14 season, when he scored 17 goals in the Premier League and won the National Cup - his only trophy in his career.

Together with Dzyuba, the Zenit defender also moves to Arsenal, who has never appeared on the field this season and also did not get into the blue-white-blue players who went to the training camp in the UAE. He also joined the Tula team on loan.

Smolov with a hammer

On January 31, the fate of the Krasnodar forward and the Russian national team Fedor should be decided. Premier League top scorer of two recent seasons, heading the list of goalscorers now, is determined to leave the current club.

Smolov was of interest to Zenit this winter, but Fedor turned down the opportunity to move to the northern capital, determined to try his hand abroad.

The most likely option for the striker to continue his career is the London " West Ham". The player himself has already agreed to move to the camp of the "Hammers", but so far the clubs cannot agree among themselves.

West Ham wants to take Smolov on loan with an option to buy, while Krasnodar insists on making a transfer right now.

Smolov was reportedly offered £15 million on January 31 by another club in the Premier League, Swansea, but the player himself did not want to move to the camp of an outsider of the English championship, even though the Welsh have gained momentum lately, without losing five matches already and consistently defeating Liverpool and London's Arsenal.

ready to buy

Moscow "Spartak" continues to work on strengthening the composition, agreeing on the details of a personal contract with the midfielder of the Belgian "Anderlecht" and the Algerian national team Sofyan Hanni.

The footballer, who scored against Rostov and Bayern Munich in European competition, at the last moment requested improvements in the terms of his personal contract from the red-and-whites, but at the same time rejected the offer from China.

At the same time, the Spartacists themselves withstand pressure from the English clubs. It seems that Quincy Promes and will remain in the team for the second part of the season, for which Southampton and Newcastle offer 30 and 20 million pounds, respectively.

The reluctance to let the players go is due to the inability to find an adequate replacement for them now and the team's struggle in the second part of the season on three fronts - the Russian Championship, the Europa League and the Cup of the country.

The wife of the Zenit striker is not a public person. Kristina Dziuba does not give interviews, her name appears only next to the name of the star husband, and even then rarely. Acquaintance with a football player is reminiscent of the plot of a movie novel, where two men are fighting for the heart of a lady. The girl gave the famous Russian athlete two heirs and managed to find the strength to forgive loud betrayal.

Childhood and youth

The early biography of the girl is a secret with seven seals. The press only knows that Christina was born and raised in Nizhny Novgorod. According to some media reports, the maiden name of the footballer's wife is Orlova.

After school, Christina entered one of the universities in her native city, where she completed her fourth year. Then, with the support of her fiancé-athlete, she transferred to the capital's university.

Personal life

Christina met her future husband on New Year's Eve 2012. Then the girl accepted courtship from another football player, Ivan Komissarov, who grew up under the tutelage of Spartak coaches. The intrigue was that the athlete is a close friend of Dziuba. However, this did not stop Artem, who fell in love at first sight.

At the invitation of the players, Christina and her friends went to meet New Year to the capital of Russia. The party was held in a rented cottage near Moscow. Dzyuba managed to win the heart of the Nizhny Novgorod fragile beauty. He says he won the girl in just three or four days.

It is curious that Christina had no idea that she was dating a budding football player whose name had already acquired hundreds of fans. The girl is far from the world of sports. His own father “opened his eyes” - when she brought her lover to meet her parents. The news was unexpected, because the provincial student had a biased attitude towards athletes. Christina believed that the players are not smart and are famous for their arrogance. Artem had to dispel the myth, and he succeeded.

After a month of meetings, the couple went to the registry office. Most of the media claim that young people got married, but in an interview published on the Web in the fall of 2013, the attacker says:

“Now I’m building a house in the Moscow region, a family hearth. Me and Kristina, my Nikita's mother, have not been booked yet. In two years we will play a wedding somewhere on the islands. For everything to be beautiful. We will call relatives, the son will grow up, he will have fun with us.

The first-born in the family was born in April 2013, Dzyuba was present at the birth. Artem shared his delight on his Instagram page. He said that now he is a truly happy person.

Christina and Artem Dzyuba

Two years later, the athlete and his wife became the heroes of the main press news. Clouds have gathered over my personal life. In the spring of 2015, the paparazzi caught Artem cheating, the photos taken immediately got on the Web, causing a scandal.

Dzyuba, rented at that time by Rostov, went to the qualifying tournament for the European Championship, which was held in Montenegro. But before the flight, he decided to say goodbye to his mistress, who turned out to be a famous TV presenter.

The couple fell under the sights of cameras right in the TV star's car. The athlete and the blonde, who was also married, hugged and kissed for almost an hour. Later, Maria's husband filed for divorce, but Artyom managed to "atone for sins." Christina decided to save the family. In the same year, the girl supported her husband at a match in Rostov.

Soon the family moved from Moscow to St. Petersburg, and on February 26, 2016, the second son was born to the football player, who was named Maxim.

Christina and Artem Dzyuba

Artem does not like to remember the betrayal, but still answers journalists questions about this topic. He admits that he was very worried in his life only twice: before participating in the program “What? Where? When?" (football players appeared on the program at the initiative of the mentor of the Russian national team) and at the time when rumors of an affair with Orzul reached his wife. He laments that he made a mistake, and with a shudder imagines how this story could have ended:

“I realized that I could lose the most important thing in life.”

According to the parents, the sons also grow up as athletes. The elder Nikita "from the cradle" in the football section, and the younger Maxim is fond of hockey.

Christina Dziuba now

Christina Dziuba rarely appears in the media. The girl's name once again appeared on the Internet in early 2018. Then there was the question of which club the spouse would join. Artem was called to the main team of FC Ufa - a bright opportunity, according to football critics. However, Christina rejected this option, explaining that Bashkiria is too far from St. Petersburg and Moscow. As a result, Dzyuba ended up in the Tula Arsenal, which is much closer.

In social networks, a dispute broke out between fans on the topic of the influence of wives on the fate of football players. In an interview with Sergei Gerasimets, former player"Zenith", hastened to protect Artem. He stated that suggesting a direction for a husband’s career is normal:

"A footballer should play where he and his family are more comfortable."

Artyom Sergeevich Dzyuba. Born on August 22, 1988 in Moscow. Russian footballer, striker of the St. Petersburg "Zenith" and the Russian national team. Master of Sports of Russia (2015).

Father - Sergei Vladimirovich Dzyuba, a native of the city of Lubny (Poltava region, Ukraine), worked as a policeman.

Mother - Svetlana Alexandrovna, a native of Tsivilsk (Chuvashia), worked as a saleswoman in a grocery store in Moscow, near the Shchelkovskaya metro station, and later became a deputy director in it. Artyom's parents met in the same store.

The family - typical Moscow limiters - did not live well: they saved up money for an apartment. At first they lived in a communal apartment in Potapovsky Lane. Then we bought an apartment in the Novokosino area.

Artyom has a younger sister, Olga (born in 1992).

From the age of 8, Artyom studied at the Spartak Academy, where he was invited after watching Alexander Yartsev (son of Georgy Yartsev).

In 2005, he moved to the adult team of Spartak and began to play for the backup team on the recommendation of Evgeny Sidorov.

With his success in the doubles, Artyom earned the right to train with the main team.

He made his debut for Spartak in 2006 in the Russian Cup match against Ural Yekaterinburg. In the championship of Russia, the debut took place in a match with the Ramensky "Saturn".

For the first time in the main part of the "red-white" Dziuba appeared in the return match of the Russian Cup against Ural.

In the 2006 season, he played 8 matches for the main team, without scoring goals.

In 2007, he began to play steadily in the first team - he played 27 matches in all tournaments and scored 5 goals.

He took part in the 2007 European Youth Championship and scored 2 goals in his debut match against the German national team.

In 2008, the season began with a spare. He played 16 games in the championship, but did not play one of them completely. On August 23, he scored his only goal in the championship against Dynamo Moscow. In the only cup match of this year, held on August 6 against Dynamo Bryansk, he scored two goals and thereby led Spartak to the 1/8 finals. In the final match of the UEFA Cup group stage against Tottenham, he also scored two goals, but the British managed to level the score, and Spartak could not continue the fight for the trophy.

In 2009 there was a loud scandal with the theft of money. His teammate Vladimir Bystrov had 23,000 rubles stolen from his room at a training camp in Austria. Myself Vladimir Bystrov found the stolen money in the pocket of Artyom Dziuba.

As Artyom explained, he was set up. And he called Bystrov "product number 23."

In the conflict, Spartak sided with Bystrov and Dziuba had to leave the club - he was leased to Tomsk. And the second round of the 2009 season he played for Tom.

As the football player said, "... they just removed me impudently. I had nothing to do - they just put me before a fact. They didn’t let me train for a month. It was obvious that I had to go somewhere. I chose Tom".

He returned to Spartak at the end of the 2010 season.

In the 2012/2013 season, Spartak got new coach- Spaniard Unai Emery. And Dzyuba stopped getting into the starting lineup of the team, giving way to Emmanuel Emenika.

November 25, 2012 after major defeat from Dynamo (1:5) Dzyuba called the head coach Emery "coach". On the same day, the Spaniard was fired, and Valery Karpin again took the place of the head coach of the team. Under him, the footballer was able to return to the starting lineup of the club, although he did not improve his performance as a forward.

July 1, 2013 on loan moved to football club Rostov. July 15, 2013 in his debut match for new club scored two goals against Terek and helped his team to win. At the end of the season with 17 goals, he became the second scorer of the Russian championship, losing the lead only to the Ivorian striker of CSKA Seyd Doumbia. With Rostov, Dzyuba won his first trophy - the Russian Cup.

After a successful season at Rostov, in 2014 he returned to Spartak again and scored two goals against Rubin in the first match of the championship. In the second round in the derby against Dynamo, Artyom again scored two goals and helped his team win a strong-willed victory. On August 23, in the away match of the fifth round with Ufa, Artyom made the third double in four matches, as a result, Spartak won with a score of 1: 2.

However, after a bright start, Dzyuba's performance subsided and he managed to score the next goal only in November, as part of the fourteenth round, hitting the Mordovia gate.

In October 2014, information appeared in the media that Dzyuba had rejected Spartak's offer to extend the contract, which expires in June 2015. In November, the president of Spartak, Leonid Fedun, said that Artyom had already rejected three offers for a new contract, and that there would be no new offers.

All goals of Artyom Dzyuba for Spartak

“I think that they treated me ugly at Spartak. They didn’t even shake hands anymore. All the shareholders, except Fedun, went through, greeted everyone except me. Here we weren’t even talking about simple respect. The contract was ending. - human approach and talk, looking into the eyes", - the athlete told about his second conflict in Spartak.

At the end of January 2015, information appeared that a 5-year contract with a salary of 3.3 million euros per year was offered to the forward by Zenit.

On July 19, 2015, he made his debut for Zenit in a match against Dynamo Moscow. In this fight, he earned a penalty, which Hulk converted. A week later, in a match against Ural, Dzyuba scored his first goal for Zenit. On August 1, in a duel against Terek Grozny, Artyom suffered a broken nose in a collision with Adilson.

Playing for Zenit in the Champions League 2015/16, he set a record for the number of goals scored by Russians in one season - 6 goals in the group stage of the tournament.

At the beginning of 2017, he was chosen as the vice-captain of the team. On November 19, 2017, he played in a match with Tosno, having played his 100th match as part of the St. Petersburg team. Later he was withdrawn from the team and did not participate in its first training camp in January 2018. At the end of the season, he took part in 24 matches and scored two goals.

Artyom Dzyuba in the Russian team:

In 2009, he was called up to the Russian youth team. In total, he played 9 matches for her and scored 4 goals.

In 2011, he received a call to the created second Russian team. In November of the same year, he was called up to the main Russian national team for a friendly match with Greece, where he made his debut in the national team by playing the first half.

He was a candidate for participation in the European Championship 2012, but did not get into the application because of the need to have a balance in positions, also because he did not fit into the tactical system of Dick Advocaat.

On November 14, 2012, he played the second match for the national team against the US team, where he managed to earn a penalty kick, converted by Roman Shirokov.

AT qualifying tournament The 2014 World Cup entered the field for the only time - in August 2013 against Northern Ireland. For the September 2013 matches, Fabio Capello did not include him in the national team.

He was included in the extended list of candidates for a trip to Brazil for the World Cup, but then transferred to the reserve.

After a successful start of the 2014/15 club season for Spartak (6 goals in 5 matches), he was again called up to the national team.

On September 8, 2014, in the 2016 European Championship qualifying match against Liechtenstein, he scored his first goal for the national team.

On October 12, in the qualifying match against the national team of Moldova, Artyom earned a penalty and converted it himself.

The next goal for the national team was scored almost a year later - on September 5, 2015 at the 38th minute home match against the Swedish national team, which brought the Russian team a victory (1: 0) over the main competitor for entering the final part Euro 2016.

Artyoma Dzyuba's goal against Sweden

Three days later, Dzyuba scored 4 goals in the away match against Liechtenstein (7:0) and earned a penalty, bringing his number of goals in the qualifying tournament to 7.

Dziuba became the second player in the history of the USSR / Russia national team who managed to score more than three goals in one game. The first was Oleg Salenko, who scored five goals against the Cameroon national team on June 28, 1994 at the World Cup in the United States.

On October 9, 2015, in a match against the Moldovan national team, Dzyuba scored his 8th goal in the qualifying tournament and updated the Russian national team record for the number of goals in one qualifying round.

He was included in the Russian national team for the European Championship in France in 2016. Took part in all matches of the national team on group stage, but the team did not reach the playoffs of the tournament.

At the 2018 World Cup June 14 in the opening match, in which Russia played with the national team Saudi Arabia, entered the field in the 70th minute, replacing Fedor Smolov, and scored a goal a minute later. In the 1/8 finals he became the author important ball against the Spanish national team, which allowed the national team to bring the match to a penalty shoot-out and reach the 1/4 finals.

Artyom Dzyuba - big Russian forward

He is considered a conflict footballer. However, Artyom himself is sure that he simply has a masculine character and the right to just be himself.

Artem Dzyuba:

“You know, now in football this happens more and more often – whether the coach likes you or doesn’t like you. You can be head and shoulders above the competitor, but you will sit on the bench because you don’t like it. For any reason. Because you just don’t like it as a human being. I think this is wrong. We are not in the fashion world, so that everything is decided according to the principle "I like it - I don't like it." A girl can like it. And a guy - what's the difference!?

Complex character or something else - I don’t understand this. It seems to me that those who want to win and strive for something are not easy guys. In such a situation, it’s better for me like this: to honestly say everything in person and go somewhere, than to sit under someone. Lie or smile like a devoted dog, but sit for three or four years, beat your chest and shout that I am a great Spartak, Zenit, Dynamo, lick diamonds ...

Better to be honest and go to Tomsk or Rostov than just sit and not be yourself. Maybe it's somewhat comfortable, but it's not fair. In my opinion, a man should go his own way. The one he thinks is right. That's all".

The growth of Artyom Dziuba: 196 centimeters.

Personal life of Artyom Dzyuba:

Married. Wife - Christina.

They met in Nizhny Novgorod. And a month after they met, they decided to legalize the relationship. Then Artyom and Christina had a son, Nikita.

Artyom Dzyuba with his wife Kristina

In March 2015, a scandal erupted due to the fact that Artem was caught by the paparazzi in the company of the well-known TV presenter of the Russia-2 channel.

The couple was spotted on the eve of the departure of the Russian national team to qualifying match Euro 2016 to Montenegro. The football player left the hotel where the national team lived for a little date in the blonde's car. They were there for about an hour and were filmed kissing.

After this scandal, Orzul divorced her husband. But Kristina Artem forgave.

There are not so many photos of Artem Dzyuba with his wife, Kristina, on the network. The infamous football player again riveted the attention of his fans to his own personal life. All thanks to the World Championship taking place in Russia and the brilliant game of our athletes.

Football player Artem Dziuba became famous for his difficult character and a series of certain scandalous facts. Therefore, his photo with his wife is often of interest to sports fans who want to learn more about the personal life of the red-and-blue striker.

Wonderful New Year

The striker met his future wife back in 2012. Journalists say that for the sake of a new love, Christina left her former chosen one, whom she was going to marry. The details of her biography remain a mystery for curious fans, because Orlova (maiden name of a young woman) does not give an interview without a husband.

It is only known that the chosen one of the Russian striker was born and raised in Nizhny Novgorod. The girl was in her fourth year at a local university, when she met her future husband in a common company on New Year's Eve.

After deciding to connect her life with Artem, Christina, with the help of a football player, transferred to a metropolitan university, because she did not want to lose her education.

Difficulties of choice

Before meeting Dziuba future wife met with another football player, Ivan Komissarov. It was not possible to find joint photos of the Spartak player with Christina on the network, but it is known that the girl was very skeptical about meetings with athletes.

For a long time, Christina considered all representatives of this mass sport to be narrow-minded and rude people who did not shine with intellectual abilities.

On New Year's Eve 2012, Christina's friends persuaded her to celebrate her favorite celebration in the capital, where the fateful acquaintance took place. It is well known that the rivals in the fight for the heart of the fragile Nizhny Novgorod beauty were very close friends before the fatal party. The budding football player did his best and was able to win Orlova in just a few days. At the same time, he was so sweet, courteous and witty that the girl did not suspect a representative of that same uncouth sports fraternity in an attractive boyfriend.

Everything fell into place when the guy came to meet the parents of the chosen one. The girl's father has long been an avid fan and all Russian football players knew by sight, not missing a single significant competition. It was then that it turned out that Orlova's new boyfriend is a very promising athlete.

Young family

In the media, young people got married very quickly. In articles on football achievements Dzyuba, there were reports about the quick wedding of the athlete, the newspapers were full of joint photos young man and his wife. A little later, in an interview with a glossy publication, Artem said that he was building a family hearth in the Moscow region and plans to sign his charming chosen one in a couple of years in beautiful place, on paradise islands. He shared his plans for the future of Russian football with his fans in 2013.

Shortly after moving to the capital, Christina pleased her husband with her first child, the charming baby Nikita became the successor of the sports family.

So, in 2012, the football player admitted to the whole world that he became absolutely happy thanks to the replenishment in the family. He was present at the birth, and the birth of a small native person led the tough striker of the Russian team into absolute delight.

The second baby was born in 2016. Happy parents named the child Maxim and predict a sports future for him. According to Artem, Nikita has been practicing with a leather ball almost from the cradle, and his brother is likely to become a famous hockey player.

Complex nature

Repeatedly, the star representative of the domestic became the object of close attention of journalists because of his temper and lack of restraint:

1. In 2009, Artem's transition from Spartak to Tomsk sport Club accompanied by accusations of theft. Allegedly, Dziuba stole a solid amount of American rubles from his teammate Vladimir Bystrov right in the locker room. Artem took the accusations as the desire of the coach to remove the intractable football player from the central team. According to various sources, the amount stolen was equal to 25,000 Russian rubles. Dziuba said that the victim himself threw the money to him.
2. Immediately, after talking about the theft, a scandal broke out over disagreements between the football player and sports commentator Vitaly Utkin. The match observer called Dzyuba stupid because of his statement about the coach's desire to ruin Artyom's career by accusing him of stealing. The football player reacted immediately and wished Valery to recover quickly, calling Utkin a "pathetic little man." Immediately, a reply post by a commentator appeared in Telegram that Dziuba was being paid extra for his refusal to enter the field.
3. In 2016, after Zenit and the national team from Krasnodar, when goalkeeper Yuri Ladynin was unable to repel Artem's attack, the athletes allegedly got into a fight in the locker room. The conflict arose because the hot-tempered striker of St. Petersburg right on the field showed the opponent's goalkeeper obscene gesture.

But the most famous and unpleasant for the footballer was the love square in 2015. Then the ubiquitous paparazzi were able to post photos of Dzyuba on the Web, in which the footballer was captured during a romantic date at the Zenith training camp. The forward’s companion was not his faithful wife, but sports journalist Maria Orzul.

A serious scandal erupted, the TV presenter had to leave work and withstand the attacks of her husband, who filed for divorce. Alexander Taschin, Head of Directorate sports programs on the Russia 24 TV channel, he began to turn a blind eye to Maria's antics.

Athlete's personal life now

The football player was lucky - his wife Christina was able to forgive her husband and soon, after publicly admitting that he was wrong, the athlete returned to the family. Reconciliation was secured by a huge number of joint photos in the press and the birth of a second child, which the joyful Dziuba shared with his fans.

He called his misdeed a reckless move and said that what happened helped him to conduct a soul-searching.

Now the sons and Christina are the most important people in the life of a football player. The wife even chooses which team the windy spouse will play for next season. So, at the invitation of the Ufa national team, the family of the popular striker refused. Too much distance between the house and the place of work Christina obviously did not like. But the beauty does not want to move from their comfortable St. Petersburg to distant Bashkiria.

Artem Dzyuba was born in Moscow in 1988. His parents were far from sports in the professional sense. My father worked in law enforcement, my mother worked in trade, first as a salesperson, and then as a deputy store manager. How could an ordinary boy become the most expensive scorer of the Russian national team?

The future footballer's passion for sports began at the age of 6. The boys spent all the fine days in the yard kicking the ball, dreaming of football glory, during the periods when matches were shown on TV. Street workouts were not in vain, and Dziuba got into football section Moscow, and after - to the Spartak Football Academy. Then Dziuba was 8 years old.

All career highlights future professional football player went to FC Spartak Moscow, starting with the youth team, then the youth team, and finally, in 2005, became a member of the team's backup team. A year later, the athlete's game was noticed and transferred to the main team, where he made his debut in 2006 against the Yekaterinburg Urals in the Russian Cup. For about a year I had to work as a “second number”, coming on as a substitute and playing out small fragments of matches, but the zeal and constantly growing skill were rearranged in place in starting lineup commands.

2007 becomes a landmark year for the striker, in 27 league games he scores 6 goals and receives the title of “Best Scorer”. With this title comes honor and respect among colleagues, management, and even greater interest in the life of a football player among fans.

Competent work and constant development in the professional plane affected the interests of someone from the team, and possibly the club's management. There was a scandal.

In 2009, when Spartak was at a competition in Austria, one of the participants in the event lost money. The amount was not specified, but insider sources told the media at the time that it was impressive, even for non-distressed players. It is not clear how this happened, but the money allegedly missing from Vladimir Bystrov turned out to be among Dzyuba's personal belongings.

The situation developed very quickly and here it is worth paying tribute to Artyom's endurance, who steadfastly endured all the accusations and did not get tired of repeating that he was the victim of a scam aimed at expelling him. The owners of Spartak did not dare to fire the top scorer of Russia and transferred him to Tom, where Artem played the 2009-2010 season. Here he showed his best side, very quickly becoming the main striker and scoring 10 goals per season.

Apparently, the one who sent him into exile did not expect such results and returned the prodigal son back. Subsequently, the version that the transfer to another club was supposed to break him and force him to voluntarily terminate the contract, but when the severity of the situation made him play better than before, the organizers of the provocation had to play back.

At the end of the season, the player returns to his native team and plays the next two football years with dignity. Dziuba becomes the author of one of the goals in a remarkable game against Basel (3:2). 2012 becomes a landmark, as it brings him the captain's armband and in his debut, in this title match, the club defeats Zenit. Then "Spartak" goes to the Champions League. However, the increase in activity was replaced by a noticeable decline, both in the quality of the game and in relations with the management. The result is the transition to rent “Rostov”. Here Artem played again and scored in several key points thanks to which he received the title of "top scorer". As part of Rostov, the player won the first big trophy- RF Cup.

In the off-season 2014-2015, the contract with the Spartak club ended. The management offered to extend it on the same terms. Naturally, Artem refused and declared his readiness to consider adequate proposals from other clubs. And those followed. The first media report suggested that the player would sign a contract with Lokomotiv, but a counteroffer from Zenit (St. Petersburg) with a fee of 3.3 million euros turned out to be more attractive and an agreement was concluded. According to the football player, one of the reasons for accepting the offer was the mission of the club - “Win every match, no matter what”. This motivation played a decisive role.

Collective life of Artem Dziuba

The player has been in the second national team of the Russian Federation since 2011, where he came from the youth team. By the end of the year, he moved to the main team and entered the field against the US team, where his partner Roman Shirokov converted the penalty earned by Dzyuba.

2015 brought a new title to the player who scored the decisive goal for the Swedes and 4 goals for Liechtenstein. Now, in addition to being recognized as the top scorer, he became the second in the history of the Russian national team to score more than 3 goals in one game.

In 2016, another scandal occurred that could lead to another “business trip” to clubs from the middle of the list. In the match against Krasnodar, the scorer of the Russian national team managed to print the opponents' gates in the 86th minute. However, the triumph did not happen, because the opponents managed to hit the gates of “Zenith” twice in stoppage time. Dzyuba flared up and showed an indecent gesture to his partner Yuri Lodygin (goalkeeper).

The media instantly hyped the story and stated that after final whistle there was a fight between partners on the basis of accusations of defeat. Subsequently, neither the leaders of the club nor the players themselves confirmed the information.

In 2017, Dziuba was appointed team captain, who came as GT Mircea Lucescu. Soon after that, Artem's instagram was replenished with a record that he, with a heavy heart, decided to move to one of the clubs in China, where the fees are noticeably higher, and the level of domestic players is sufficient for victories. Most of the users who commented on this post considered it a fake, in fact it turned out to be so.

The end of 2017 was marked by Dzyuba's 100th match for Zenit and his withdrawal from the main team. Immediately there was talk that another transfer or loan was coming. The main version was seen as a lease to the CSKA club, but it was not confirmed. Soon, representatives announced the lease of the player Tula Arsenal. One of the reasons for such a castling was the relationship between the top scorer of the Russian national team and Roberto Mancini, who replaced Lucescu, who brought the player out of the base. Often there were statements that the footballer had lost his form and was showing no top scores. However, the transition turned out to be useful, since in Arsenal Dzyuba got a place in the first team and began to actively score.

The proof that the transition benefited the player was the result of the game "Zenith - Arsenal", in which Dziuba equalized the score on 89 minutes and brought the game to a draw. celebrating scored ball he walked over to the Zenith bench and pointed to the name on the uniform, turning his back on Mancini.

Personal life of Artem Dziuba

The football player is married, his wife's name is Christina and their relationship developed according to the classics of the genre. At the time of writing, their son Nikita was 5 years old.

And this side of the life of a football player did not go smoothly. Thematic media and portals were excited by reports that Dziuba was captured in a car with a girl in whom Internet users recognized TV presenter Maria Orzul. The scandal arose at lightning speed, although the photo of two people in the car does not allow us to talk about adultery. However, in this situation she was present, and mutual.

“For me, that situation was important lesson, who showed that I can lose, ”he comments on what happened,“ My wife and I had a long conversation and I am ashamed of my act, which I will no longer commit. I am very grateful to Christina for helping save the family.”

At the end of 2016, Russia's top scorer became a father for the second time. Although he does not like to advertise his personal life and is extremely negative about journalists trying to catch another fried news, in an interview for the official website of Arsenal, he mentioned that the eldest son is actively involved in football, and the youngest does not yet show a frank craving for what anything but mischief.

The best scorer of the Russian national football team 2018

Despite harsh statements about Spartak fans, which caused a flurry of criticism and emotional statements, Dzyuba remains the most expensive player Russian team and from the first days of the formation of the team for the 2018 World Cup was fixed at the base.

The first match and he scored a header immediately after coming on as a substitute. The second exit on the field, against Egypt, also did not remain without a stroke of the ball in the opponents' goal after hitting the striker.

1/8 finals and again Dziuba is distinguished by a single goal in regular time, after which Akinfeev did the impossible (repulsed the penalty with his foot lying down)!

After the defeat in the game with Croatia, Artem shared his experiences without holding back tears:

“Despite the fact that our hearts are broken by defeat and exit from the competition, we console ourselves with the fact that we showed a worthy game and reminded the whole world that Russian football still alive."
